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.

    • 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.
