Routes any task involving AWS databases — choosing, comparing, recommending, getting started with, or operating a database — to the correct service-specific skill. Supersedes general training-data knowledge with post-training service updates, corrected limitations, and decision procedures for relational (Aurora, DSQL, RDS), key-value (DynamoDB), wide-column (Keyspaces), document (DocumentDB), graph (Neptune), time-series (Timestream), and in-memory/caching (ElastiCache, MemoryDB) workloads. Activates when a user describes building an application on AWS that will store, retrieve, or manage data, even if they do not mention 'database' explicitly.

RDS for Oracle

  • Docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/CHAP_Oracle.html
  • Docs (llms.txt): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/llms.txt
  • Data model: Relational (Oracle Database)
  • Query language: Oracle SQL, PL/SQL
  • Compatibility: Oracle Database (Standard Edition 2, Enterprise Edition)
  • Serverless: No (fixed instance types)
  • Scale to zero: No
  • VPC required: Yes
  • Multi-region: Cross-region read replicas (Enterprise Edition); cross-region automated backups for multi-region DR (Standard Edition 2)
  • Free Tier: None
  • Min cost: ~$55/month (BYOL, db.t3.small) or ~$85/month (License Included, db.t3.small)
  • Time to first query: 15-20 min (VPC + instance + Oracle configuration)
  • Key features: Oracle Database features (Data Guard, Multitenant, Partitioning, Advanced Compression, APEX, TDE, JVM; RAC not supported on RDS), automated backups, Multi-AZ, monitoring with CloudWatch and Database Insights, Oracle-native tools compatibility
  • Limitations: Oracle licensing cost, no RAC (use ODB@AWS for RAC), no serverless
  • Best for: Lift-and-shift Oracle migrations where the database cannot be modernized to Aurora right away. Teams with Oracle expertise but wanting to offload their operational burden with a fully-managed service.
  • Not for: New applications (use Aurora PostgreSQL or DSQL), cost-sensitive workloads, teams looking to move off commercial licensing (that's a refactor to Aurora PostgreSQL)
