Deleting a CEV

You can delete a CEV using the AWS Management Console or the AWS CLI. Typically, deletion takes a few minutes.

To delete a CEV, it can't be in use by any of the following:

• An RDS Custom DB instance

• A snapshot of an RDS Custom DB instance

• An automated backup of your RDS Custom DB instance

Console

To delete a CEV

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/.

2. In the navigation pane, choose Custom engine versions.

3. Choose a CEV whose description or status you want to delete.

4. For Actions, choose Delete.

   The Delete cev_name? dialog box appears.

5. Enter delete me, and then choose Delete.

   In the Custom engine versions page, the banner shows that your CEV is being deleted.

AWS CLI

To delete a CEV by using the AWS CLI, run the delete-custom-db-engine-version command.

The following options are required:

• --engine engine-type, where engine-type is custom-oracle-ee, custom-oracle-se2, custom-oracle-ee-cdb, or custom-oracle-se2-cdb

• --engine-version cev, where cev is the name of the custom engine version to be deleted

The following example deletes a CEV named 19.my_cev1.

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

aws rds delete-custom-db-engine-version \
    --engine custom-oracle-ee \
    --engine-version 19.my_cev1

For Windows:

aws rds delete-custom-db-engine-version ^
    --engine custom-oracle-ee ^
    --engine-version 19.my_cev1
