# Amazon Aurora Writeback Connector

## Intro

Amazon Aurora is a MySQL- and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database built for the cloud. Use this connector to export your data from a Domo DataSet to an Amazon Aurora database. To learn more about Amazon Aurora, visit their web page ([https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/](https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/)).

You export data to a Aurora database in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Aurora Writeback connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274).

<Note>**Note:** The owner of a writeback dataset must also be an owner or co-owner of the input dataset.</Note>

***

## Prerequisites

To configure this connector, you will need the following:

* A Domo Client ID and Client Secret. To obtain these credentials, do the following:

  1. Log into your Domo developer account at [https://developer.domo.com/login](https://developer.domo.com/login).
  2. [Create a new client.](https://developer.domo.com/new-client)
  3. Select the desired data and user application scope.
  4. Click **Create**.
* The hostname or IP address of your Aurora server.
* Your Aurora database or schema name.
* Your Aurora username and password.
* The port number of your Aurora server.

You can also include the URL where your SSL CA Certificate is located, though this is optional.

## Configuring the Connection

This section enumerates the options in the **Credentials** and **Details** panes in the Aurora Writeback Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, **Scheduling** and **Name & Describe Your DataSet**, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274).

### Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Domo developer account as well as the table in your Aurora database where you want your data to be copied to. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Field</p></th>
      <th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Description</p></th>
    </tr>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Domo Client ID</p></td>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Enter your Domo client ID.</p></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Domo Client Secret</p></td>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Enter your Domo client secret.</p></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Host</p></td>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Enter your Aurora database hostname.</p></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Port</p></td>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Enter your Aurora database port number.</p></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Database Name</p></td>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Enter the name of your Aurora database or schema.</p></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Username</p></td>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Enter your Aurora username.</p></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Password</p></td>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Enter your Aurora password.</p></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Certificate</p></td>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Enter the URL where the SSL Ca Certificate is located (optional).</p></td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

For more information about obtaining these credentials, see "Prerequisites," above.

Once you have entered valid credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to set up a new Domo-Aurora connection. You can manage connector accounts in the **Accounts** tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see [Managing User Accounts for Connectors](/s/article/360042926054).

### Details Pane

This pane contains a number of fields for specifying your data and indicating where it's going.

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">
  <thead>

    </tr>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Input DataSet ID</p></td>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Enter the DataSet ID (GUID) for the DataSet you want to copy to Aurora. You can find the ID by opening the details view for the DataSet in the Data Center and looking at the portion of the URL following datasources/. For example, in the URL [https://mycompany.domo.com/datasources/845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4/details/overview](https://mycompany.domo.com/datasources/845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4/details/overview), the DataSet ID is 845305d8-da3d-4107-a9d6-13ef3f86d4a4.</p></td>

    <tr>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Table Name</p></td>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Enter the name of the table in your Aurora database where you want to copy your DataSet data.</p></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Pre-Existing Table</p></td>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Select the table to write the dataset data to.</p></td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Operation Type</p></td>
      <td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p>Select <b>Create New Table</b> or <b> Update An Existing Table</b>.</p></td>
