Can we import Data from Amazon S3 to an RDS SQL Server Database without integeration?

Question

I need to import data from an Amazon S3 bucket to an RDS SQL Server Database without the integration between Amazon RDS SQL Server and Amazon S3. Do we have any other way to do this?

Answer 1

To perform this use case, you can write a Lamdba function that uses the Amazon S3 API and a data base API in your programming language that can place data into the SQL Server Database. You would perform these tasks:

• Read the data from the Amazon S3 bucket.
• If the data is in a format like JSON, parse the data
• Open a connection to the database
• Run an INSERT SQL operation using the data you obtained from the S3 bucket.

You cannot perform this task with coding an app or Lambda function.
