AWS Amazon DynamoDB CLI Commands

This operation allows you to perform batch reads or writes on data stored in DynamoDB, using PartiQL. Each read statement in a BatchExecuteStatement must specify an equality condition on all key attributes. This enforces that each SELECT statement in a batch returns at most a single item. For more i

The BatchGetItem operation returns the attributes of one or more items from one or more tables. You identify requested items by primary key. A single operation can retrieve up to 16 MB of data, which can contain as many as 100 items. BatchGetItem returns a partial result if the response size limit i

The BatchWriteItem operation puts or deletes multiple items in one or more tables. A single call to BatchWriteItem can transmit up to 16MB of data over the network, consisting of up to 25 item put or delete operations. While individual items can be up to 400 KB once stored, it's important to note th

Creates a backup for an existing table. Each time you create an on-demand backup, the entire table data is backed up. There is no limit to the number of on-demand backups that can be taken. When you create an on-demand backup, a time marker of the request is cataloged, and the backup is created a

Creates a global table from an existing table. A global table creates a replication relationship between two or more DynamoDB tables with the same table name in the provided Regions. This documentation is for version 2017.11.29 (Legacy) of global tables, which should be avoided for new global tabl

The CreateTable operation adds a new table to your account. In an Amazon Web Services account, table names must be unique within each Region. That is, you can have two tables with same name if you create the tables in different Regions. CreateTable is an asynchronous operation. Upon receiving a Cre

Deletes an existing backup of a table. You can call DeleteBackup at a maximum rate of 10 times per second.

Deletes a single item in a table by primary key. You can perform a conditional delete operation that deletes the item if it exists, or if it has an expected attribute value. In addition to deleting an item, you can also return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the ReturnValues

Deletes the resource-based policy attached to the resource, which can be a table or stream. DeleteResourcePolicy is an idempotent operation; running it multiple times on the same resource doesn't result in an error response, unless you specify an ExpectedRevisionId, which will then return a PolicyN

The DeleteTable operation deletes a table and all of its items. After a DeleteTable request, the specified table is in the DELETING state until DynamoDB completes the deletion. If the table is in the ACTIVE state, you can delete it. If a table is in CREATING or UPDATING states, then DynamoDB returns

Gives a description of the Time to Live (TTL) status on the specified table.

Stops replication from the DynamoDB table to the Kinesis data stream. This is done without deleting either of the resources.

Starts table data replication to the specified Kinesis data stream at a timestamp chosen during the enable workflow. If this operation doesn't return results immediately, use DescribeKinesisStreamingDestination to check if streaming to the Kinesis data stream is ACTIVE.

This operation allows you to perform reads and singleton writes on data stored in DynamoDB, using PartiQL. For PartiQL reads (SELECT statement), if the total number of processed items exceeds the maximum dataset size limit of 1 MB, the read stops and results are returned to the user as a LastEvaluat

This operation allows you to perform transactional reads or writes on data stored in DynamoDB, using PartiQL. The entire transaction must consist of either read statements or write statements, you cannot mix both in one transaction. The EXISTS function is an exception and can be used to check the c

Exports table data to an S3 bucket. The table must have point in time recovery enabled, and you can export data from any time within the point in time recovery window.

The GetItem operation returns a set of attributes for the item with the given primary key. If there is no matching item, GetItem does not return any data and there will be no Item element in the response. GetItem provides an eventually consistent read by default. If your application requires a stro
