begin-transaction¶
Description¶
Starts a SQL transaction.
<important> <p>A transaction can run for a maximum of 24 hours. A transaction is terminated and rolled back automatically after 24 hours.</p> <p>A transaction times out if no calls use its transaction ID in three minutes. If a transaction times out before it's committed, it's rolled back automatically.</p> <p>DDL statements inside a transaction cause an implicit commit. We recommend that you run each DDL statement in a separate <code>ExecuteStatement</code> call with <code>continueAfterTimeout</code> enabled.</p> </important>

Synopsis¶
begin-transaction
[--database <value>]
--resource-arn <value>
[--schema <value>]
--secret-arn <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--cli-auto-prompt <value>]
Options¶
--database (string)
The name of the database.
--resource-arn (string)
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Aurora Serverless DB cluster.
--schema (string)
The name of the database schema.
--secret-arn (string)
The name or ARN of the secret that enables access to the DB cluster.
--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)
Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
Examples¶
To start a SQL transaction
The following begin-transaction example starts a SQL transaction.
aws rds-data begin-transaction \
--resource-arn "arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster:mydbcluster" \
--database "mydb" \
--secret-arn "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:123456789012:secret:mysecret"
Output:
{
"transactionId": "ABC1234567890xyz"
}
