Enable Amazon RDS for Oracle immutable tables for protected workloads
Immutable tables are a feature of Oracle Enterprise Edition, or Oracle Standard Edition database 19c and higher. In this post, we guide you through the features of immutable tables when creating, storing, and managing data on Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle.
Simplify Industrial IoT: Use InfluxDB edge replication for centralized time series analytics with Amazon Timestream
As industrial and manufacturing companies embark on their digital transformation journey, they are looking to capture and process large volumes of near real-time data for optimizing production, reducing downtime, and improving overall efficiency. As part of this, they’re looking to store data locally at the plant floor or on-premises data center for real-time low-latency reporting […]
Achieve point-in-time recovery for all databases in Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server
Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server allows up to 5,000 databases per instance. However, the number of databases that can be restored to a specific point in time using point-in-time recovery (PITR) depends on the instance class type. In this post, we show how to use native backup and restore commands to achieve PITR for databases that aren’t eligible because of the instance type limitation. We present two solutions: one applicable to all versions of RDS Custom for SQL Server and the other for RDS Custom for SQL Server version 2022.
Migrate Amazon RDS for Oracle BLOB column data to Amazon S3
In this post, we demonstrate an architecture pattern in which we migrate BLOB column data from Amazon RDS for Oracle tables to Amazon S3. This solution allows you to choose the specific columns and rows containing BLOB data that you want to migrate to Amazon S3. It uses Amazon S3 integration, which enables you to copy data between an RDS for Oracle instance and Amazon S3 using SQL.
Using DML auditing for Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra)
This post discusses why DML auditing is important for some organizations, and walks you through setting it up for Amazon Keyspaces. Then, using an example, we show how native integration between Amazon Keyspaces and CloudTrail makes it straightforward to record and analyze audit trails (change events) from multiple tables in a keyspace without the use of additional tools.
How Prisma Cloud built Infinity Graph using Amazon Neptune and Amazon OpenSearch Service
Palo Alto Network’s Prisma Cloud is a leading cloud security platform protecting enterprise cloud adoption from code to cloud workflows. Palo Alto Networks chose Amazon Neptune Database and Amazon OpenSearch Service as the core services to power its Infinity Graph. In this post, we discuss the scale Palo Alto Networks requires from these core services and how we were able to design a solution to meet these needs. We focus on the Neptune design decisions and benefits, and explain how OpenSearch Service fits into the design without diving into implementation details.
Triple your knowledge graph speed with RDF linked data and openCypher using Amazon Neptune Analytics
There are numerous publicly available Resource Description Framework (RDF) datasets that cover a wide range of fields, including geography, life sciences, cultural heritage, and government data. Many of these public datasets can be linked together by loading them into an RDF-compatible database. In this post, we demonstrate how to build knowledge graphs with RDF linked data and openCypher using Amazon Neptune Analytics.
Build a custom HTTP client in Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL and Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL: An alternative to Oracle’s UTL_HTTP
Some customers use Oracle UTL_HTTP package to write PL/SQL programs that communicate with web (HTTP) servers and invoke third-party APIs. When migrating to Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition or Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for PostgreSQL, these customers need to perform a custom conversion of their SQL code since PostgreSQL does not offer a similar […]
Validate database object consistency after migrating from IBM Db2 z/OS to Amazon RDS for Db2
In this post, we delve into the best practices for migrating database objects from IBM Db2 z/OS to RDS for Db2 and walk you through how to validate these migrated database objects.
Improve speed and reduce cost for generative AI workloads with a persistent semantic cache in Amazon MemoryDB
In this post, we present the concepts needed to use a persistent semantic cache in MemoryDB with Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock, and the steps to create a chatbot application that uses the cache. We use MemoryDB as the caching layer for this use case because it delivers the fastest vector search performance at the highest recall rates among popular vector databases on AWS. We use Knowledge Bases for Amazon Bedrock as a vector database because it implements and maintains the RAG functionality for our application without the need of writing additional code.
