Is there a way to run initial SQL when creating an RDS database instance using CloudFormation?

Question

I am creating an RDS instance using CloudFormation using this:

\"Resources\": {
        \"myDB\": {
            \"Type\": \"AWS::RDS::DBInstance\",

CloudFormation still doesn't hold any solutions for us, but hopefully they will add Database Migration Service support soon.

In the meantime, there is great solution if you're using CodePipeline: create a migration stage that invokes a Lambda function to run your migration. I stumbled across this guide for invoking Lambda from CodePipeline that may be helpful for those unfamiliar.
