User guide

You can create, modify, and delete parameter groups by using the Amazon Redshift console. All of the

tasks start from the parameter group list.

In the parameter group list below, there are two parameter groups, the default parameter group and a

custom parameter group called parametergroup1. Because parametergroup1 is selected (highlighted),

you can edit or delete it.

You cannot delete or modify the default parameter group. If you want a parameter group that has different

parameter values, you must create a new parameter group and modify it. The default parameter group

is not created until you have launched a cluster.

Each cluster must be associated with one parameter group.You can make this association when you

create a cluster, or you can modify an existing cluster to use a different parameter group. For more

information about associating a parameter group with a cluster, see To modify a cluster (p. 21). When

you change the settings in a parameter group that is associated with a cluster, the change is not applied

until the cluster is rebooted.

Creating a Parameter Group

You can create a parameter group if you want to set parameter values that are different from the default

parameter group for your cluster version.

To create a parameter group

1. Sign into the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon Redshift console at https://

console.aws.amazon.com/redshift.

2. In the navigation pane, click Parameter Groups.

3. Click Create Cluster Parameter Group.

4. In the Create Cluster Parameter Group dialog box, specify a parameter group family, a parameter

group name, and a parameter group description. When the settings are as you want them, click Yes,

Create.
