Parameter description

**Table 1** Parameter description
Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
project_id	String	Yes	Specifies the project ID of a tenant in a region. For details about how to obtain the project ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.
id	String	No	Specifies the DB instance ID. The asterisk () is reserved for the system. If the instance ID starts with , it indicates that fuzzy match is performed based on the value following * Otherwise, the exact match is performed based on the instance ID. The value cannot contain only asterisks (*).
name	String	No	Specifies the DB instance name. The asterisk () is reserved for the system. If the instance name starts with , it indicates that fuzzy match is performed based on the value following * Otherwise, the exact match is performed based on the instance name. The value cannot contain only asterisks (*).
type	String	No	Specifies the instance type-based query. The value is Single, Ha, Replica, or Enterprise, which corresponds to single instance, primary/standby instance, read replica, and distributed instance (enterprise), respectively.
datastore_type	String	No	Specifies the database type. Its value can be any of the following and is case-sensitive: MySQL PostgreSQL
vpc_id	String	No	Specifies the VPC ID. To obtain this parameter value, use either of the following methods: Method 1: Log in to VPC console and view the VPC ID in the VPC details. Method 2: See the "Querying VPCs" section in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.
subnet_id	String	No	Specifies the subnet ID. To obtain this parameter value, use either of the following methods: Method 1: Log in to the VPC console and click the target subnet on the Subnets page. You can view the network ID on the displayed page. Method 2: See the "Querying Subnets" section in the Virtual Private Cloud API Reference.
offset	Integer	No	Specifies the index position. If offset is set to N, the resource query starts from the N+1 piece of data. The value is 0 by default, indicating that the query starts from the first piece of data. The value cannot be a negative number.
limit	Integer	No	Specifies the number of records to be queried. The default value is 100. The value cannot be a negative number. The minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 100.
tags	Array of objects	No	Specifies queries based on the instance tag keys and values. {key} indicates the tag key. It must be unique and cannot be empty. {value} indicates the tag value, which can be left empty. To query instances with multiple tag keys and values, separate key-value pairs with commas (,). A maximum of 10 key-value pairs are supported. For details, see Table 2.

**Table 2** tags field data structure description
Name	Type	Mandatory	Description
key	String	Yes	Tag key. It must consist of 1 to 128 Unicode characters, including letters, digits, spaces, and special characters _.:=+-@. However, it cannot start or end with a space, or start with _sys_.
value	String	No	Tag value. It can be left blank or contain a maximum of 255 Unicode characters, including letters, digits, spaces, and special characters _.:=+-@
