End of support notice: On March 31, 2027, Amazon will end support for Amazon RDS Custom for Oracle. After March 31, 2027, you will no longer be able to access the RDS Custom for Oracle console or RDS Custom for Oracle resources. For more information, see RDS Custom for Oracle end of support.

You can delete a CEV using the Amazon Web Services Management Console or the Amazon 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

To delete a CEV

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/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 Amazon 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.

Example

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
