Creating RDS for SQL Server Data Connections

Before establishing a data connection to RDS for SQL Server, ensure that the following conditions are met:

  • You have obtained the address, port number, username, and password of RDS for SQL Server.
  • A CDM cluster is available and used as the network agent to ensure that DLV can communicate with RDS for SQL Server.

Creating an RDS for SQL Server Data Connection

  1. Log in to the DLV console.
  2. On the Data page, click the workspace drop-down list at the top of the page, select the workspace to be accessed, and click New Data Connection.

    Table 1 RDS for SQL Server data connection parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    Name

    Name of the data connection. Must contain 1 to 32 characters and contain only letters, digits, hyphens (-), and underscores (_).

    Instance ID

    ID of the database instance.

    Domain Name

    After an instance ID is selected, an intranet IP address of a database is automatically matched. The domain name cannot be changed.

    Port

    After an instance ID is selected, a database port is automatically matched. The port cannot be changed.

    Username

    Username of the database. The database user must have permission to access data tables and metadata.

    Password

    Password of the database user.

    Agent

    NOTE:

    RDS for SQL Server is not a fully managed service and thus cannot be directly connected to fully managed DLV. A CDM cluster serves as an agent that enables communication between them.

    Database

    You can select a database from the Database drop-down list.

  4. Click OK.

Using RDS for SQL Server Data Sources
