    The database engine version to return.

    Example: 5.1.49

  • DBParameterGroupFamily (string) --

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

    Constraints:

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

    Not currently supported.

    • (dict) --

      This type is not currently supported.

      • Name (string) -- [REQUIRED]

        This parameter is not currently supported.

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

    The maximum number of records to include in the response. If more than the MaxRecords value is available, a pagination token called a marker is included in the response so that the following 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.
