title: Is there a way to configure Elastic Beanstalk to connect to an existing Oracle DB (without BYOL)?
body: <p>I am trying to set up Elastic Beanstalk to connect to my existing AWS-hosted Oracle DB (the on-demand kind, not the Bring-your-own-license kind), but when I use the Elastic Beanstalk Console >> Environment Details >> Edit Configuration >> Database utility, I'm not even presented with an option to connect to an <strong>existing</strong> AWS RDS. The only option they provide is to "<strong>Create</strong> an RDS DB Instance with this environment". Fine, I'm flexible... there's more than one way to skin a cat, but when I attempt to Create an RDS DB (Oracle) Instance (using their drop-down "Oracle se-1" option), I get the error message "DB Instance class not supported for oracle db engine."</p>
  
  <p>Is there a workaround? I just want to give my beanstalk access to my existing Oracle RDS and am grateful for any suggestions anyone has to offer. Please explain slowly... this is a new environment for me.</p>
