How to modify the values of an Amazon RDS DB parameter group?

Below are some of the common issues while modifying the value of a DB parameter group:

• Firstly, if you use commands such as SET, you might receive an error.

Because these commands can’t used to update RDS DB instance configurations.

• Secondly, if you can’t update the DB instance configuration.

It might because you can’t change the values of a default RDS DB parameter group.

• If you changed the parameter values but the changes aren’t in effect.

It might be because not all modifications are applied immediately.

• If you can’t modify DB parameters under any circumstances.

It might be because the parameter’s property value for Is Modifiable is false.
