AWS Insight: RDS Parameter Groups - what it is and why
Hello! 
Today I will talk about parameter groups AWS RDS . As you know, RDS provides us with a simple entry point to the database. Neither the disk nor the OS itself and the database settings, we have no access. We are also limited to the rights of some superuser, but this is not root anyway.
RDS Parameter Groups allow you to create the desired configuration of your database. Today, I will show you by example how to enable the ability to create stored procedures in RDS under MySQL. When creating a server, a default group parameter is created. You can also see the list of available parameters in it:
As a matter of fact, these parameters can be changed, thereby setting up and adjusting the config of your database.

Let's go over the example of creating and configuring a group parameter:
1. Create the extended-mysql group parameter
2. Change the parameter log_bin_trust_function_creators
That's all. This group option will allow you to create functions that will be stored in RDS.
3. Enter the server in the parameter group
4. Restart the server for the settings to be applied.
Do you use the group parameter for RDS? What kind of rake encountered when working with them? It is very interesting to hear something from someone else's experience!

Let's go over the example of creating and configuring a group parameter:
1. Create the extended-mysql group parameter
$ rds-create-db-parameter-group extended-mysql -f mysql5.1 -d "allows to store functions" 2. Change the parameter log_bin_trust_function_creators
$ rds-modify-db-parameter-group extended-mysql --parameters="name=log_bin_trust_function_creators, value=on, method=immediate” That's all. This group option will allow you to create functions that will be stored in RDS.
3. Enter the server in the parameter group
$ rds-modify-db-instance myrdsserver --db-parameter-group-name=extended-mysql 4. Restart the server for the settings to be applied.
$ rds-reboot-db-instance myrdsserver Do you use the group parameter for RDS? What kind of rake encountered when working with them? It is very interesting to hear something from someone else's experience!
