Expected behavior

To support connections to RDS.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

I can provide a repro later.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

RDS is a great way to manage databases. I would imagine plenty of people would love to see it supported.

Environment

Nest version: X.Y.Z

Yes, it is.

For Tooling issues:
- Node version: v9.5.0 
- Platform: Mac 10.13.3 

Others:

VS Code & Yarn

From the error message it seems that the test-db doesn’t exists.
