Data loading commonly occurs during the initial setup and configuration of applications with AWS. Suppose you already have data that you want to use locally. The uploading process sends data from your local network to the cloud service. There are various reasons you might want to perform data upload. Whatever the reason, let's explore how to use MySQL Workbench to load AWS data in the following article by Mytour.

This technique cannot transfer everything from the hard drive or local network to MySQL on the RDS server. It assumes that you only want to move data. If you want to transfer the entire database, such as performing the initial migration process from the local network to RDS, you have to perform much more complex steps and it takes much more time. Generally, this complex process is only for developers.

Before starting the process, you need to prepare a local file for uploading to RDS configuration, install a copy of MySQL Workbench, and connect to the MySQL setup on RDS.

Assuming you have a copy of the .sql file containing everything needed to recreate your database. Additionally, you need the necessary permissions to access the database on RDS, which may require Admin rights.

Using MySQL Workbench to Load AWS Data

Step 1: Open MySQL Workbench and connect to RDS. You will see the connection open normally.

Step 2: Select Server =>Data Import.

The Data Import page will open on the screen.

Step 3: Here, you select Import from Dump Project Folder and enter a location for the folder.

This folder contains a series of scripts used to recreate the database schema and the objects contained within it.

Step 4: Choose the objects you want to import under Select Database Objects to Import.

This feature is only available when you are using the project directory.

Step 5: Click Import to utilize MySQL Workbench for AWS data loading.

For small setups like FirstDatabase, the process takes around 1 or 2 seconds.
