Unable to Create RDS Parameter Group

Question

In the Console, Create Parameter Group, I am creating an new Parameter group Using Engine Type: Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition for Custom RDS, and Parameter Group Family: custom-sqlserver-se-15.0, when I hit Create, I get the following Error message:

"We're sorry, your request to create DB parameter group rds-sql-clr-integration has failed.
You can't create or assign a custom parameter group for engine custom-sqlserver-se."

I see the same error also for Parameter Group Family: custom-sqlserver-se-16.0, and also for SQL Server EE and SQL Server Web edition.

I am attempting to enable CLR Integration with the custom parameter group. Perhaps there is a different way?

Hello.

"Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition for Custom RDS" is for an RDS custom instance.  
Since RDS custom instances cannot use anything other than the default parameter group, they probably cannot be created.  
The limitations are listed in the following documents.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/custom-reqs-limits-MS.html#custom-reqs-limits.limitsMS  
> Specify your own DB parameter group, option group, or character set.

Therefore, you need to select "Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition" as the database engine.
