class boto.rds2.layer1.RDSConnection(**kwargs)

Amazon Relational Database Service Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) is a web service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient, resizable capacity for an industry-standard relational database and manages common database administration tasks, freeing up developers to focus on what makes their applications and businesses unique.

Amazon RDS gives you access to the capabilities of a familiar MySQL or Oracle database server. This means the code, applications, and tools you already use today with your existing MySQL or Oracle databases work with Amazon RDS without modification. Amazon RDS automatically backs up your database and maintains the database software that powers your DB instance. Amazon RDS is flexible: you can scale your database instance’s compute resources and storage capacity to meet your application’s demand. As with all Amazon Web Services, there are no up-front investments, and you pay only for the resources you use.

This is the Amazon RDS API Reference . It contains a comprehensive description of all Amazon RDS Query APIs and data types. Note that this API is asynchronous and some actions may require polling to determine when an action has been applied. See the parameter description to determine if a change is applied immediately or on the next instance reboot or during the maintenance window. For more information on Amazon RDS concepts and usage scenarios, go to the `Amazon RDS User Guide`_.

When you delete a DB instance, all automated backups for that instance are deleted and cannot be recovered. Manual DB snapshots of the DB instance to be deleted are not deleted.

If a final DB snapshot is requested the status of the RDS instance will be “deleting” until the DB snapshot is created. The API action DescribeDBInstance is used to monitor the status of this operation. The action cannot be canceled or reverted once submitted.

Parameters:db_instance_identifier (string) –

The DB instance identifier for the DB instance to be deleted. This

parameter isn’t case sensitive.

Constraints:

• Must contain from 1 to 63 alphanumeric characters or hyphens
• First character must be a letter
• Cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens

Parameters:skip_final_snapshot (boolean) – Determines whether a final DB snapshot is created before the DB instance is deleted. If True is specified, no DBSnapshot is created. If false is specified, a DB snapshot is created before the DB instance is deleted.

The FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier parameter must be specified if

SkipFinalSnapshot is False.

Default: False

Parameters:final_db_snapshot_identifier (string) –

The DBSnapshotIdentifier of the new DBSnapshot created when

SkipFinalSnapshot is set to False.

Specifying this parameter and also setting the SkipFinalShapshot

parameter to true results in an error.

If you choose to migrate your DB instance from using standard storage

to using Provisioned IOPS, or from using Provisioned IOPS to using standard storage, the process can take time. The duration of the migration depends on several factors such as database load, storage size, storage type (standard or Provisioned IOPS), amount of IOPS provisioned (if any), and the number of prior scale storage operations. Typical migration times are under 24 hours, but the process can take up to several days in some cases. During the migration, the DB instance will be available for use, but may experience performance degradation. While the migration takes place, nightly backups for the instance will be suspended. No other Amazon RDS operations can take place for the instance, including modifying the instance, rebooting the instance, deleting the instance, creating a read replica for the instance, and creating a DB snapshot of the instance.

Parameters:db_instance_class (string) – The new compute and memory capacity of the DB instance. To determine the instance classes that are available for a particular DB engine, use the DescribeOrderableDBInstanceOptions action.

Passing a value for this parameter causes an outage during the change

and is applied during the next maintenance window, unless the ApplyImmediately parameter is specified as True for this request.

Default: Uses existing setting

Valid Values: `db.t1.micro | db.m1.small | db.m1.medium | db.m1.large |

db.m1.xlarge | db.m2.xlarge | db.m2.2xlarge | db.m2.4xlarge`

Parameters:db_security_groups (list) –

A list of DB security groups to authorize on this DB instance. Changing

this parameter does not result in an outage and the change is asynchronously applied as soon as possible.

Constraints:

• Must be 1 to 255 alphanumeric characters
• First character must be a letter
• Cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens

Parameters:vpc_security_group_ids (list) –

A list of EC2 VPC security groups to authorize on this DB instance.

This change is asynchronously applied as soon as possible.

Constraints:

• Must be 1 to 255 alphanumeric characters
• First character must be a letter
• Cannot end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens

Parameters:apply_immediately (boolean) – Specifies whether or not the modifications in this request and any pending modifications are asynchronously applied as soon as possible, regardless of the PreferredMaintenanceWindow setting for the DB instance.

If this parameter is passed as False, changes to the DB instance are

applied on the next call to RebootDBInstance, the next maintenance reboot, or the next failure reboot, whichever occurs first. See each parameter to determine when a change is applied.

Default: False

Parameters:master_user_password (string) –

The new password for the DB instance master user. Can be any printable

ASCII character except “/”, ‘”’, or “@”.

Changing this parameter does not result in an outage and the change is

asynchronously applied as soon as possible. Between the time of the request and the completion of the request, the MasterUserPassword element exists in the PendingModifiedValues element of the operation response.

Default: Uses existing setting

Constraints: Must be 8 to 41 alphanumeric characters (MySQL), 8 to 30

alphanumeric characters (Oracle), or 8 to 128 alphanumeric characters (SQL Server).

Amazon RDS API actions never return the password, so this action

provides a way to regain access to a master instance user if the password is lost.

Parameters:db_parameter_group_name (string) – The name of the DB parameter group to apply to this DB instance. Changing this parameter does not result in an outage and the change is applied during the next maintenance window unless the ApplyImmediately parameter is set to True for this request.

Default: Uses existing setting

Constraints: The DB parameter group must be in the same DB parameter

group family as this DB instance.

Parameters:backup_retention_period (integer) –

The number of days to retain automated backups. Setting this parameter

to a positive number enables backups. Setting this parameter to 0 disables automated backups.

Changing this parameter can result in an outage if you change from 0 to

a non-zero value or from a non-zero value to 0. These changes are applied during the next maintenance window unless the ApplyImmediately parameter is set to True for this request. If you change the parameter from one non-zero value to another non- zero value, the change is asynchronously applied as soon as possible.

Default: Uses existing setting

Constraints:

• Must be a value from 0 to 8

• Cannot be set to 0 if the DB instance is a master instance with read

  replicas or if the DB instance is a read replica

Parameters:preferred_backup_window (string) –

The daily time range during which automated backups are created if

automated backups are enabled, as determined by the BackupRetentionPeriod. Changing this parameter does not result in an outage and the change is asynchronously applied as soon as possible.

Constraints:

• Must be in the format hh24:mi-hh24:mi
• Times should be Universal Time Coordinated (UTC)
• Must not conflict with the preferred maintenance window
• Must be at least 30 minutes

Parameters:preferred_maintenance_window (string) – The weekly time range (in UTC) during which system maintenance can occur, which may result in an outage. Changing this parameter does not result in an outage, except in the following situation, and the change is asynchronously applied as soon as possible. If there are pending actions that cause a reboot, and the maintenance window is changed to include the current time, then changing this parameter will cause a reboot of the DB instance. If moving this window to the current time, there must be at least 30 minutes between the current time and end of the window to ensure pending changes are applied.

Default: Uses existing setting

Format: ddd:hh24:mi-ddd:hh24:mi

Valid Days: Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun

Constraints: Must be at least 30 minutes

Parameters:multi_az (boolean) – Specifies if the DB instance is a Multi-AZ deployment. Changing this parameter does not result in an outage and the change is applied during the next maintenance window unless the ApplyImmediately parameter is set to True for this request.

Constraints: Cannot be specified if the DB instance is a read replica.

Parameters:engine_version (string) – The version number of the database engine to upgrade to. Changing this parameter results in an outage and the change is applied during the next maintenance window unless the ApplyImmediately parameter is set to True for this request.

For major version upgrades, if a non-default DB parameter group is

currently in use, a new DB parameter group in the DB parameter group family for the new engine version must be specified. The new DB parameter group can be the default for that DB parameter group family.

Example: 5.1.42

Parameters:allow_major_version_upgrade (boolean) – Indicates that major version upgrades are allowed. Changing this parameter does not result in an outage and the change is asynchronously applied as soon as possible.

Constraints: This parameter must be set to true when specifying a value

for the EngineVersion parameter that is a different major version than the DB instance’s current version.

Parameters:

• auto_minor_version_upgrade (boolean) – Indicates that minor version upgrades will be applied automatically to the DB instance during the maintenance window. Changing this parameter does not result in an outage except in the following case and the change is asynchronously applied as soon as possible. An outage will result if this parameter is set to True during the maintenance window, and a newer minor version is available, and RDS has enabled auto patching for that engine version.
• iops (integer) – The new Provisioned IOPS (I/O operations per second) value for the RDS instance. Changing this parameter does not result in an outage and the change is applied during the next maintenance window unless the ApplyImmediately parameter is set to True for this request.

Default: Uses existing setting

Constraints: Value supplied must be at least 10% greater than the

current value. Values that are not at least 10% greater than the existing value are rounded up so that they are 10% greater than the current value.

Type: Integer

If you choose to migrate your DB instance from using standard storage

to using Provisioned IOPS, or from using Provisioned IOPS to using standard storage, the process can take time. The duration of the migration depends on several factors such as database load, storage size, storage type (standard or Provisioned IOPS), amount of IOPS provisioned (if any), and the number of prior scale storage operations. Typical migration times are under 24 hours, but the process can take up to several days in some cases. During the migration, the DB instance will be available for use, but may experience performance degradation. While the migration takes place, nightly backups for the instance will be suspended. No other Amazon RDS operations can take place for the instance, including modifying the instance, rebooting the instance, deleting the instance, creating a read replica for the instance, and creating a DB snapshot of the instance.

Parameters:option_group_name (string) – Indicates that the DB instance should be associated with the specified option group. Changing this parameter does not result in an outage except in the following case and the change is applied during the next maintenance window unless the ApplyImmediately parameter is set to True for this request. If the parameter change results in an option group that enables OEM, this change can cause a brief (sub-second) period during which new connections are rejected but existing connections are not interrupted.

Permanent options, such as the TDE option for Oracle Advanced Security

TDE, cannot be removed from an option group, and that option group cannot be removed from a DB instance once it is associated with a DB instance

Parameters:new_db_instance_identifier (string) –

reboot_db_instance(db_instance_identifier, force_failover=None)

Rebooting a DB instance restarts the database engine service. A reboot also applies to the DB instance any modifications to the associated DB parameter group that were pending. Rebooting a DB instance results in a momentary outage of the instance, during which the DB instance status is set to rebooting. If the RDS instance is configured for MultiAZ, it is possible that the reboot will be conducted through a failover. An Amazon RDS event is created when the reboot is completed.

If your DB instance is deployed in multiple Availability Zones, you can force a failover from one AZ to the other during the reboot. You might force a failover to test the availability of your DB instance deployment or to restore operations to the original AZ after a failover occurs.

The time required to reboot is a function of the specific database engine’s crash recovery process. To improve the reboot time, we recommend that you reduce database activities as much as possible during the reboot process to reduce rollback activity for in-transit transactions.

Parameters:db_instance_identifier (string) –

The DB instance identifier. This parameter is stored as a lowercase

string.

Constraints:

• Must contain from 1 to 63 alphanumeric characters or hyphens
• First character must be a letter
