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 database engine and engine version compatible with that DB parameter group family.
To list all of the available parameter group families for a DB engine, use the following command:
aws rds describe-db-engine-versions --query "DBEngineVersions[].DBParameterGroupFamily" --engine <engine>
For example, to list all of the available parameter group families for the MySQL DB engine, use the following command:
aws rds describe-db-engine-versions --query "DBEngineVersions[].DBParameterGroupFamily" --engine mysql
The output contains duplicates.
The following are the valid DB engine values:
+ aurora-mysql
+ aurora-postgresql
+ db2-ae
+ db2-se
+ mysql
+ oracle-ee
+ oracle-ee-cdb
+ oracle-se2
+ oracle-se2-cdb
+ postgres
+ sqlserver-ee
+ sqlserver-se
+ sqlserver-ex
+ sqlserver-web
parametersobjectAn array of parameter names and values for the parameter update. You must specify at least one parameter name and value.
For more information about parameter groups, see [Working with parameter groups](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_WorkingWithParamGroups.html) in the *Amazon RDS User Guide*, or [Working with 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.
tagsarrayTags to assign to the DB parameter group.
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';
