Use ExecuteStatement with an AWS SDK or CLI

Example 1: To execute a SQL statement that is part of a transaction

The following execute-statement example runs a SQL statement that is part of a transaction.

aws rds-data execute-statement \
    --resource-arn "arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster:mydbcluster" \
    --database "mydb" \
    --secret-arn "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:123456789012:secret:mysecret" \
    --sql "update mytable set quantity=5 where id=201" \
    --transaction-id "ABC1234567890xyz"

Output:

{
    "numberOfRecordsUpdated": 1
}

Example 2: To execute a SQL statement with parameters

The following execute-statement example runs a SQL statement with parameters.

aws rds-data execute-statement \
    --resource-arn "arn:aws:rds:us-east-1:123456789012:cluster:mydbcluster" \
    --database "mydb" \
    --secret-arn "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:123456789012:secret:mysecret" \
    --sql "insert into mytable values (:id, :val)" \
    --parameters "[{\"name\": \"id\", \"value\": {\"longValue\": 1}},{\"name\": \"val\", \"value\": {\"stringValue\": \"value1\"}}]"

Output:

{
    "numberOfRecordsUpdated": 1
}
