I need to run Sql Update/Delete commands for a AWS RDS system.

I tried 'jdbc' connection to access the data from the RDS. I was able to read the data successfully but I need to do run some update queries. It seems the jdbc won't support update operation. I tried to make connection to my RDS mysql with host, username, password, etc but it got denied due to ssl certificate authorization which is not supported in normal ssh connection to RDS. Kindly, let me know if there is any way to run update command. Thanks!!!

JDBC does support running update and delete commands against a database, so it should be possible to execute those commands against your AWS RDS system using JDBC.

If you are encountering an SSL certificate error when trying to connect to your RDS instance, you may need to configure SSL for your JDBC connection. To do this, you will need to obtain the SSL certificate for your RDS instance and configure your JDBC connection to use it.

Here are the steps you can follow to configure SSL for your JDBC connection:

  1. Download the SSL certificate for your RDS instance. You can do this by navigating to the RDS console in the AWS Management Console, selecting your instance, and clicking the "Download RDS Certificate" button.
  2. Save the SSL certificate to a file on your local machine.
  3. Update your JDBC connection URL to include the SSL properties. Here is an example URL:
jdbc:mysql://your-rds-instance-endpoint:3306/your-database-name?useSSL=true&requireSSL=true&verifyServerCertificate=true&sslMode=REQUIRED&trustCertificateKeyStoreUrl=file:///path/to/certificate.pem&trustCertificateKeyStorePassword=your_keystore_password

Replace your-rds-instance-endpoint with the endpoint of your RDS instance, and your-database-name

with the name of your database.

Replace /path/to/certificate.pem with the path to the SSL certificate file you downloaded in step 1.

Replace your_keystore_password with a password of your choice.

Use the updated JDBC connection URL to connect to your RDS instance and execute your update and delete commands.

Note that you may need to configure other SSL properties based on your specific RDS configuration. You can refer to the MySQL JDBC driver documentation for more information on the available SSL properties.
