Connecting Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL) to Amazon Q Business

Note

Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL) connector remains fully supported for existing customers through May 31, 2026. While this connector is no longer available for new users, current users can continue to use it without interruption. We are continuously evolving our connector portfolio to offer more scalable and customizable solutions. For future integrations, we recommend exploring the Amazon Q Business Custom Connector Framework[1], designed to support a broader range of enterprise use cases with enhanced flexibility.

Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL) is a web service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the AWS Cloud. If you are a AWS user, you can use Amazon Q Business to index your Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL) data source.

The Amazon Q Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL) data source connector supports PostgreSQL 9.6.

You can connect your Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL) instance to Amazon Q Business—using either the AWS Management Console, CLI, or the CreateDataSource API—and create an Amazon Q web experience.

Important

As a best practice, provide Amazon Q with read-only database credentials. Also, avoid adding tables with sensitive data or personal identifiable information (PII).
