UpdateRelationalDatabase

Allows the update of one or more attributes of a database in Amazon Lightsail.

Updates are applied immediately, or in cases where the updates could result in an outage, are applied during the database's predefined maintenance window.

The update relational database operation supports tag-based access control via resource tags applied to the resource identified by relationalDatabaseName. For more information, see the Amazon Lightsail Developer Guide.
