Can I connect Amazon Aurora to iDBQuery?
Yes. Amazon Aurora is MySQL- and PostgreSQL-compatible, so iDBQuery connects to it directly through its MySQL or PostgreSQL connector. Point iDBQuery at your Aurora endpoint and ask questions in plain language to get answers cited back to the exact rows.
Amazon Aurora comes in MySQL-compatible and PostgreSQL-compatible editions, and iDBQuery connects to whichever you run using its standard MySQL or PostgreSQL connector — you just provide the Aurora endpoint, port, database, and credentials.
With Aurora connected you can:
- Ask in plain English — 'signups by plan this quarter' — and iDBQuery writes and runs the SQL for you.
- Trust the numbers — every figure is cited back to the exact Aurora rows.
- Combine sources — join Aurora with a CSV, a warehouse, or a REST API in a single answer, with no ETL.
Best practice is to point iDBQuery at an Aurora reader endpoint with a read-only user, so analytics load never touches your primary write instance. Because Aurora usually lives in a private subnet, deploy iDBQuery inside the same AWS VPC (or reach the database over an SSH tunnel or private link) so traffic stays inside your network.
Example: a SaaS company runs its app on Aurora PostgreSQL. Support leadership asks 'which accounts have the most open tickets and lowest usage?' and gets a ranked table instantly, each row traceable to Aurora. The semantic layer bridges developer-named tables to plain business terms, so people who don't know the schema can still get a cited answer in seconds.
