rds_delete_db_cluster function

The DeleteDBCluster action deletes a previously provisioned DB cluster

The DeleteDBCluster action deletes a previously provisioned DB cluster. When you delete a DB cluster, all automated backups for that DB cluster are deleted and can't be recovered. Manual DB cluster snapshots of the specified DB cluster are not deleted.

See https://www.paws-r-sdk.com/docs/rds_delete_db_cluster/ for full documentation.

rds_delete_db_cluster(
  DBClusterIdentifier,
  SkipFinalSnapshot = NULL,
  FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier = NULL,
  DeleteAutomatedBackups = NULL
)

Arguments

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

  Constraints:

  • Must match an existing DBClusterIdentifier.

• SkipFinalSnapshot: Specifies whether to skip the creation of a final DB cluster snapshot before RDS deletes the DB cluster. If you set this value to true, RDS doesn't create a final DB cluster snapshot. If you set this value to false or don't specify it, RDS creates a DB cluster snapshot before it deletes the DB cluster. By default, this parameter is disabled, so RDS creates a final DB cluster snapshot.

  If SkipFinalSnapshot is disabled, you must specify a value for the FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier parameter.

• FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier: The DB cluster snapshot identifier of the new DB cluster snapshot created when SkipFinalSnapshot is disabled.

  If you specify this parameter and also skip the creation of a final DB cluster snapshot with the SkipFinalShapshot parameter, the request results in an error.

  Constraints:

  • Must be 1 to 255 letters, numbers, or hyphens.
  • First character must be a letter
  • Can't end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens

• DeleteAutomatedBackups: Specifies whether to remove automated backups immediately after the DB cluster is deleted. This parameter isn't case-sensitive. The default is to remove automated backups immediately after the DB cluster is deleted, unless the Amazon Web Services Backup policy specifies a point-in-time restore rule.
