How long will it take to migrate a 5 GB Database to Amazon RDS I just need an estimation.

How long will / can it take to move a 5 GB big database from an external source to amazon RDS. What is best practise to do it?

I just moved succesfully a few days ago a small test database (wordpress) from an external webhost to amazon. But without compression etc.

I`d say it would take 4-5 hours to move a 5 GB database, but I have not so much experience and I am unsure.

Thanks.
The usual answer: It depends

I'm assuming that you've read this guide on how to import data into an Oracle RDS (I chose Oracle because it's what I know, and you don't say what instance type you're using): http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Oracle.Procedural.Importing.html

There's similar guides for MySQL: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/MySQL.Procedural.Importing.NonRDSRepl.html

Have a look at the guides and do some tests, they should provide you with some idea of timescales.
