Deleting a CEV for RDS Custom for SQL Server

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

Before deleting a CEV, make sure it isn't being used 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

To delete a CEV

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://eusc-de-east-1.console.amazonaws-eusc.eu/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.

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

The following options are required:

  • --engine custom-sqlserver-ee

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

The following example deletes a CEV named 15.00.4249.2.my_cevtest.

Example

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

aws rds delete-custom-db-engine-version \
    --engine custom-sqlserver-ee \
    --engine-version 15.00.4249.2.my_cevtest

For Windows:

aws rds delete-custom-db-engine-version ^
    --engine custom-sqlserver-ee ^
    --engine-version 15.00.4249.2.my_cevtest
