/AWS1/CL_NEP=>DELETEDBINSTANCE()

About DeleteDBInstance

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

If you request a final DB snapshot the status of the Amazon Neptune DB instance is deleting until the DB snapshot is created. The API action DescribeDBInstance is used to monitor the status of this operation. The action can't be canceled or reverted once submitted.

Note that when a DB instance is in a failure state and has a status of failed, incompatible-restore, or incompatible-network, you can only delete it when the SkipFinalSnapshot parameter is set to true.

You can't delete a DB instance if it is the only instance in the DB cluster, or if it has deletion protection enabled.

Method Signature

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

IV_DBINSTANCEIDENTIFIER TYPE /AWS1/NEPSTRING /AWS1/NEPSTRING

The DB instance identifier for the DB instance to be deleted. This parameter isn't case-sensitive.

Constraints:

  • Must match the name of an existing DB instance.

Optional arguments:

IV_SKIPFINALSNAPSHOT TYPE /AWS1/NEPBOOLEAN /AWS1/NEPBOOLEAN

Determines whether a final DB snapshot is created before the DB instance is deleted. If true is specified, no DBSnapshot is created. If false is specified, a DB snapshot is created before the DB instance is deleted.

Note that when a DB instance is in a failure state and has a status of 'failed', 'incompatible-restore', or 'incompatible-network', it can only be deleted when the SkipFinalSnapshot parameter is set to "true".

Specify true when deleting a Read Replica.

The FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier parameter must be specified if SkipFinalSnapshot is false.

Default: false

IV_FINALDBSNAPSHOTIDENTIFIER TYPE /AWS1/NEPSTRING /AWS1/NEPSTRING

The DBSnapshotIdentifier of the new DBSnapshot created when SkipFinalSnapshot is set to false.

Specifying this parameter and also setting the SkipFinalShapshot parameter to true results in an error.
