Hello everyone,
I'm just playing about with a AWS RDS library. The problem as I see it, is that there are hundreds of features that can be wrapped into the library, it's a complete pain in the rear end. Anyway, I'm currently integrating the very basics, everything is apparently working great. This library interacts with the AWB RDS API.
Please Note:
I have added a flexible method called ExecuteNativeMethod, which provides direct access to the underlying AWS RDS API. As long as you know the API method name and its corresponding request object, you can use this method to invoke any of the hundreds of available SDK calls without waiting for explicit wrapper updates.
I'm not enjoying Java, not one little bit. But now that work has finally slowed down a bit, I can continue learning Java.
The SQL database test in the screenshot below is NOT part of the AWS RDS Manager. Using this library, you create and manage the database instances you want to use in AWS RDS. Managing SQL databases are done using the normal #AdditionalJar: postgresql-42.2.6.jar / mariadb-java-client-3.1.4.jar / mysql-connector-java-5.1.47-bin.jar / mssql-jdbc-13.4.0.jre11.jar etc etc etc and jSQL to interact with the databases directly on AWS RDS.
