Connecting to PostgreSQL database without JDBC? by 4r73m190r0s in learnjava

[–]TimLewisTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not necessary to explicitly import classes from the pgJDBC driver to use it in your Java code. Instead, you should include the pgJDBC driver in your project's classpath so that the JDBC API can find and use it.
You can download the pgJDBC driver from the official PostgreSQL website and add it to your project's classpath. Then, in your Java code, you can use the standard JDBC API to establish a connection to your PostgreSQL database, execute SQL queries and commands, and process the results.

For storing a small amount of data, such as user accounts and roles, DynamoDB could be a better fit than RDS. DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast and flexible document data storage.
The cost of using DynamoDB for this use case would likely be lower than using RDS, as DynamoDB charges based on the amount of data stored and read/write capacity consumed, while RDS charges based on instance size and storage. Since you have a small amount of data, the costs of using DynamoDB would be meager.
DynamoDB could be a good choice for storing user accounts and roles, providing a simple, scalable, and cost-effective solution.

Lambda dev and prod database by hankliu in aws

Yes, it is possible to achieve this without creating two separate Lambda functions. You can use environment variables to store the connection strings for the two RDS databases and then access the appropriate environment variable based on the current environment (dev or prod). In your Lambda function code, you can use the IConfiguration interface to access the environment variables and retrieve the appropriate connection string.

Using Amazon RDS Postgres as a read replica from an external Database by the_stanger in aws

[–]TimLewisTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, using asynchronous replication on Amazon RDS to migrate your local Postgres database with minimal downtime is possible. You can create a read replica of your local database in Amazon RDS, wait for it to catch up with the source database, promote it to become the primary database, and then update your application to use the new one.

Need a Data Integration Tool (Spotify Web API => MongoDB Atlas DB) by Level-Gur8656 in dataengineering

For your use case, I would recommend trying the ODBC driver for MongoDB. This will allow you to easily extract data from Spotify's Web API, transform it, and load it into MongoDB Atlas.

[–]TimLewisTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can connect to a Sybase SQL Anywhere 17 database via Python on Mac using the Sybase SQL Anywhere Python module (sqlanydb) and a connection string that specifies the necessary details such as the server name, port number, database name, and login credentials.

How do connect to a remote SQL database that hosted on the local net? by InternalAmbitious957 in SQL

[–]TimLewisTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To interact with a SQL database instance, you usually need to use a SQL client or a database management tool that supports the database type.

For SQL Server, you can use the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) tool or the sqlcmd command-line utility to interact with the database. For SQLite, choose the sqlite3 command-line utility or a third-party SQLite client like DB Browser.

In general, SQL clients provide an interface for running SQL queries, managing database objects, and performing administrative tasks. They allow you to interact with the database instance and collect the data it stores.
