Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Creating datasets from new database data sources

You can use a variety of database data sources to provide data to Amazon QuickSight. This includes Amazon RDS instances and Amazon Redshift clusters. It also includes MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, and PostgreSQL instances in your organization, Amazon EC2, or similar environments.

When creating a new database dataset, you can select one table, join several tables, or create a SQL query to retrieve the data that you want. You can also change whether the dataset uses a direct query or instead stores data in SPICE.

When you create a dataset based on an Amazon service like Amazon RDS, Amazon Redshift, or Amazon EC2, data transfer charges might apply when consuming data from that source. Those charges might also vary depending on whether that Amazon resource is in the home Amazon Web Services Region that you chose for your Amazon QuickSight account. For details on pricing, see the pricing page for the service in question.
