db_parameter_groups

Creates, updates, deletes or gets a db_parameter_group resource or lists db_parameter_groups in a region

Overview

Namedb_parameter_groups
TypeResource
DescriptionThe AWS::RDS::DBParameterGroup resource creates a custom parameter group for an RDS database family.
This type can be declared in a template and referenced in the DBParameterGroupName property of an AWS::RDS::DBInstance resource.
For information about configuring parameters for Amazon RDS DB instances, see [Working with parameter groups](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_WorkingWithParamGroups.html) in the *Amazon RDS User Guide*.
For information about configuring parameters for Amazon Aurora DB instances, see [Working with parameter groups](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/USER_WorkingWithParamGroups.html) in the *Amazon Aurora User Guide*.
Applying a parameter group to a DB instance may require the DB instance to reboot, resulting in a database outage for the duration of the reboot.

Fields

NameDatatypeDescription
db_parameter_group_namestringThe name of the DB parameter group.
Constraints:
+ Must be 1 to 255 letters, numbers, or hyphens.
+ First character must be a letter
+ Can't end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens

If you don't specify a value for DBParameterGroupName property, a name is automatically created for the DB parameter group.
This value is stored as a lowercase string.
descriptionstringProvides the customer-specified description for this DB parameter group.
familystringThe DB parameter group family name. A DB parameter group can be associated with one and only one DB parameter group family, and can be applied only to a DB instance running a DB engine and engine version compatible with that DB parameter group family.
The DB parameter group family can't be changed when updating a DB parameter group.
To list all of the available parameter group families, use the following command:
aws rds describe-db-engine-versions --query "DBEngineVersions[].DBParameterGroupFamily"
The output contains duplicates.
For more information, see CreateDBParameterGroup.
parametersobjectAn array of parameter names and values for the parameter update. At least one parameter name and value must be supplied. Subsequent arguments are optional.
RDS for Db2 requires you to bring your own Db2 license. You must enter your IBM customer ID (rds.ibm_customer_id) and site number (rds.ibm_site_id) before starting a Db2 instance.
For more information about DB parameters and DB parameter groups for Amazon RDS DB engines, see [Working with DB Parameter Groups](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_WorkingWithParamGroups.html) in the *Amazon RDS User Guide*.
For more information about DB cluster and DB instance parameters and parameter groups for Amazon Aurora DB engines, see [Working with DB Parameter Groups and DB Cluster Parameter Groups](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/USER_WorkingWithParamGroups.html) in the *Amazon Aurora User Guide*.
AWS CloudFormation doesn't support specifying an apply method for each individual parameter. The default apply method for each parameter is used.
tagsarrayAn optional array of key-value pairs to apply to this DB parameter group.
Currently, this is the only property that supports drift detection.
regionstringAWS region.

SELECT examples

Gets all db_parameter_groups in a region.

SELECT
region,
db_parameter_group_name,
description,
family,
parameters,
tags
FROM aws.rds.db_parameter_groups
WHERE region = 'us-east-1';

Gets all properties from an individual db_parameter_group.

SELECT
region,
db_parameter_group_name,
description,
family,
parameters,
tags
FROM aws.rds.db_parameter_groups
WHERE region = 'us-east-1' AND data__Identifier = '<DBParameterGroupName>';

INSERT example

Use the following StackQL query and manifest file to create a new db_parameter_group resource, using stack-deploy.

/*+ create */
INSERT INTO aws.rds.db_parameter_groups (
Description,
Family,
region
)
SELECT
'{{ Description }}',
'{{ Family }}',
'{{ region }}';

DELETE example

/*+ delete */
DELETE FROM aws.rds.db_parameter_groups
WHERE data__Identifier = '<DBParameterGroupName>'
AND region = 'us-east-1';
