When you convert an IBM Db2 LUW database to RDS for MySQL or Amazon Aurora MySQL, be aware of the following.
Privileges for MySQL as a target
The privileges required for MySQL as a target are as follows:
CREATE ON *.*
ALTER ON *.*
DROP ON *.*
INDEX ON *.*
REFERENCES ON *.*
SELECT ON *.*
CREATE VIEW ON *.*
SHOW VIEW ON *.*
TRIGGER ON *.*
CREATE ROUTINE ON *.*
ALTER ROUTINE ON *.*
EXECUTE ON *.*
SELECT ON mysql.proc
INSERT, UPDATE ON AWS_DB2_EXT.*
INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON AWS_DB2_EXT_DATA.*
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON AWS_DB2_EXT_DATA.*
You can use the following code example to create a database user and grant the privileges.
CREATE USER 'user_name' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password'; GRANT CREATE ON *.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT ALTER ON *.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT DROP ON *.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT INDEX ON *.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT REFERENCES ON *.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT SELECT ON *.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT CREATE VIEW ON *.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT SHOW VIEW ON *.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT TRIGGER ON *.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT CREATE ROUTINE ON *.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT ALTER ROUTINE ON *.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT EXECUTE ON *.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT SELECT ON mysql.proc TO 'user_name'; GRANT INSERT, UPDATE ON AWS_DB2_EXT.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON AWS_DB2_EXT_DATA.* TO 'user_name'; GRANT CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES ON AWS_DB2_EXT_DATA.* TO 'user_name';
In the preceding example, replace user_name with the name of your user.
Then, replace your_password with a secure password.
To use Amazon RDS for MySQL or Aurora MySQL as a target, set the lower_case_table_names parameter
to 1. This value means that the MySQL server handles identifiers of such object names as tables,
indexes, triggers, and databases as case insensitive.
If you have turned on binary logging in your target instance, then set the
log_bin_trust_function_creators parameter to 1.
In this case, you don't need to use the DETERMINISTIC,
READS SQL DATA or NO SQL characteristics to create stored functions.
To configure these parameters, create a new DB parameter group or modify an existing DB parameter group.
