You can access RDS instances through an EIP or through an ECS.
For details about how to create and connect to an ECS, see How Can I Create and Connect to an ECS?
The MySQL client version must be the same as the DB engine version of your RDS for MySQL instance. A MySQL database or client will provide mysqldump and mysql.
After data is migrated to RDS, you may need to change the IP address. For details, see Changing a Floating IP Address.
RDS system databases mysql and sys cannot be imported from one RDS for MySQL instance to another.
Before migrating a database to RDS, its data needs to be exported.
The mysql database is required for RDS management. When exporting the table structure, do not specify --all-database. Otherwise, a database fault will occur.
mysqldump --databases <DB_NAME> --single-transaction --order-by-primary --hex-blob --no-data --routines --events --set-gtid-purged=OFF-u <DB_USER> -p -h<DB_ADDRESS> -P <DB_PORT>|sed -e 's/DEFINER[ ]*=[ ]*[^*]*\*/\*/' -e 's/DEFINER[ ]*=.*FUNCTION/FUNCTION/' -e 's/DEFINER[ ]*=.*PROCEDURE/PROCEDURE/' -e 's/DEFINER[ ]*=.*TRIGGER/TRIGGER/' -e 's/DEFINER[ ]*=.*EVENT/EVENT/' ><BACKUP_FILE>
Enter the database password when prompted.
Example:
mysqldump --databases rdsdb --single-transaction --order-by-primary --hex-blob --no-data --routines --events --set-gtid-purged=OFF -u root -p -h 192.168.151.18 -P 3306 |sed -e 's/DEFINER[ ]*=[ ]*[^*]*\*/\*/' -e 's/DEFINER[ ]*=.*FUNCTION/FUNCTION/' -e 's/DEFINER[ ]*=.*PROCEDURE/PROCEDURE/' -e 's/DEFINER[ ]*=.*TRIGGER/TRIGGER/' -e 's/DEFINER[ ]*=.*EVENT/EVENT/' > dump-defs.sql
Enter password:
If you use mysqldump with a version earlier than 5.6, remove --set-gtid-purged=OFF before running this command.
After this command is executed, a dump-defs.sql file will be generated as follows:
[rds@localhost ~]$ ll dump-defs.sql-rw-r-----. 1 rds rds 2714 Sep 21 08:23 dump-defs.sql
The mysql database is required for RDS management. When exporting data, do not specify --all-database. Otherwise, a database fault will occur.
mysqldump --databases <DB_NAME> --single-transaction --hex-blob --set-gtid-purged=OFF --no-create-info --skip-triggers-u<DB_USER> -p -h<DB_ADDRESS> -P<DB_PORT> -r<BACKUP_FILE>
For details on the parameters in the preceding command, see 2.
Enter the database password when prompted.
Example:
mysqldump --databases rdsdb --single-transaction --hex-blob --set-gtid-purged=OFF --no-create-info --skip-triggers -u root -p -h 192.168.151.18 -P 3306 -r dump-data.sql
If you use mysqldump with a version earlier than 5.6, remove --set-gtid-purged=OFF before running this command.
After this command is executed, a dump-data.sql file will be generated as follows:
[rds@localhost ~]$ ll dump-data.sql-rw-r-----. 1 rds rds 2714 Sep 21 08:23 dump-data.sql
You can connect your client to RDS and import exported SQL files into RDS.
If the source database contains triggers, stored procedures, functions, or events, you must set log_bin_trust_function_creators to ON on the destination database before importing data.
# mysql -f -h<RDS_ADDRESS> -P<DB_PORT> -u root -p < <BACKUP_DIR>/dump-defs.sql
Example:
# mysql -f -h 172.16.66.198 -P 3306 -u root -p < dump-defs.sql
Enter password:
If you intend to import SQL statements of a table to RDS, specify a database (mydb) in the command. Otherwise, the error message "No database selected" may be displayed. Example:
# mysql -f -h 172.16.66.198 -P 3306 -u root -p mydb < dump-defs.sql
Enter password:
# mysql -f -h<RDS_ADDRESS> -P<DB_PORT> -u root -p < <BACKUP_DIR>/dump-data.sql
Example:
# mysql -f -h 172.16.66.198 -P 3306 -u root -p < dump-data.sql
Enter password:
