The following limitations apply to the DB parameter group name:
-
The name must be 1 to 255 letters, numbers, or hyphens.
Default parameter group names can include a period, such as
default.mysql8.0. However, custom parameter group names can't include a period. -
The first character must be a letter.
-
The name can't end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Parameter groups.

To create a DB parameter group, use the AWS CLI create-db-parameter-group command. The following
example creates a DB parameter group named mydbparametergroup
for MySQL version 8.0 with a description of "My new parameter
group."
Include the following required parameters:
-
--db-parameter-group-name -
--db-parameter-group-family -
--description
To list all of the available parameter group families, use the following command:
aws rds describe-db-engine-versions --query "DBEngineVersions[].DBParameterGroupFamily"
Note
The output contains duplicates.
Example
For Linux, macOS, or Unix:
aws rds create-db-parameter-group \ --db-parameter-group-namemydbparametergroup\ --db-parameter-group-familyMySQL8.0\ --description"My new parameter group"
For Windows:
aws rds create-db-parameter-group ^ --db-parameter-group-namemydbparametergroup^ --db-parameter-group-familyMySQL8.0^ --description"My new parameter group"
This command produces output similar to the following:
DBPARAMETERGROUP mydbparametergroup mysql8.0 My new parameter group
To create a DB parameter group, use the RDS API CreateDBParameterGroup operation.
