filters class-attribute instance-attribute
filters: list[Filter] | None = ...

A filter that specifies one or more DB engine versions to describe.

Supported filters:

  • db-parameter-group-family - Accepts parameter groups family names. The results list only includes information about the DB engine versions for these parameter group families.

  • engine - Accepts engine names. The results list only includes information about the DB engine versions for these engines.

  • engine-mode - Accepts DB engine modes. The results list only includes information about the DB engine versions for these engine modes. Valid DB engine modes are the following:

  • global

  • multimaster

  • parallelquery

  • provisioned

  • serverless

  • engine-version - Accepts engine versions. The results list only includes information about the DB engine versions for these engine versions.

  • status - Accepts engine version statuses. The results list only includes information about the DB engine versions for these statuses. Valid statuses are the following:

  • available

  • deprecated

include_all class-attribute instance-attribute
include_all: bool | None = ...

Specifies whether to also list the engine versions that aren't available. The default is to list only available engine versions.

list_supported_character_sets class-attribute instance-attribute
list_supported_character_sets: bool | None = ...

Specifies whether to list the supported character sets for each engine version.

If this parameter is enabled and the requested engine supports the CharacterSetName parameter for CreateDBInstance, the response includes a list of supported character sets for each engine version.

For RDS Custom, the default is not to list supported character sets. If you enable this parameter, RDS Custom returns no results.

list_supported_timezones class-attribute instance-attribute
list_supported_timezones: bool | None = ...

Specifies whether to list the supported time zones for each engine version.

If this parameter is enabled and the requested engine supports the TimeZone parameter for CreateDBInstance, the response includes a list of supported time zones for each engine version.

For RDS Custom, the default is not to list supported time zones. If you enable this parameter, RDS Custom returns no results.

marker class-attribute instance-attribute
marker: str | None = ...

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.

max_records class-attribute instance-attribute
max_records: int | None = ...

Default: 100

Constraints: Minimum 20, maximum 100.

Output

DescribeDBEngineVersionsOutput dataclass

Bases: _SerdeShape

Contains the result of a successful invocation of the DescribeDBEngineVersions action.

Attributes

db_engine_versions class-attribute instance-attribute
db_engine_versions: list[DBEngineVersion] | None = ...

A list of DBEngineVersion elements.

marker class-attribute instance-attribute
marker: str | None = ...

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.

response_metadata class-attribute instance-attribute
response_metadata: ResponseMetadata = ...

Metadata about the response that produced this output. Use this to recover the request identifiers a service's support team needs in order to investigate a call. Members of the metadata are individually optional.
