execute-statement¶

Description¶

Runs a SQL statement against a database.

Warning

If a call isn’t part of a transaction because it doesn’t include the transactionID parameter, changes that result from the call are committed automatically.

The response size limit is 1 MB. If the call returns more than 1 MB of response data, the call is terminated.

Synopsis¶

  execute-statement
[--continue-after-timeout | --no-continue-after-timeout]
[--database <value>]
[--include-result-metadata | --no-include-result-metadata]
[--parameters <value>]
--resource-arn <value>
[--result-set-options <value>]
[--schema <value>]
--secret-arn <value>
--sql <value>
[--transaction-id <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--continue-after-timeout | --no-continue-after-timeout (boolean)

A value that indicates whether to continue running the statement after the call times out. By default, the statement stops running when the call times out.

Warning

For DDL statements, we recommend continuing to run the statement after the call times out. When a DDL statement terminates before it is finished running, it can result in errors and possibly corrupted data structures.

--database (string)

The name of the database.

--include-result-metadata | --no-include-result-metadata (boolean)

A value that indicates whether to include metadata in the results.

--parameters (list)

The parameters for the SQL statement.

Note

Array parameters are not supported.

(structure)

A parameter used in a SQL statement.

name -> (string)

The name of the parameter.

typeHint -> (string)

A hint that specifies the correct object type for data type mapping. Possible values are as follows:

DATE - The corresponding String parameter value is sent as an object of DATE type to the database. The accepted format is YYYY-MM-DD .

DECIMAL - The corresponding String parameter value is sent as an object of DECIMAL type to the database.

JSON - The corresponding String parameter value is sent as an object of JSON type to the database.

TIME - The corresponding String parameter value is sent as an object of TIME type to the database. The accepted format is HH:MM:SS[.FFF] .

TIMESTAMP - The corresponding String parameter value is sent as an object of TIMESTAMP type to the database. The accepted format is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS[.FFF] .

UUID - The corresponding String parameter value is sent as an object of UUID type to the database.

    }
  }
  ...
]

--resource-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Aurora Serverless DB cluster.

--result-set-options (structure)

Options that control how the result set is returned.

decimalReturnType -> (string)

A value that indicates how a field of DECIMAL type is represented in the response. The value of STRING , the default, specifies that it is converted to a String value. The value of DOUBLE_OR_LONG specifies that it is converted to a Long value if its scale is 0, or to a Double value otherwise.

Warning

Conversion to Double or Long can result in roundoff errors due to precision loss. We recommend converting to String, especially when working with currency values.

Shorthand Syntax:

decimalReturnType=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "decimalReturnType": "STRING"|"DOUBLE_OR_LONG"
}

--schema (string)

The name of the database schema.

Note

Currently, the schema parameter isn’t supported.

--secret-arn (string)

The name or ARN of the secret that enables access to the DB cluster.

--sql (string)

The SQL statement to run.

--transaction-id (string)

The identifier of a transaction that was started by using the BeginTransaction operation. Specify the transaction ID of the transaction that you want to include the SQL statement in.

If the SQL statement is not part of a transaction, don’t set this parameter.

--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.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Example 1: To execute a SQL statement that is part of a transaction

The following execute-statement example runs a SQL statement that is part of a transaction.

aws rds-data execute-statement \
    --resource-arn "arn:aws:rds:us-west-2:123456789012:cluster:mydbcluster" \
    --database "mydb" \
    --secret-arn "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-west-2:123456789012:secret:mysecret" \
    --sql "update mytable set quantity=5 where id=201" \
    --transaction-id "ABC1234567890xyz"

Output:

{
    "numberOfRecordsUpdated": 1
}

Example 2: To execute a SQL statement with parameters

The following execute-statement example runs a SQL statement with parameters.

aws rds-data execute-statement \
    --resource-arn "arn:aws:rds:us-east-1:123456789012:cluster:mydbcluster" \
    --database "mydb" \
    --secret-arn "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:123456789012:secret:mysecret" \
    --sql "insert into mytable values (:id, :val)" \
    --parameters "[{\"name\": \"id\", \"value\": {\"longValue\": 1}},{\"name\": \"val\", \"value\": {\"stringValue\": \"value1\"}}]"

Output:

{
    "numberOfRecordsUpdated": 1
}
