Amazon RDS for MySQL

Amazon RDS for MySQL is generally available in the DataSquares connection wizard. Managed MySQL on AWS RDS — connect like MySQL.

  1. In DataSquares, open Data Sources and choose Add data source.

  2. Pick Amazon RDS for MySQL in the connector picker (search or browse by category).

  3. Fill in the connection details below, then test the connection and save.

Field What to enter
Host The hostname or IP address of your Amazon RDS for MySQL server.
Port Prefilled with 3306 (the Amazon RDS for MySQL default) — change it if your server listens elsewhere.
Database The database to connect to.
Username / Password Credentials for a user with read access to the tables you want to analyze.
TLS Enable if your server requires an encrypted connection.

Grant the connection user read-only access — DataSquares only ever reads from your source.
