Import CSV file in S3 into Aurora MySql

Question

I'm trying to import a CSV file from S3 into my Aurora for MySql table. [Amazon Docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/AuroraMySQL.Integrating.LoadFromS3.html#AuroraMySQL.Integrating.LoadFromS3.Text) shows this can be done using LOAD DATA FROM S3.

However, MySQL Workbench is marking this as an error and failing. It says "S3" is not valid at this position, expecting \M\A\S\T\E\R.

I don't see a way to run the command directly on Aurora without the workbench. How can I get this to work?

I'm using MySQL Workbench 8.0.36, and a provisioned cluster running 8.0.mysql_aurora.3.04.1. As far as I can tell, I have configured permissions correctly (though the problem does not seem to be permissions related. I also have no problem running queries on my cluster from the workbench.

Hello.

Have you set an IAM role for Aurora MySQL?  
If you have not set it, please set it by following the steps in the document below.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/AuroraMySQL.Integrating.LoadFromS3.html#AuroraMySQL.Integrating.LoadFromS3.Authorize

Also, what command did you run?  
To read the text, you need to specify the S3 URL as shown below.  
```
LOAD DATA FROM S3 's3://mybucket/data.txt'
    INTO TABLE table1
    (column1, @var1)
    SET table_column2 = @var1/100;
```

To connect to Aurora MySQL without using "Workbench" you need to use MySQL commands.  
You need to run the below command below.  
```
mysql -h "Aurora MySQL Endpoint" -u root -p
```
