I am trying to setup Replica outside of AWS and master is running at AWS RDS. And I do not want any downtime at my master. So I setup my slave node and now I want to backup my current database which is at AWS. mysqldump -h RDS ENDPOINT -u root -p --skip-lock-tables --single-transaction --flush-logs --hex-blob --master-data=2 --all-databases > /root/dump.sql I tested it on my VM and it worked fine but when tying it with RDS it gives me error mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK': Access denied for user 'root'@'%' (using password: YES) (1045) Is it because i do not have super

(i.e. If store an object around 10 AM EST, the db column should reflect 7 AM

I had a question about Amazon RDS. I only need the database online for about 2 hours a day but I am dealing with quite a large database at around 1gb. I have two main questions: Can I automate bringing my RDS database online and offline via scripts to save money? When I put a RDS offline to stop the "work hours" counter running and billing me, when I bring it back online will it still have the same content (i.e will all my data stay there, or will it have to be a blank DB?).
