Can I Use SQL Commands to Modify Global Parameters of My RDS for MySQL Instance?

RDS for MySQL does not support changing global parameters by running commands, like set global parameter-name=parameter-value; on databases.

You can modify parameters on the console. The procedure is as follows:

1. Log in to the RDS console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
3. On the Instances page, click the target DB instance.
4. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Parameters.
5. Change the value of the target parameter and click Save.
6. In the displayed dialog box, click OK.
