Activity: Setting up SSH Tunneling access for mysql rds instance

• Tunneling Connection

  • Overview:

  • Ensure you have mysql rds instance which is not publically accessible

  • Create an ec2 instance with public ip address

  • Create a mysql workbench connection to mysql as shown below

Activity: Create Some tables in the mysql instance and create a one time backup

• Execute the following SQL Statements in mysql Workbench

DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS employees;
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS employees;
USE employees;

SELECT 'CREATING DATABASE STRUCTURE' as 'INFO';

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS dept_emp,
                     dept_manager,
                     titles,
                     salaries, 
                     employees, 
                     departments;

/*!50503 set default_storage_engine = InnoDB */;
/*!50503 select CONCAT('storage engine: ', @@default_storage_engine) as INFO */;

CREATE TABLE employees (
    emp_no      INT             NOT NULL,
    birth_date  DATE            NOT NULL,
    first_name  VARCHAR(14)     NOT NULL,
    last_name   VARCHAR(16)     NOT NULL,
    gender      ENUM ('M','F')  NOT NULL,    
    hire_date   DATE            NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (emp_no)
);

CREATE TABLE departments (
    dept_no     CHAR(4)         NOT NULL,
    dept_name   VARCHAR(40)     NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (dept_no),
    UNIQUE  KEY (dept_name)
);

CREATE TABLE dept_manager (
   emp_no       INT             NOT NULL,
   dept_no      CHAR(4)         NOT NULL,
   from_date    DATE            NOT NULL,
   to_date      DATE            NOT NULL,
   FOREIGN KEY (emp_no)  REFERENCES employees (emp_no)    ON DELETE CASCADE,
   FOREIGN KEY (dept_no) REFERENCES departments (dept_no) ON DELETE CASCADE,
   PRIMARY KEY (emp_no,dept_no)
); 

CREATE TABLE dept_emp (
    emp_no      INT             NOT NULL,
    dept_no     CHAR(4)         NOT NULL,
    from_date   DATE            NOT NULL,
    to_date     DATE            NOT NULL,
    FOREIGN KEY (emp_no)  REFERENCES employees   (emp_no)  ON DELETE CASCADE,
    FOREIGN KEY (dept_no) REFERENCES departments (dept_no) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    PRIMARY KEY (emp_no,dept_no)
);

CREATE TABLE titles (
    emp_no      INT             NOT NULL,
    title       VARCHAR(50)     NOT NULL,
    from_date   DATE            NOT NULL,
    to_date     DATE,
    FOREIGN KEY (emp_no) REFERENCES employees (emp_no) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    PRIMARY KEY (emp_no,title, from_date)
) 
; 

CREATE TABLE salaries (
    emp_no      INT             NOT NULL,
    salary      INT             NOT NULL,
    from_date   DATE            NOT NULL,
    to_date     DATE            NOT NULL,
    FOREIGN KEY (emp_no) REFERENCES employees (emp_no) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    PRIMARY KEY (emp_no, from_date)
) 
;

• Now execute the following sql Statements

USE employees;
INSERT INTO `departments` VALUES 
('d001','Marketing'),
('d002','Finance'),
('d003','Human Resources'),
('d004','Production'),
('d005','Development'),
('d006','Quality Management'),
('d007','Sales'),
('d008','Research'),
('d009','Customer Service');

• Lets create a one-time backup (Snapshot)

Activity: Restore the Database from the existing snapshot

• Lets do this activity from cli. Refer Here for the cli
• Restore Database

aws rds restore-db-instance-from-db-snapshot --db-snapshot-identifier 'onetime' --db-instance-identifier 'restoreddb' --db-instance-class 'db.t2.micro' --db-subnet-group-name 'mysql' --vpc-security-group-ids 'sg-034f65bf200df257d'

• Now check the database contents and it should match the source from which we have taken snapshots
