Important
Only use an unencrypted MySQL connection when the client and server are in the same VPC and the network is trusted. For information about using encrypted connections, see Connecting to your MySQL DB instance on Amazon RDS with SSL/TLS from the MySQL command-line client (encrypted).
To connect to a DB instance using the MySQL command-line client, enter the following command at the command prompt. For the -h parameter, substitute the DNS name (endpoint) for your DB instance. For the -P parameter, substitute the port for your DB instance. For the -u parameter, substitute the user name of a valid database user, such as the master user. Enter the master user password when prompted.

After you enter the password for the user, you should see output similar to the following.
