Delete Db Instance

rds_delete_db_instance R Documentation

Deletes a previously provisioned DB instance

Description

Deletes a previously provisioned DB instance. When you delete a DB instance, all automated backups for that instance are deleted and can't be recovered. However, manual DB snapshots of the DB instance aren't deleted.

If you request a final DB snapshot, the status of the Amazon RDS DB instance is deleting until the DB snapshot is created. This operation can't be canceled or reverted after it begins. To monitor the status of this operation, use DescribeDBInstance.

When a DB instance is in a failure state and has a status of failed, incompatible-restore, or incompatible-network, you can only delete it when you skip creation of the final snapshot with the SkipFinalSnapshot parameter.

If the specified DB instance is part of an Amazon Aurora DB cluster, you can't delete the DB instance if both of the following conditions are true:

  • The DB cluster is a read replica of another Amazon Aurora DB cluster.

  • The DB instance is the only instance in the DB cluster.

To delete a DB instance in this case, first use the promote_read_replica_db_cluster operation to promote the DB cluster so that it's no longer a read replica. After the promotion completes, use the delete_db_instance operation to delete the final instance in the DB cluster.

For RDS Custom DB instances, deleting the DB instance permanently deletes the EC2 instance and the associated EBS volumes. Make sure that you don't terminate or delete these resources before you delete the DB instance. Otherwise, deleting the DB instance and creation of the final snapshot might fail.

Usage

rds_delete_db_instance(DBInstanceIdentifier, SkipFinalSnapshot,
  FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier, DeleteAutomatedBackups)

Arguments

DBInstanceIdentifier

[required] The DB instance identifier for the DB instance to be deleted. This parameter isn't case-sensitive.

Constraints:

  • Must match the name of an existing DB instance.

SkipFinalSnapshot

Specifies whether to skip the creation of a final DB snapshot before deleting the instance. If you enable this parameter, RDS doesn't create a DB snapshot. If you don't enable this parameter, RDS creates a DB snapshot before the DB instance is deleted. By default, skip isn't enabled, and the DB snapshot is created.

If you don't enable this parameter, you must specify the FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier parameter.

When a DB instance is in a failure state and has a status of failed, incompatible-restore, or incompatible-network, RDS can delete the instance only if you enable this parameter.

If you delete a read replica or an RDS Custom instance, you must enable this setting.

This setting is required for RDS Custom.

FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier

The DBSnapshotIdentifier of the new DBSnapshot created when the SkipFinalSnapshot parameter is disabled.

If you enable this parameter and also enable SkipFinalShapshot, the command results in an error.

This setting doesn't apply to RDS Custom.

Constraints:

  • Must be 1 to 255 letters or numbers.

  • First character must be a letter.

  • Can't end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens.

  • Can't be specified when deleting a read replica.

DeleteAutomatedBackups

Specifies whether to remove automated backups immediately after the DB instance is deleted. This parameter isn't case-sensitive. The default is to remove automated backups immediately after the DB instance is deleted.
