integer
The maximum number of records to include in the response. If more than the MaxRecords value is available, a pagination token called a marker is included in the response so that the following results can be retrieved.
Default: 100
Constraints: Minimum 20, maximum 100.
string
An optional pagination token provided by a previous request. If this parameter is specified, the response includes only records beyond the marker, up to the value specified by MaxRecords .
boolean
Indicates that only the default version of the specified engine or engine and major version combination is returned.
boolean
If this parameter is specified and the requested engine supports the CharacterSetName parameter for CreateDBInstance , the response includes a list of supported character sets for each engine version.
boolean
If this parameter is specified and the requested engine supports the TimeZone parameter for CreateDBInstance , the response includes a list of supported time zones for each engine version.
