DynamoDBMapper Query and scan operations - Amazon DynamoDB

DynamoDBMapper Query and scan operations

The Java example in this section defines the following classes and maps them to the tables in Amazon DynamoDB. For more information about creating sample tables, see Creating tables and loading data for code examples in DynamoDB.

  • The Book class maps to ProductCatalog table

  • The Forum, Thread, and Reply classes map to tables of the same name.

The example then runs the following query and scan operations using a DynamoDBMapper instance.

  • Get a book by Id.

    The ProductCatalog table has Id as its primary key. It does not have a sort key as part of its primary key. Therefore, you cannot query the table. You can get an item using its Id value.

  • Run the following queries against the Reply table.

    The Reply table's primary key is composed of Id and ReplyDateTime attributes. ReplyDateTime is a sort key. Therefore, you can query this table.

    • Find replies to a forum thread posted in the last 15 days.

    • Find replies to a forum thread posted in a specific date range.

  • Scan the ProductCatalog table to find books whose price is less than a specified value.

    For performance reasons, you should use the query operation instead of the scan operation. However, there are times you might need to scan a table. Suppose that there was a data entry error and one of the book prices was set to less than 0. This example scans the ProductCategory table to find book items (ProductCategory is book) whose price is less than 0.

  • Perform a parallel scan of the ProductCatalog table to find bicycles of a specific type.

Note

This code example assumes that you have already loaded data into DynamoDB for your account by following the instructions in the Creating tables and loading data for code examples in DynamoDB section.
