Parameters
  • Engine (string) -- The database engine to return.
  • EngineVersion (string) --

    The database engine version to return.

    Example: 3.6.0

  • DBParameterGroupFamily (string) --

    The name of a specific parameter group family to return details for.

    Constraints:

    • If provided, must match an existing DBParameterGroupFamily .
  • Filters (list) --

    This parameter is not currently supported.

    • (dict) --

      A named set of filter values, used to return a more specific list of results. You can use a filter to match a set of resources by specific criteria, such as IDs.

      Wildcards are not supported in filters.

      • Name (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        The name of the filter. Filter names are case sensitive.

      • Values (list) -- [REQUIRED]

        One or more filter values. Filter values are case sensitive.

        • (string) --
  • MaxRecords (integer) --

    The maximum number of records to include in the response. If more records exist than the specified MaxRecords value, a pagination token (marker) is included in the response so that the remaining results can be retrieved.

    Default: 100

    Constraints: Minimum 20, maximum 100.

  • Marker (string) -- An optional pagination token provided by a previous request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the marker, up to the value specified by MaxRecords .
  • DefaultOnly (boolean) -- Indicates that only the default version of the specified engine or engine and major version combination is returned.
  • ListSupportedCharacterSets (boolean) -- If this parameter is specified and the requested engine supports the CharacterSetName parameter for CreateDBInstance , the response includes a list of supported character sets for each engine version.
  • ListSupportedTimezones (boolean) -- If this parameter is specified and the requested engine supports the TimeZone parameter for CreateDBInstance , the response includes a list of supported time zones for each engine version.
