Table conventions
The tables in the feature sections use these patterns to specify version numbers and level of availability:
-
Version x.y – The specific version alone is available.
-
Version x.y and higher – The specified version and all higher minor versions of its major version are supported. For example, "version 10.11 and higher" means that versions 10.11, 10.11.1, and 10.12 are available.
— – The feature isn't currently available for the selected RDS DB engine or in the specified Amazon Web Services Region.
