copied!<p>Amazon RDS is pure MySQL, accessible by your app the same way as any other MySQL database; the web services interface to RDS is purely for creation, deletion, and modification of the DB <em>instances</em>, not the DB data. From their <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/rds/faqs/#7" rel="nofollow noreferrer">FAQ</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Q: How do I access my running DB Instance?</p> <p>Once your DB Instance is available, you can retrieve its endpoint via the DescribeDBInstance API. Using this endpoint you can construct the connection string required to connect directly with your DB Instance using your favorite database tool or programming language. In order to allow network requests to your running DB Instance, you will need to authorize access. For a detailed explanation of how to construct your connection string and get started, please refer to our Getting Started Guide.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonRDS/latest/GettingStartedGuide/ConnectToDBInstance.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This</a> is the part of the Getting Started Guide you need -- it explains how to get the hostname of your new instance so you can connect to it, authorize the instance for access from the client, and then connect using the MySQL command-line client (as an example):</p> <pre><code>$ rds-describe-db-instances --headers $ rds-authorize-db-security-group-ingress default --cidr-ip 192.0.2.0/30 --headers $ mysql -h myinstance.crwjauxgijdf.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com -P 3306 -u mymasteruser -p </code></pre>
