Connecting to the Database
The database that holds the billing information is hosted on the same instance that the service is on, so we will need the PublicDNS.
Note: Make sure that the EC2 security group allows tcp port 5432 for the appropriate IP block. See Create an EC2 Security Group for more details.
We are using a PostgreSQL and the default connection information is:
- host
- PublicDNS
- database name
- billing
- username
- billing_viewer
- password
- billing_viewer_password
ODBC
See Setting Up a Microsoft Windows ODBC Connection
JDBC
The driver class is org.postgresql.Driver and the jdbc url will look like jdbc:postgresql://PublicDNS/billing. If you go to http://PublicDNS/rest/v1/connectionInfo it will give the literal jdbc url for the host.
Command Line
Console - user@hostname ~ $
1
psql -h PublicDNS -U billing_viewer billing
Give billing_viewer_password when prompted for the password.
