My plan is to migrate from SQL Server to Postgresql, hosted on AWS. My Postgresql DB is in a VPC and the security group attached to it has the following inbound rules:
The first one is for my EC2 instance (where my server-side application is running) to connect to the DB, and the second one is the home IP address so that I can connect to it via pgAdmin.
This is what I get (I don't know what to fill in at 'Maintenance database', so I left it at postgres.
What am I missing? I need help with this.
I have noticed that for some combinations of VPN, local router, etc. the IP address the security group filled in for 'my IP' was not the one that RDS recognized as trying to connect. I found that curl --silent ifconfig.me returns the IP address that works the best for the security group.

I am brand new to RDS and have only used postgres through Rails and/or Heroku for the most part, so not that deep into database management. All I am trying to do is verify I can connect to the RDS instance I just created on AWS, but it is hanging, psql reporting this after hanging for about 30 seconds or a few minutes I guess:
$ psql postgresql://myuser:mypass#myawshost.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/my-db-name
psql: error: could not connect to server: Operation timed out
Is the server running on host "myawshost.rds.amazonaws.com" (<the ip address>) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
How do I connect to my AWS RDS instance from localhost?
I am sure I have the correct username and password.
I am sure the host is correct.
I am not sure if I should be including the port.
I am not sure if I am supposed to put a DB name, as under the "Configuration" tab in the RDS admin console for my database, it says DB instance ID: my-db-name, Engine version: 13.3, DB name: -, I am not sure if that - is my actual postgres db name or my-db-name is....
I tried this with the db name and it still hangs:
$ psql postgresql://myuser:mypass#myawshost.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/-
I edited the security group which is linked under the VPC security groups section of the Connectivity & security tab of https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/home, so it allows all incoming connections. I also tried limiting to just my IP address as incoming connections.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks. Not sure why it would just be hanging. I have used a local version of postgres just fine, but connecting to postgres RDS is not working.
Underneath the Connectivity and Security > Security section I just noticed it says Public accessibility: No. Must I enable something else? There is also one VPC, one Subnet group, and several Subnets, which I don't know too much about, must I do something there?
Finally, "status" says Available with a green light, so things seem fine there.
I found a useful link in AWS knowledge center, I hope this will help you.
Btw if your RDS is deployed in a public subnet, yes you need to enable if you want to access RDS over the internet.
My DB instance is in a public subnet, and I can't connect to it over the internet from my local computer
This issue can occur when the Publicly Accessible property of the DB instance is set to No. To check whether a DB instance is publicly accessible, you can use the Amazon RDS Console or the AWS CLI.
To change the Publicly Accessible property of the Amazon RDS instance to Yes:
Verify that your VPC has an internet gateway attached to it. Make sure that the inbound rules for the security group allow connections.
Open the Amazon RDS console.
Choose Databases from the navigation pane, and then select the DB instance.
Choose Modify.
Under Connectivity, extend the Additional configuration section, and then choose Publicly accessible.
Choose Continue.
Choose Modify DB Instance.
Note: You don't need to choose Apply Immediately. For more information about how Apply Immediately can affect downtime, see Using the Apply Immediately parameter.

I am trying to connect to my RDS database from my computer with a python script using psycopg2.
python code:
import psycopg2
from db_credentials import *
import logging
def get_psql_conn():
conn = psycopg2.connect(dbname=DB_NAME, user=DB_USER, password=DB_PASS, host=DB_HOST)
logging.info("connected to DB!")
return conn
I get the following error:
psycopg2.OperationalError: could not connect to server: Operation timed out
Is the server running on host ********* and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
My security groups assigned to the RDS database:
SG 1:
SG 2:
Now i tried to make a security group which allows my computer IP to access the DB.
SG 3:
I can connect to the DB from my ec2 instances, running the same python script as above. This seemingly has to do with the 2nd security group, as when i remove it, i can no longer connect from my ec2 instances either. It then throws the same error i get when trying to connect from my computer.
I have little understanding of RDS or security groups, i just followed internet tutorials, but seemingly couldnt make much sense out of it.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks
When accessing an Amazon RDS database from the Internet, the database needs to be configured for Publicly Accessible = Yes.
This will assign a Public IP address to the database instance. The DNS Name of the instance will also resolve to the public IP address.
For good security on publicly-accessible databases, ensure that the Security Group only permits access from your personal IP address.
I am not able to connect through pgAdmin4 to Google Cloud SQL.
Following are the credentials I am providing and getting the error messege:
If you are configuring access for public IP connections, follow the next steps to connect with PgAdmin:
1) Create your PostgreSQL instance in Google Cloud Platform.
2) While creating the instance,
In Instance ID tab, write a name for your instance
In Default user password tab, write a password.
Choose the region.
Click on configuration options, go to Connectivity, enable Public IP, under Authorized networks, add network and their write the IP address of your PC. You can check the IP address in the link .
Click on create.
Then in PgAdmin:
1) In Host name/address put Public IP address of the instance.
To connect with Google Cloud SQL using pgadmin client, you can use cloud_sql_proxy
These steps need to follow:
Establish connection to Postgres.
cloud_sql_proxy -instances=<connection string>=tcp:5433
You will get connection string from GCP here
After executing cloud_sql_proxy, you will see something like this
Now create a new server connection using pgadmin client.
If you followed those steps properly it will connect and can use like local pgadmin.
Nibrass H has perfectly answered this question.
But I would like to add that if you have already created the Instance, then you can click on 'Edit Instance' and Add your IP in 'Connections'.

I need to use MySQL to send queries to a Google Cloud SQL database set up. I already have an instance created and a user, and I am able to access the database through the Cloud Shell. I can't seem to find the credentials to log into the database (host name, username, password, port and socket), and I'm not sure how to access them through the shell.
You can find the available methods to connect to your Cloud SQL instance here.
Connecting from an IP address without SSL is probably the easiest one:
In the Cloud Console, go to the cloud SQL instances screen and click on your instance’s name.
In the overview tab, take note of the Primary IP Address, you’ll use it instead of a hostname.
In the users tab, you can create a new user or reset the password of an existente one, including the root user.
In the authorization tab, add the ip or ip range where you are attempting the connection from, so Cloud SQL accept connections from your client (more on this here).
Start your mysql client as follows (note the port is not necessary as the default one is used):
mysql --host=[INSTANCE_IP_ADDR] --user=[USER_NAME] --password
I can't seem to connect to Cloud SQL with Workbench. I keep getting this error.
Failed to Connect to MySQL at CLOUD-SQL-IPv4:3306 with user root
Access denied for use 'root'#'WHITE-LISTED-IP-ADDRESS' (using password: YES)
I have white listed my IP.
I have set an IP for the SQL instance.
I have checked the username and Password several times.
Any idea why this is happening?
It seems you have to create a new user in the Google Cloud Console with the host name set to %(any host). You can't seem to connect using the root user.
Is it possible to connect with the #root user but after you finish the setup you have to restart the sql server.
What is important to set up an SSL certificate if you connect to you production database, but if you only try it out you can allow unsecured connection. Another important thing is to add your IP to the Authorised Networks in the Connection tab.
