How to import data from Amazon RDS?

Import data from Amazon RDS PostgreSQL

Zoho DataPrep supports importing data from Amazon RDS, a cloud database. Amazon RDS is also known as Amazon Relational Database Service and it helps to set up, operate, and scale databases.

Before looking into how to import data, let's take a look at the pre-requisites to connect to the PostgreSQL database. 

Prerequisites for PostgreSQL

Please ensure the following conditions are met before proceeding with connecting to your PostgreSQL.

1. Provide database read permissions to the Zoho DataPrep server.

2. Ensure you have the correct login credentials for your database. As a best practice, try connecting to your target database from the Zoho DataPrep server, using the native database management software available for the respective database.

Enable remote connections

Follow the steps below to enable remote connections:

  • Open the file pg_hba.conf found under the PostgreSQL_Home/data/folder. (<PostgreSQL_Home> refers to the directory where PostgreSQL database is installed.)
  • Add the following line, and save the file.

host all all <IP address> trust

Replace <IP address> with the IP address of the Zoho DataPrep server. The IP address must be mentioned along with the subnet mask. For example: 192.168.1.1/24.  

  • Open the file postgresql.conf found under the same <PostgreSQL_Home>/data/ folder. 
  • Find the key listen_address = and add the IP address of the Zoho DataPrep server.

listen_address = '<IP address>'

Replace <IP address> with the IP address of the Zoho DataPrep server. For example: 192.168.1.1.

To import data from Amazon RDS PostgreSQL

1. Create a pipeline or open an existing pipeline from the Home Page, Pipelines tab or Workspaces tab and click the Add data option. You can also click the Import data option under the Workspaces tab to import data.  
InfoInfo: You can also click the Import data  icon at the top of the pipeline builder and bring data from multiple sources into the pipeline.



2. Choose the Cloud databases category from the left pane and click Amazon RDS. You can also search Amazon RDS in the search box.


NotesNote: If you have already added an Amazon RDS connection, choose the required connection under the Saved connections category and proceed to import. To learn more about Saved connections, click here. 

3. Select Amazon RDS in the Database service name dropdown and the PostgreSQL Database type.

4. Enter the Endpoint, Database name, Connection name, username, and password to authenticate the database connection.

Notes
Note: The Connection name must be unique for each connection.



5. You can also select the Use SSL checkbox if your database server has been setup to serve encrypted data through SSL.

6. Click the Connect button.

Notes
Note: The connection configuration will be saved for importing data in the future. Credentials are securely encrypted and stored.

7. Select the tables that need to be imported. 



8. You can also Use SQL query option to select and import data.



9. Click Import to begin importing data from your Amazon RDS account.

To edit the Amazon RDS PostgreSQL connection

DataPrep saves your data connections to avoid the hassle of keying in the credentials every time you need to connect to a data source or destination. You can always edit the saved data connection and update them with new parameters or credentials using the Edit connection option.

1. Choose Saved connections from the left pane from the Choose your data source box while creating a new dataset.




2. You can manage your saved data connections right from the data import screen. Click the  (ellipses) icon to share, edit, view the connection overview, or remove the connection.



3. Click the Edit connection option to update the saved connection with new parameters or credentials.
