AWS Aurora (MySQL)

Anyquery is able to run queries from MySQL wire-compatible databases, such as AWS Aurora. This is useful when you want to import/export data from/to an AWS Aurora database. Or when you want to join an API with an AWS Aurora database.

Connection

To connect an AWS Aurora database to Anyquery, you need to provide the connection string. It has the following format:

user:password@tcp(domain.svc.aurora.amazonaws.com:3306)/database?tls=true

You can find the hostname in the AWS Aurora console. Go to the Connectivity & security tab, and find the Endpoint field. Your username is admin by default.
Your password is either the one you set up when creating the database or the one generated by AWS that you can find in the Secrets manager service. To connect from your local machine, you need to set access to publicly accessible by clicking on Modify. And then, click on the security group and add a new rule with your IP address.

Don’t forget to replace the database name in the connection string.

Then, create a new connection using the following command:

anyquery connection add

Refer to the MySQL guide for more information about the different parameters.
