Amazon DynamoDB 2012-08-10
- Client: Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient
- Service ID: dynamodb
- Version: 2012-08-10
This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the Amazon DynamoDB (2012-08-10), and shows how to use the Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient object to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2012-08-10 API version of the service.
Operation Summary
Each of the following operations can be created from a client using
$client->getCommand('CommandName')
, where "CommandName" is the
name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that
encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.
You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods
available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */)
.
You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the
word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */)
.

Paginators
Paginators handle automatically iterating over paginated API results. Paginators are associated with specific API operations, and they accept the parameters that the corresponding API operation accepts. You can get a paginator from a client class using getPaginator($paginatorName, $operationParameters). This client supports the following paginators:
Waiters
Waiters allow you to poll a resource until it enters into a desired state. A waiter has a name used to describe what it does, and is associated with an API operation. When creating a waiter, you can provide the API operation parameters associated with the corresponding operation. Waiters can be accessed using the getWaiter($waiterName, $operationParameters) method of a client object. This client supports the following waiters:
Waiter name | API Operation | Delay | Max Attempts |
---|---|---|---|
TableExists | DescribeTable | 20 | 25 |
TableNotExists | DescribeTable | 20 | 25 |
Operations
BatchExecuteStatement
$result = $client->batchExecuteStatement
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->batchExecuteStatementAsync
([/* ... */]);
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 information, see Running batch operations with PartiQL for DynamoDB .
The entire batch must consist of either read statements or write statements, you cannot mix both in one batch.
A HTTP 200 response does not mean that all statements in the BatchExecuteStatement succeeded. Error details for individual statements can be found under the Error field of the BatchStatementResponse
for each statement.
Parameter Syntax
$result = $client->batchExecuteStatement([ 'ReturnConsumedCapacity' => 'INDEXES|TOTAL|NONE', 'Statements' => [ // REQUIRED [ 'ConsistentRead' => true || false, 'Parameters' => [ [ 'B' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, 'BOOL' => true || false, 'BS' => [<string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, ...], 'L' => [ [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'M' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'N' => '<string>', 'NS' => ['<string>', ...], 'NULL' => true || false, 'S' => '<string>', 'SS' => ['<string>', ...], ], // ... ], 'ReturnValuesOnConditionCheckFailure' => 'ALL_OLD|NONE', 'Statement' => '<string>', // REQUIRED ], // ... ], ]);

BatchGetItem
$result = $client->batchGetItem
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->batchGetItemAsync
([/* ... */]);
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 is exceeded, the table's provisioned throughput is exceeded, more than 1MB per partition is requested, or an internal processing failure occurs. If a partial result is returned, the operation returns a value for UnprocessedKeys
. You can use this value to retry the operation starting with the next item to get.
If you request more than 100 items, BatchGetItem
returns a ValidationException
with the message "Too many items requested for the BatchGetItem call."
For example, if you ask to retrieve 100 items, but each individual item is 300 KB in size, the system returns 52 items (so as not to exceed the 16 MB limit). It also returns an appropriate UnprocessedKeys
value so you can get the next page of results. If desired, your application can include its own logic to assemble the pages of results into one dataset.
If none of the items can be processed due to insufficient provisioned throughput on all of the tables in the request, then BatchGetItem
returns a ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
. If at least one of the items is successfully processed, then BatchGetItem
completes successfully, while returning the keys of the unread items in UnprocessedKeys
.
If DynamoDB returns any unprocessed items, you should retry the batch operation on those items. However, we strongly recommend that you use an exponential backoff algorithm. If you retry the batch operation immediately, the underlying read or write requests can still fail due to throttling on the individual tables. If you delay the batch operation using exponential backoff, the individual requests in the batch are much more likely to succeed.
For more information, see Batch Operations and Error Handling in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
By default, BatchGetItem
performs eventually consistent reads on every table in the request. If you want strongly consistent reads instead, you can set ConsistentRead
to true
for any or all tables.
In order to minimize response latency, BatchGetItem
may retrieve items in parallel.
When designing your application, keep in mind that DynamoDB does not return items in any particular order. To help parse the response by item, include the primary key values for the items in your request in the ProjectionExpression
parameter.
If a requested item does not exist, it is not returned in the result. Requests for nonexistent items consume the minimum read capacity units according to the type of read. For more information, see Working with Tables in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
Parameter Syntax
$result = $client->batchGetItem([ 'RequestItems' => [ // REQUIRED '<TableArn>' => [ 'AttributesToGet' => ['<string>', ...], 'ConsistentRead' => true || false, 'ExpressionAttributeNames' => ['<string>', ...], 'Keys' => [ // REQUIRED [ '<AttributeName>' => [ 'B' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, 'BOOL' => true || false, 'BS' => [<string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, ...], 'L' => [ [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'M' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'N' => '<string>', 'NS' => ['<string>', ...], 'NULL' => true || false, 'S' => '<string>', 'SS' => ['<string>', ...], ], // ... ], // ... ], 'ProjectionExpression' => '<string>', ], // ... ], 'ReturnConsumedCapacity' => 'INDEXES|TOTAL|NONE', ]);
Parameter Details
Members
- RequestItems
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (TableArn) to KeysAndAttributes structures
A map of one or more table names or table ARNs and, for each table, a map that describes one or more items to retrieve from that table. Each table name or ARN can be used only once per
BatchGetItem
request.Each element in the map of items to retrieve consists of the following:
-
ConsistentRead
- Iftrue
, a strongly consistent read is used; iffalse
(the default), an eventually consistent read is used. -
ExpressionAttributeNames
- One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in theProjectionExpression
parameter. The following are some use cases for usingExpressionAttributeNames
:-
To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.
-
To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.
-
To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.
Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:
-
Percentile
The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
{"#P":"Percentile"}
You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:
-
#P = :val
Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.
For more information about expression attribute names, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
-
-
Keys
- An array of primary key attribute values that define specific items in the table. For each primary key, you must provide all of the key attributes. For example, with a simple primary key, you only need to provide the partition key value. For a composite key, you must provide both the partition key value and the sort key value. -
ProjectionExpression
- A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the table. These attributes can include scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the expression must be separated by commas.If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes are returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they do not appear in the result.
For more information, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
-
AttributesToGet
- This is a legacy parameter. UseProjectionExpression
instead. For more information, see AttributesToGet in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ReturnConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: string
Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:
-
INDEXES
- The response includes the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation, together withConsumedCapacity
for each table and secondary index that was accessed.Note that some operations, such as
GetItem
andBatchGetItem
, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifyingINDEXES
will only returnConsumedCapacity
information for table(s). -
TOTAL
- The response includes only the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation. -
NONE
- NoConsumedCapacity
details are included in the response.

Errors
- ProvisionedThroughputExceededException:
Your request rate is too high. The Amazon Web Services SDKs for DynamoDB automatically retry requests that receive this exception. Your request is eventually successful, unless your retry queue is too large to finish. Reduce the frequency of requests and use exponential backoff. For more information, go to Error Retries and Exponential Backoff in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ResourceNotFoundException:
The operation tried to access a nonexistent table or index. The resource might not be specified correctly, or its status might not be
ACTIVE
.- RequestLimitExceeded:
Throughput exceeds the current throughput quota for your account. Please contact Amazon Web Services Support to request a quota increase.
- InternalServerError:
An error occurred on the server side.
Examples
Example 1: To retrieve multiple items from a table
This example reads multiple items from the Music table using a batch of three GetItem requests. Only the AlbumTitle attribute is returned.
$result = $client->batchGetItem([ 'RequestItems' => [ 'Music' => [ 'Keys' => [ [ 'Artist' => [ 'S' => 'No One You Know', ], 'SongTitle' => [ 'S' => 'Call Me Today', ], ], [ 'Artist' => [ 'S' => 'Acme Band', ], 'SongTitle' => [ 'S' => 'Happy Day', ], ], [ 'Artist' => [ 'S' => 'No One You Know', ], 'SongTitle' => [ 'S' => 'Scared of My Shadow', ], ], ], 'ProjectionExpression' => 'AlbumTitle', ], ], ]);
Result syntax:
[ 'Responses' => [ 'Music' => [ [ 'AlbumTitle' => [ 'S' => 'Somewhat Famous', ], ], [ 'AlbumTitle' => [ 'S' => 'Blue Sky Blues', ], ], [ 'AlbumTitle' => [ 'S' => 'Louder Than Ever', ], ], ], ], ]
BatchWriteItem
$result = $client->batchWriteItem
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->batchWriteItemAsync
([/* ... */]);
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 that an item's representation might be greater than 400KB while being sent in DynamoDB's JSON format for the API call. For more details on this distinction, see Naming Rules and Data Types.
BatchWriteItem
cannot update items. If you perform a BatchWriteItem
operation on an existing item, that item's values will be overwritten by the operation and it will appear like it was updated. To update items, we recommend you use the UpdateItem
action.
The individual PutItem
and DeleteItem
operations specified in BatchWriteItem
are atomic; however BatchWriteItem
as a whole is not. If any requested operations fail because the table's provisioned throughput is exceeded or an internal processing failure occurs, the failed operations are returned in the UnprocessedItems
response parameter. You can investigate and optionally resend the requests. Typically, you would call BatchWriteItem
in a loop. Each iteration would check for unprocessed items and submit a new BatchWriteItem
request with those unprocessed items until all items have been processed.
For tables and indexes with provisioned capacity, if none of the items can be processed due to insufficient provisioned throughput on all of the tables in the request, then BatchWriteItem
returns a ProvisionedThroughputExceededException
. For all tables and indexes, if none of the items can be processed due to other throttling scenarios (such as exceeding partition level limits), then BatchWriteItem
returns a ThrottlingException
.
If DynamoDB returns any unprocessed items, you should retry the batch operation on those items. However, we strongly recommend that you use an exponential backoff algorithm. If you retry the batch operation immediately, the underlying read or write requests can still fail due to throttling on the individual tables. If you delay the batch operation using exponential backoff, the individual requests in the batch are much more likely to succeed.
For more information, see Batch Operations and Error Handling in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
With BatchWriteItem
, you can efficiently write or delete large amounts of data, such as from Amazon EMR, or copy data from another database into DynamoDB. In order to improve performance with these large-scale operations, BatchWriteItem
does not behave in the same way as individual PutItem
and DeleteItem
calls would. For example, you cannot specify conditions on individual put and delete requests, and BatchWriteItem
does not return deleted items in the response.
If you use a programming language that supports concurrency, you can use threads to write items in parallel. Your application must include the necessary logic to manage the threads. With languages that don't support threading, you must update or delete the specified items one at a time. In both situations, BatchWriteItem
performs the specified put and delete operations in parallel, giving you the power of the thread pool approach without having to introduce complexity into your application.
Parallel processing reduces latency, but each specified put and delete request consumes the same number of write capacity units whether it is processed in parallel or not. Delete operations on nonexistent items consume one write capacity unit.
If one or more of the following is true, DynamoDB rejects the entire batch write operation:
-
One or more tables specified in the
BatchWriteItem
request does not exist. -
Primary key attributes specified on an item in the request do not match those in the corresponding table's primary key schema.
-
You try to perform multiple operations on the same item in the same
BatchWriteItem
request. For example, you cannot put and delete the same item in the sameBatchWriteItem
request. -
Your request contains at least two items with identical hash and range keys (which essentially is two put operations).
-
There are more than 25 requests in the batch.
-
Any individual item in a batch exceeds 400 KB.
-
The total request size exceeds 16 MB.
-
Any individual items with keys exceeding the key length limits. For a partition key, the limit is 2048 bytes and for a sort key, the limit is 1024 bytes.

CreateBackup
$result = $client->createBackup
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->createBackupAsync
([/* ... */]);
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 asynchronously, by applying all changes until the time of the request to the last full table snapshot. Backup requests are processed instantaneously and become available for restore within minutes.
You can call CreateBackup
at a maximum rate of 50 times per second.
All backups in DynamoDB work without consuming any provisioned throughput on the table.
If you submit a backup request on 2018-12-14 at 14:25:00, the backup is guaranteed to contain all data committed to the table up to 14:24:00, and data committed after 14:26:00 will not be. The backup might contain data modifications made between 14:24:00 and 14:26:00. On-demand backup does not support causal consistency.
Along with data, the following are also included on the backups:
-
Global secondary indexes (GSIs)
-
Local secondary indexes (LSIs)
-
Streams
-
Provisioned read and write capacity

,RestoreTableFromBackup
, andRestoreTableToPointInTime
.When you are creating a table with one or more secondary indexes, you can have up to 250 such requests running at a time. However, if the table or index specifications are complex, then DynamoDB might temporarily reduce the number of concurrent operations.
When importing into DynamoDB, up to 50 simultaneous import table operations are allowed per account.
There is a soft account quota of 2,500 tables.
GetRecords was called with a value of more than 1000 for the limit request parameter.
More than 2 processes are reading from the same streams shard at the same time. Exceeding this limit may result in request throttling.

CreateGlobalTable
$result = $client->createGlobalTable
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->createGlobalTableAsync
([/* ... */]);
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 tables. Customers should use Global Tables version 2019.11.21 (Current) when possible, because it provides greater flexibility, higher efficiency, and consumes less write capacity than 2017.11.29 (Legacy).
To determine which version you're using, see Determining the global table version you are using. To update existing global tables from version 2017.11.29 (Legacy) to version 2019.11.21 (Current), see Upgrading global tables.
If you want to add a new replica table to a global table, each of the following conditions must be true:
-
The table must have the same primary key as all of the other replicas.
-
The table must have the same name as all of the other replicas.
-
The table must have DynamoDB Streams enabled, with the stream containing both the new and the old images of the item.
-
None of the replica tables in the global table can contain any data.
If global secondary indexes are specified, then the following conditions must also be met:
-
The global secondary indexes must have the same name.
-
The global secondary indexes must have the same hash key and sort key (if present).
If local secondary indexes are specified, then the following conditions must also be met:
-
The local secondary indexes must have the same name.
-
The local secondary indexes must have the same hash key and sort key (if present).
Write capacity settings should be set consistently across your replica tables and secondary indexes. DynamoDB strongly recommends enabling auto scaling to manage the write capacity settings for all of your global tables replicas and indexes.
If you prefer to manage write capacity settings manually, you should provision equal replicated write capacity units to your replica tables. You should also provision equal replicated write capacity units to matching secondary indexes across your global table.

CreateTable
$result = $client->createTable
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->createTableAsync
([/* ... */]);
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 CreateTable
request, DynamoDB immediately returns a response with a TableStatus
of CREATING
. After the table is created, DynamoDB sets the TableStatus
to ACTIVE
. You can perform read and write operations only on an ACTIVE
table.
You can optionally define secondary indexes on the new table, as part of the CreateTable
operation. If you want to create multiple tables with secondary indexes on them, you must create the tables sequentially. Only one table with secondary indexes can be in the CREATING
state at any given time.
You can use the DescribeTable
action to check the table status.

in the array is composed of:-
AttributeName
- The name of this key attribute. -
KeyType
- The role that the key attribute will assume:-
HASH
- partition key -

The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from the DynamoDB usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.
The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.
For a simple primary key (partition key), you must provide exactly one element with a
KeyType
ofHASH
.For a composite primary key (partition key and sort key), you must provide exactly two elements, in this order: The first element must have a
KeyType
ofHASH
, and the second element must have aKeyType
ofRANGE
.For more information, see Working with Tables in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

DeleteItem
$result = $client->deleteItem
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->deleteItemAsync
([/* ... */]);
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
parameter.
Unless you specify conditions, the DeleteItem
is an idempotent operation; running it multiple times on the same item or attribute does not result in an error response.
Conditional deletes are useful for deleting items only if specific conditions are met. If those conditions are met, DynamoDB performs the delete. Otherwise, the item is not deleted.
Parameter Syntax
$result = $client->deleteItem([ 'ConditionExpression' => '<string>', 'ConditionalOperator' => 'AND|OR', 'Expected' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [ 'AttributeValueList' => [ [ 'B' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, 'BOOL' => true || false, 'BS' => [<string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, ...], 'L' => [ [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'M' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'N' => '<string>', 'NS' => ['<string>', ...], 'NULL' => true || false, 'S' => '<string>', 'SS' => ['<string>', ...], ], // ... ], 'ComparisonOperator' => 'EQ|NE|IN|LE|LT|GE|GT|BETWEEN|NOT_NULL|NULL|CONTAINS|NOT_CONTAINS|BEGINS_WITH', 'Exists' => true || false, 'Value' => [ 'B' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, 'BOOL' => true || false, 'BS' => [<string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, ...], 'L' => [ [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'M' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'N' => '<string>', 'NS' => ['<string>', ...], 'NULL' => true || false, 'S' => '<string>', 'SS' => ['<string>', ...], ], ], // ... ], 'ExpressionAttributeNames' => ['<string>', ...], 'ExpressionAttributeValues' => [ '<ExpressionAttributeValueVariable>' => [ 'B' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, 'BOOL' => true || false, 'BS' => [<string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, ...], 'L' => [ [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'M' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'N' => '<string>', 'NS' => ['<string>', ...], 'NULL' => true || false, 'S' => '<string>', 'SS' => ['<string>', ...], ], // ... ], 'Key' => [ // REQUIRED '<AttributeName>' => [ 'B' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, 'BOOL' => true || false, 'BS' => [<string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, ...], 'L' => [ [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'M' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'N' => '<string>', 'NS' => ['<string>', ...], 'NULL' => true || false, 'S' => '<string>', 'SS' => ['<string>', ...], ], // ... ], 'ReturnConsumedCapacity' => 'INDEXES|TOTAL|NONE', 'ReturnItemCollectionMetrics' => 'SIZE|NONE', 'ReturnValues' => 'NONE|ALL_OLD|UPDATED_OLD|ALL_NEW|UPDATED_NEW', 'ReturnValuesOnConditionCheckFailure' => 'ALL_OLD|NONE', 'TableName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED ]);
Parameter Details
Members
- ConditionExpression
-
- Type: string
A condition that must be satisfied in order for a conditional
DeleteItem
to succeed.An expression can contain any of the following:
-
Functions:
attribute_exists | attribute_not_exists | attribute_type | contains | begins_with | size
These function names are case-sensitive.
-
Comparison operators:
= | <> | < | > | <= | >= | BETWEEN | IN
-
Logical operators:
AND | OR | NOT
For more information about condition expressions, see Condition Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ConditionalOperator
-
- Type: string
This is a legacy parameter. Use
ConditionExpression
instead. For more information, see ConditionalOperator in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - Expected
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to ExpectedAttributeValue structures
This is a legacy parameter. Use
ConditionExpression
instead. For more information, see Expected in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - ExpressionAttributeNames
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (ExpressionAttributeNameVariable) to strings
One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.
-
To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.
-
To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.
Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:
-
Percentile
The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
{"#P":"Percentile"}
You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:
-
#P = :val
Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.
For more information on expression attribute names, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ExpressionAttributeValues
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (ExpressionAttributeValueVariable) to AttributeValue structures
One or more values that can be substituted in an expression.
Use the : (colon) character in an expression to dereference an attribute value. For example, suppose that you wanted to check whether the value of the ProductStatus attribute was one of the following:
Available | Backordered | Discontinued
You would first need to specify
ExpressionAttributeValues
as follows:{ ":avail":{"S":"Available"}, ":back":{"S":"Backordered"}, ":disc":{"S":"Discontinued"} }
You could then use these values in an expression, such as this:
ProductStatus IN (:avail, :back, :disc)
For more information on expression attribute values, see Condition Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- Key
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to AttributeValue structures
A map of attribute names to
AttributeValue
objects, representing the primary key of the item to delete.For the primary key, you must provide all of the key attributes. For example, with a simple primary key, you only need to provide a value for the partition key. For a composite primary key, you must provide values for both the partition key and the sort key.
- ReturnConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: string
Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:
-
INDEXES
- The response includes the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation, together withConsumedCapacity
for each table and secondary index that was accessed.Note that some operations, such as
GetItem
andBatchGetItem
, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifyingINDEXES
will only returnConsumedCapacity
information for table(s). -
TOTAL
- The response includes only the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation. -
NONE
- NoConsumedCapacity
details are included in the response.
- ReturnItemCollectionMetrics
-
- Type: string
Determines whether item collection metrics are returned. If set to
SIZE
, the response includes statistics about item collections, if any, that were modified during the operation are returned in the response. If set toNONE
(the default), no statistics are returned. - ReturnValues
-
- Type: string
Use
ReturnValues
if you want to get the item attributes as they appeared before they were deleted. ForDeleteItem
, the valid values are:-
NONE
- IfReturnValues
is not specified, or if its value isNONE
, then nothing is returned. (This setting is the default forReturnValues
.) -
ALL_OLD
- The content of the old item is returned.
There is no additional cost associated with requesting a return value aside from the small network and processing overhead of receiving a larger response. No read capacity units are consumed.
The
ReturnValues
parameter is used by several DynamoDB operations; however,DeleteItem
does not recognize any values other thanNONE
orALL_OLD
. - ReturnValuesOnConditionCheckFailure
-
- Type: string
An optional parameter that returns the item attributes for a
DeleteItem
operation that failed a condition check.There is no additional cost associated with requesting a return value aside from the small network and processing overhead of receiving a larger response. No read capacity units are consumed.
- TableName
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
The name of the table from which to delete the item. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.

Members
- Attributes
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to AttributeValue structures
A map of attribute names to
AttributeValue
objects, representing the item as it appeared before theDeleteItem
operation. This map appears in the response only ifReturnValues
was specified asALL_OLD
in the request. - ConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: ConsumedCapacity structure
The capacity units consumed by the
DeleteItem
operation. The data returned includes the total provisioned throughput consumed, along with statistics for the table and any indexes involved in the operation.ConsumedCapacity
is only returned if theReturnConsumedCapacity
parameter was specified. For more information, see Provisioned capacity mode in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - ItemCollectionMetrics
-
- Type: ItemCollectionMetrics structure
Information about item collections, if any, that were affected by the
DeleteItem
operation.ItemCollectionMetrics
is only returned if theReturnItemCollectionMetrics
parameter was specified. If the table does not have any local secondary indexes, this information is not returned in the response.Each
ItemCollectionMetrics
element consists of:-
ItemCollectionKey
- The partition key value of the item collection. This is the same as the partition key value of the item itself. -
SizeEstimateRangeGB
- An estimate of item collection size, in gigabytes. This value is a two-element array containing a lower bound and an upper bound for the estimate. The estimate includes the size of all the items in the table, plus the size of all attributes projected into all of the local secondary indexes on that table. Use this estimate to measure whether a local secondary index is approaching its size limit.The estimate is subject to change over time; therefore, do not rely on the precision or accuracy of the estimate.
Errors
- ConditionalCheckFailedException:
A condition specified in the operation could not be evaluated.
- ProvisionedThroughputExceededException:
Your request rate is too high. The Amazon Web Services SDKs for DynamoDB automatically retry requests that receive this exception. Your request is eventually successful, unless your retry queue is too large to finish. Reduce the frequency of requests and use exponential backoff. For more information, go to Error Retries and Exponential Backoff in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ResourceNotFoundException:
The operation tried to access a nonexistent table or index. The resource might not be specified correctly, or its status might not be
ACTIVE
.- ItemCollectionSizeLimitExceededException:
An item collection is too large. This exception is only returned for tables that have one or more local secondary indexes.
- TransactionConflictException:
Operation was rejected because there is an ongoing transaction for the item.
- RequestLimitExceeded:
Throughput exceeds the current throughput quota for your account. Please contact Amazon Web Services Support to request a quota increase.
- InternalServerError:
An error occurred on the server side.
Examples
Example 1: To delete an item
This example deletes an item from the Music table.
$result = $client->deleteItem([ 'Key' => [ 'Artist' => [ 'S' => 'No One You Know', ], 'SongTitle' => [ 'S' => 'Scared of My Shadow', ], ], 'TableName' => 'Music', ]);
Result syntax:
[ 'ConsumedCapacity' => [ 'CapacityUnits' => 1, 'TableName' => 'Music', ], ]
DeleteResourcePolicy
$result = $client->deleteResourcePolicy
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->deleteResourcePolicyAsync
([/* ... */]);
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 PolicyNotFoundException
.
To make sure that you don't inadvertently lock yourself out of your own resources, the root principal in your Amazon Web Services account can perform DeleteResourcePolicy
requests, even if your resource-based policy explicitly denies the root principal's access.
DeleteResourcePolicy
is an asynchronous operation. If you issue a GetResourcePolicy
request immediately after running the DeleteResourcePolicy
request, DynamoDB might still return the deleted policy. This is because the policy for your resource might not have been deleted yet. Wait for a few seconds, and then try the GetResourcePolicy
request again.
Parameter Syntax
$result = $client->deleteResourcePolicy([ 'ExpectedRevisionId' => '<string>', 'ResourceArn' => '<string>', // REQUIRED ]);
Parameter Details
Members
- ExpectedRevisionId
-
- Type: string
A string value that you can use to conditionally delete your policy. When you provide an expected revision ID, if the revision ID of the existing policy on the resource doesn't match or if there's no policy attached to the resource, the request will fail and return a
PolicyNotFoundException
. - ResourceArn
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the DynamoDB resource from which the policy will be removed. The resources you can specify include tables and streams. If you remove the policy of a table, it will also remove the permissions for the table's indexes defined in that policy document. This is because index permissions are defined in the table's policy.
Result Syntax
[ 'RevisionId' => '<string>', ]
Result Details
Members
- RevisionId
-
- Type: string
A unique string that represents the revision ID of the policy. If you're comparing revision IDs, make sure to always use string comparison logic.
This value will be empty if you make a request against a resource without a policy.
Errors
- ResourceNotFoundException:
The operation tried to access a nonexistent table or index. The resource might not be specified correctly, or its status might not be
ACTIVE
.- InternalServerError:
An error occurred on the server side.
- PolicyNotFoundException:
The operation tried to access a nonexistent resource-based policy.
If you specified an
ExpectedRevisionId
, it's possible that a policy is present for the resource but its revision ID didn't match the expected value.- ResourceInUseException:
The operation conflicts with the resource's availability. For example:
-
You attempted to recreate an existing table.
-
You tried to delete a table currently in the
CREATING
state. -
You tried to update a resource that was already being updated.
When appropriate, wait for the ongoing update to complete and attempt the request again.

- LimitExceededException:
There is no limit to the number of daily on-demand backups that can be taken.
For most purposes, up to 500 simultaneous table operations are allowed per account. These operations include
CreateTable
,UpdateTable

, andRestoreTableToPointInTime
.When you are creating a table with one or more secondary indexes, you can have up to 250 such requests running at a time. However, if the table or index specifications are complex, then DynamoDB might temporarily reduce the number of concurrent operations.
When importing into DynamoDB, up to 50 simultaneous import table operations are allowed per account.
There is a soft account quota of 2,500 tables.
GetRecords was called with a value of more than 1000 for the limit request parameter.

DeleteTable
$result = $client->deleteTable
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->deleteTableAsync
([/* ... */]);
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 a ResourceInUseException
. If the specified table does not exist, DynamoDB returns a ResourceNotFoundException
. If table is already in the DELETING
state, no error is returned.
For global tables, this operation only applies to global tables using Version 2019.11.21 (Current version).
DynamoDB might continue to accept data read and write operations, such as GetItem
and PutItem
, on a table in the DELETING
state until the table deletion is complete. For the full list of table states, see TableStatus.
When you delete a table, any indexes on that table are also deleted.
If you have DynamoDB Streams enabled on the table, then the corresponding stream on that table goes into the DISABLED
state, and the stream is automatically deleted after 24 hours.
Use the DescribeTable
action to check the status of the table.

DescribeLimits
$result = $client->describeLimits
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->describeLimitsAsync
([/* ... */]);
Returns the current provisioned-capacity quotas for your Amazon Web Services account in a Region, both for the Region as a whole and for any one DynamoDB table that you create there.
When you establish an Amazon Web Services account, the account has initial quotas on the maximum read capacity units and write capacity units that you can provision across all of your DynamoDB tables in a given Region. Also, there are per-table quotas that apply when you create a table there. For more information, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas page in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
Although you can increase these quotas by filing a case at Amazon Web Services Support Center, obtaining the increase is not instantaneous. The DescribeLimits
action lets you write code to compare the capacity you are currently using to those quotas imposed by your account so that you have enough time to apply for an increase before you hit a quota.
For example, you could use one of the Amazon Web Services SDKs to do the following:
-
Call
DescribeLimits
for a particular Region to obtain your current account quotas on provisioned capacity there. -
Create a variable to hold the aggregate read capacity units provisioned for all your tables in that Region, and one to hold the aggregate write capacity units. Zero them both.
-
Call
ListTables
to obtain a list of all your DynamoDB tables. -
For each table name listed by
ListTables
, do the following:-
Call
DescribeTable
with the table name. -
Use the data returned by
DescribeTable
to add the read capacity units and write capacity units provisioned for the table itself to your variables. -
If the table has one or more global secondary indexes (GSIs), loop over these GSIs and add their provisioned capacity values to your variables as well.
-
-
Report the account quotas for that Region returned by
DescribeLimits
, along with the total current provisioned capacity levels you have calculated.
This will let you see whether you are getting close to your account-level quotas.
The per-table quotas apply only when you are creating a new table. They restrict the sum of the provisioned capacity of the new table itself and all its global secondary indexes.
For existing tables and their GSIs, DynamoDB doesn't let you increase provisioned capacity extremely rapidly, but the only quota that applies is that the aggregate provisioned capacity over all your tables and GSIs cannot exceed either of the per-account quotas.
DescribeLimits
should only be called periodically. You can expect throttling errors if you call it more than once in a minute.
The DescribeLimits
Request element has no content.

DescribeTable
$result = $client->describeTable
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->describeTableAsync
([/* ... */]);
Returns information about the table, including the current status of the table, when it was created, the primary key schema, and any indexes on the table.
For global tables, this operation only applies to global tables using Version 2019.11.21 (Current version).
If you issue a DescribeTable
request immediately after a CreateTable
request, DynamoDB might return a ResourceNotFoundException
. This is because DescribeTable
uses an eventually consistent query, and the metadata for your table might not be available at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then try the DescribeTable
request again.
Parameter Syntax
$result = $client->describeTable([ 'TableName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED ]);

ExecuteStatement
$result = $client->executeStatement
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->executeStatementAsync
([/* ... */]);
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 LastEvaluatedKey
value to continue the read in a subsequent operation. If the filter criteria in WHERE
clause does not match any data, the read will return an empty result set.
A single SELECT
statement response can return up to the maximum number of items (if using the Limit parameter) or a maximum of 1 MB of data (and then apply any filtering to the results using WHERE
clause). If LastEvaluatedKey
is present in the response, you need to paginate the result set. If NextToken
is present, you need to paginate the result set and include NextToken
.
Parameter Syntax
$result = $client->executeStatement([ 'ConsistentRead' => true || false, 'Limit' => <integer>, 'NextToken' => '<string>', 'Parameters' => [ [ 'B' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, 'BOOL' => true || false, 'BS' => [<string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, ...], 'L' => [ [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'M' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'N' => '<string>', 'NS' => ['<string>', ...], 'NULL' => true || false, 'S' => '<string>', 'SS' => ['<string>', ...], ], // ... ], 'ReturnConsumedCapacity' => 'INDEXES|TOTAL|NONE', 'ReturnValuesOnConditionCheckFailure' => 'ALL_OLD|NONE', 'Statement' => '<string>', // REQUIRED ]);

Members
- ConsistentRead
-
- Type: boolean
The consistency of a read operation. If set to
true
, then a strongly consistent read is used; otherwise, an eventually consistent read is used. - Limit
-
- Type: int
The maximum number of items to evaluate (not necessarily the number of matching items). If DynamoDB processes the number of items up to the limit while processing the results, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to that point, along with a key in
LastEvaluatedKey
to apply in a subsequent operation so you can pick up where you left off. Also, if the processed dataset size exceeds 1 MB before DynamoDB reaches this limit, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to the limit, and a key inLastEvaluatedKey
to apply in a subsequent operation to continue the operation. - NextToken
-
- Type: string
Set this value to get remaining results, if
NextToken
was returned in the statement response. - Parameters
-
- Type: Array of AttributeValue structures
The parameters for the PartiQL statement, if any.
- ReturnConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: string
Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:
-
INDEXES
- The response includes the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation, together withConsumedCapacity
for each table and secondary index that was accessed.Note that some operations, such as
GetItem
andBatchGetItem
, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifyingINDEXES
will only returnConsumedCapacity
information for table(s). -
TOTAL
- The response includes only the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation. -
NONE
- NoConsumedCapacity
details are included in the response.
- ReturnValuesOnConditionCheckFailure
-
- Type: string
An optional parameter that returns the item attributes for an
ExecuteStatement
operation that failed a condition check.There is no additional cost associated with requesting a return value aside from the small network and processing overhead of receiving a larger response. No read capacity units are consumed.
- Statement
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
The PartiQL statement representing the operation to run.

- ConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: ConsumedCapacity structure
The capacity units consumed by an operation. The data returned includes the total provisioned throughput consumed, along with statistics for the table and any indexes involved in the operation.
ConsumedCapacity
is only returned if the request asked for it. For more information, see Provisioned capacity mode in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - Items
-
- Type: Array of AttributeValue structuress
If a read operation was used, this property will contain the result of the read operation; a map of attribute names and their values. For the write operations this value will be empty.
- LastEvaluatedKey
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to AttributeValue structures
The primary key of the item where the operation stopped, inclusive of the previous result set. Use this value to start a new operation, excluding this value in the new request. If
LastEvaluatedKey
is empty, then the "last page" of results has been processed and there is no more data to be retrieved. IfLastEvaluatedKey
is not empty, it does not necessarily mean that there is more data in the result set. The only way to know when you have reached the end of the result set is whenLastEvaluatedKey
is empty. - NextToken
-
- Type: string
If the response of a read request exceeds the response payload limit DynamoDB will set this value in the response. If set, you can use that this value in the subsequent request to get the remaining results.
Errors
- ConditionalCheckFailedException:
A condition specified in the operation could not be evaluated.
- ProvisionedThroughputExceededException:
Your request rate is too high. The Amazon Web Services SDKs for DynamoDB automatically retry requests that receive this exception. Your request is eventually successful, unless your retry queue is too large to finish. Reduce the frequency of requests and use exponential backoff. For more information, go to Error Retries and Exponential Backoff in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ResourceNotFoundException:
The operation tried to access a nonexistent table or index. The resource might not be specified correctly, or its status might not be
ACTIVE
.- ItemCollectionSizeLimitExceededException:
An item collection is too large. This exception is only returned for tables that have one or more local secondary indexes.
- TransactionConflictException:
Operation was rejected because there is an ongoing transaction for the item.
- RequestLimitExceeded:
Throughput exceeds the current throughput quota for your account. Please contact Amazon Web Services Support to request a quota increase.
- InternalServerError:
An error occurred on the server side.
- DuplicateItemException:
There was an attempt to insert an item with the same primary key as an item that already exists in the DynamoDB table.
ExecuteTransaction
$result = $client->executeTransaction
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->executeTransactionAsync
([/* ... */]);
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 condition of specific attributes of the item in a similar manner to ConditionCheck
in the TransactWriteItems API.

- TransactionInProgressException:
The transaction with the given request token is already in progress.
Recommended Settings
This is a general recommendation for handling the
TransactionInProgressException
. These settings help ensure that the client retries will trigger completion of the ongoingTransactWriteItems
request.-
Set
clientExecutionTimeout
to a value that allows at least one retry to be processed after 5 seconds have elapsed since the first attempt for theTransactWriteItems
operation. -
Set
socketTimeout
to a value a little lower than therequestTimeout
setting. -
requestTimeout
should be set based on the time taken for the individual retries of a single HTTP request for your use case, but setting it to 1 second or higher should work well to reduce chances of retries andTransactionInProgressException
errors. -
Use exponential backoff when retrying and tune backoff if needed.
Assuming default retry policy, example timeout settings based on the guidelines above are as follows:
Example timeline:
-
0-1000 first attempt
-
1000-1500 first sleep/delay (default retry policy uses 500 ms as base delay for 4xx errors)
-
1500-2500 second attempt
-
2500-3500 second sleep/delay (500 * 2, exponential backoff)
-
3500-4500 third attempt
-
4500-6500 third sleep/delay (500 * 2^2)
-
6500-7500 fourth attempt (this can trigger inline recovery since 5 seconds have elapsed since the first attempt reached TC)

- IdempotentParameterMismatchException:
DynamoDB rejected the request because you retried a request with a different payload but with an idempotent token that was already used.
- ProvisionedThroughputExceededException:
Your request rate is too high. The Amazon Web Services SDKs for DynamoDB automatically retry requests that receive this exception. Your request is eventually successful, unless your retry queue is too large to finish. Reduce the frequency of requests and use exponential backoff. For more information, go to Error Retries and Exponential Backoff in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

ClientToken
makes the call toExportTableToPointInTimeInput
idempotent, meaning that multiple identical calls have the same effect as one single call.A client token is valid for 8 hours after the first request that uses it is completed. After 8 hours, any request with the same client token is treated as a new request. Do not resubmit the same request with the same client token for more than 8 hours, or the result might not be idempotent.
If you submit a request with the same client token but a change in other parameters within the 8-hour idempotency window, DynamoDB returns an

GetItem
$result = $client->getItem
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->getItemAsync
([/* ... */]);
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 strongly consistent read, set ConsistentRead
to true
. Although a strongly consistent read might take more time than an eventually consistent read, it always returns the last updated value.
Parameter Syntax
$result = $client->getItem([ 'AttributesToGet' => ['<string>', ...], 'ConsistentRead' => true || false, 'ExpressionAttributeNames' => ['<string>', ...], 'Key' => [ // REQUIRED '<AttributeName>' => [ 'B' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, 'BOOL' => true || false, 'BS' => [<string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, ...], 'L' => [ [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'M' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'N' => '<string>', 'NS' => ['<string>', ...], 'NULL' => true || false, 'S' => '<string>', 'SS' => ['<string>', ...], ], // ... ], 'ProjectionExpression' => '<string>', 'ReturnConsumedCapacity' => 'INDEXES|TOTAL|NONE', 'TableName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED ]);
Parameter Details
Members
- AttributesToGet
-
- Type: Array of strings
This is a legacy parameter. Use
ProjectionExpression
instead. For more information, see AttributesToGet in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - ConsistentRead
-
- Type: boolean
Determines the read consistency model: If set to
true
, then the operation uses strongly consistent reads; otherwise, the operation uses eventually consistent reads. - ExpressionAttributeNames
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (ExpressionAttributeNameVariable) to strings
One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.
-
To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.
-
To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.
Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:
-
Percentile
The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
{"#P":"Percentile"}
You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:
-
#P = :val
Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.
For more information on expression attribute names, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- Key
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to AttributeValue structures
A map of attribute names to
AttributeValue
objects, representing the primary key of the item to retrieve.For the primary key, you must provide all of the attributes. For example, with a simple primary key, you only need to provide a value for the partition key. For a composite primary key, you must provide values for both the partition key and the sort key.
- ProjectionExpression
-
- Type: string
A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the table. These attributes can include scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the expression must be separated by commas.
If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes are returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they do not appear in the result.
For more information, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ReturnConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: string
Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:
-
INDEXES
- The response includes the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation, together withConsumedCapacity
for each table and secondary index that was accessed.Note that some operations, such as
GetItem
andBatchGetItem
, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifyingINDEXES
will only returnConsumedCapacity
information for table(s). -
TOTAL
- The response includes only the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation. -
NONE
- NoConsumedCapacity
details are included in the response.
- TableName
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
The name of the table containing the requested item. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.

Errors
- ProvisionedThroughputExceededException:
Your request rate is too high. The Amazon Web Services SDKs for DynamoDB automatically retry requests that receive this exception. Your request is eventually successful, unless your retry queue is too large to finish. Reduce the frequency of requests and use exponential backoff. For more information, go to Error Retries and Exponential Backoff in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ResourceNotFoundException:
The operation tried to access a nonexistent table or index. The resource might not be specified correctly, or its status might not be
ACTIVE
.- RequestLimitExceeded:
Throughput exceeds the current throughput quota for your account. Please contact Amazon Web Services Support to request a quota increase.
- InternalServerError:

Examples
Example 1: To read an item from a table
This example retrieves an item from the Music table. The table has a partition key and a sort key (Artist and SongTitle), so you must specify both of these attributes.
$result = $client->getItem([ 'Key' => [ 'Artist' => [ 'S' => 'Acme Band', ], 'SongTitle' => [ 'S' => 'Happy Day', ], ], 'TableName' => 'Music', ]);
Result syntax:
[ 'Item' => [ 'AlbumTitle' => [ 'S' => 'Songs About Life', ], 'Artist' => [ 'S' => 'Acme Band', ], 'SongTitle' => [ 'S' => 'Happy Day', ], ], ]
GetResourcePolicy
$result = $client->getResourcePolicy
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->getResourcePolicyAsync
([/* ... */]);
Returns the resource-based policy document attached to the resource, which can be a table or stream, in JSON format.
GetResourcePolicy
follows an eventually consistent model. The following list describes the outcomes when you issue the GetResourcePolicy
request immediately after issuing another request:
-
If you issue a
GetResourcePolicy
request immediately after aPutResourcePolicy
request, DynamoDB might return aPolicyNotFoundException
. -
If you issue a
GetResourcePolicy
request immediately after aDeleteResourcePolicy
request, DynamoDB might return the policy that was present before the deletion request. -
If you issue a
GetResourcePolicy
request immediately after aCreateTable
request, which includes a resource-based policy, DynamoDB might return aResourceNotFoundException
or aPolicyNotFoundException
.
Because GetResourcePolicy
uses an eventually consistent query, the metadata for your policy or table might not be available at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then retry the GetResourcePolicy
request.
After a GetResourcePolicy
request returns a policy created using the PutResourcePolicy
request, the policy will be applied in the authorization of requests to the resource. Because this process is eventually consistent, it will take some time to apply the policy to all requests to a resource. Policies that you attach while creating a table using the CreateTable
request will always be applied to all requests for that table.

PutItem
$result = $client->putItem
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->putItemAsync
([/* ... */]);
Creates a new item, or replaces an old item with a new item. If an item that has the same primary key as the new item already exists in the specified table, the new item completely replaces the existing item. You can perform a conditional put operation (add a new item if one with the specified primary key doesn't exist), or replace an existing item if it has certain attribute values. You can return the item's attribute values in the same operation, using the ReturnValues
parameter.
When you add an item, the primary key attributes are the only required attributes.
Empty String and Binary attribute values are allowed. Attribute values of type String and Binary must have a length greater than zero if the attribute is used as a key attribute for a table or index. Set type attributes cannot be empty.
Invalid Requests with empty values will be rejected with a ValidationException
exception.
To prevent a new item from replacing an existing item, use a conditional expression that contains the attribute_not_exists
function with the name of the attribute being used as the partition key for the table. Since every record must contain that attribute, the attribute_not_exists
function will only succeed if no matching item exists.
For more information about PutItem
, see Working with Items in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
Parameter Syntax
$result = $client->putItem([ 'ConditionExpression' => '<string>', 'ConditionalOperator' => 'AND|OR', 'Expected' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [ 'AttributeValueList' => [ [ 'B' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, 'BOOL' => true || false, 'BS' => [<string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, ...], 'L' => [ [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'M' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'N' => '<string>', 'NS' => ['<string>', ...], 'NULL' => true || false, 'S' => '<string>', 'SS' => ['<string>', ...], ], // ... ], 'ComparisonOperator' => 'EQ|NE|IN|LE|LT|GE|GT|BETWEEN|NOT_NULL|NULL|CONTAINS|NOT_CONTAINS|BEGINS_WITH', 'Exists' => true || false, 'Value' => [ 'B' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, 'BOOL' => true || false, 'BS' => [<string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, ...], 'L' => [ [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'M' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'N' => '<string>', 'NS' => ['<string>', ...], 'NULL' => true || false, 'S' => '<string>', 'SS' => ['<string>', ...], ], ], // ... ], 'ExpressionAttributeNames' => ['<string>', ...], 'ExpressionAttributeValues' => [ '<ExpressionAttributeValueVariable>' => [ 'B' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, 'BOOL' => true || false, 'BS' => [<string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, ...], 'L' => [ [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'M' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'N' => '<string>', 'NS' => ['<string>', ...], 'NULL' => true || false, 'S' => '<string>', 'SS' => ['<string>', ...], ], // ... ], 'Item' => [ // REQUIRED '<AttributeName>' => [ 'B' => <string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, 'BOOL' => true || false, 'BS' => [<string || resource || Psr\Http\Message\StreamInterface>, ...], 'L' => [ [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'M' => [ '<AttributeName>' => [...], // RECURSIVE // ... ], 'N' => '<string>', 'NS' => ['<string>', ...], 'NULL' => true || false, 'S' => '<string>', 'SS' => ['<string>', ...], ], // ... ], 'ReturnConsumedCapacity' => 'INDEXES|TOTAL|NONE', 'ReturnItemCollectionMetrics' => 'SIZE|NONE', 'ReturnValues' => 'NONE|ALL_OLD|UPDATED_OLD|ALL_NEW|UPDATED_NEW', 'ReturnValuesOnConditionCheckFailure' => 'ALL_OLD|NONE', 'TableName' => '<string>', // REQUIRED ]);
Parameter Details
Members
- ConditionExpression
-
- Type: string
A condition that must be satisfied in order for a conditional
PutItem
operation to succeed.An expression can contain any of the following:
-
Functions:
attribute_exists | attribute_not_exists | attribute_type | contains | begins_with | size
These function names are case-sensitive.
-
Comparison operators:
= | <> | < | > | <= | >= | BETWEEN | IN
-
Logical operators:
AND | OR | NOT
For more information on condition expressions, see Condition Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ConditionalOperator
-
- Type: string
This is a legacy parameter. Use
ConditionExpression
instead. For more information, see ConditionalOperator in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - Expected
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to ExpectedAttributeValue structures
This is a legacy parameter. Use
ConditionExpression
instead. For more information, see Expected in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - ExpressionAttributeNames
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (ExpressionAttributeNameVariable) to strings
One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.
-
To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.
-
To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.
Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:
-
Percentile
The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
{"#P":"Percentile"}
You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:
-
#P = :val
Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.
For more information on expression attribute names, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ExpressionAttributeValues
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (ExpressionAttributeValueVariable) to AttributeValue structures
One or more values that can be substituted in an expression.
Use the : (colon) character in an expression to dereference an attribute value. For example, suppose that you wanted to check whether the value of the ProductStatus attribute was one of the following:
Available | Backordered | Discontinued
You would first need to specify
ExpressionAttributeValues
as follows:{ ":avail":{"S":"Available"}, ":back":{"S":"Backordered"}, ":disc":{"S":"Discontinued"} }
You could then use these values in an expression, such as this:
ProductStatus IN (:avail, :back, :disc)
For more information on expression attribute values, see Condition Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- Item
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to AttributeValue structures
A map of attribute name/value pairs, one for each attribute. Only the primary key attributes are required; you can optionally provide other attribute name-value pairs for the item.
You must provide all of the attributes for the primary key. For example, with a simple primary key, you only need to provide a value for the partition key. For a composite primary key, you must provide both values for both the partition key and the sort key.
If you specify any attributes that are part of an index key, then the data types for those attributes must match those of the schema in the table's attribute definition.
Empty String and Binary attribute values are allowed. Attribute values of type String and Binary must have a length greater than zero if the attribute is used as a key attribute for a table or index.
For more information about primary keys, see Primary Key in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
Each element in the
Item
map is anAttributeValue
object. - ReturnConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: string
Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:
-
INDEXES
- The response includes the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation, together withConsumedCapacity
for each table and secondary index that was accessed.Note that some operations, such as
GetItem
andBatchGetItem
, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifyingINDEXES
will only returnConsumedCapacity
information for table(s). -
TOTAL
- The response includes only the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation. -
NONE
- NoConsumedCapacity
details are included in the response.
- ReturnItemCollectionMetrics
-
- Type: string
Determines whether item collection metrics are returned. If set to
SIZE
, the response includes statistics about item collections, if any, that were modified during the operation are returned in the response. If set toNONE
(the default), no statistics are returned. - ReturnValues
-
- Type: string
Use
ReturnValues
if you want to get the item attributes as they appeared before they were updated with thePutItem
request. ForPutItem
, the valid values are:-
NONE
- IfReturnValues
is not specified, or if its value isNONE
, then nothing is returned. (This setting is the default forReturnValues
.) -
ALL_OLD
- IfPutItem
overwrote an attribute name-value pair, then the content of the old item is returned.
The values returned are strongly consistent.
There is no additional cost associated with requesting a return value aside from the small network and processing overhead of receiving a larger response. No read capacity units are consumed.
The
ReturnValues
parameter is used by several DynamoDB operations; however,PutItem
does not recognize any values other thanNONE
orALL_OLD
. - ReturnValuesOnConditionCheckFailure
-
- Type: string
An optional parameter that returns the item attributes for a
PutItem
operation that failed a condition check.There is no additional cost associated with requesting a return value aside from the small network and processing overhead of receiving a larger response. No read capacity units are consumed.
- TableName
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
The name of the table to contain the item. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.

- Attributes
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to AttributeValue structures
The attribute values as they appeared before the
PutItem
operation, but only ifReturnValues
is specified asALL_OLD
in the request. Each element consists of an attribute name and an attribute value. - ConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: ConsumedCapacity structure
The capacity units consumed by the
PutItem
operation. The data returned includes the total provisioned throughput consumed, along with statistics for the table and any indexes involved in the operation.ConsumedCapacity
is only returned if theReturnConsumedCapacity

-
- Type: ItemCollectionMetrics structure
Information about item collections, if any, that were affected by the
PutItem
operation.ItemCollectionMetrics
is only returned if theReturnItemCollectionMetrics
parameter was specified. If the table does not have any local secondary indexes, this information is not returned in the response.Each
ItemCollectionMetrics
element consists of:-
ItemCollectionKey
- The partition key value of the item collection. This is the same as the partition key value of the item itself. -
SizeEstimateRangeGB
- An estimate of item collection size, in gigabytes. This value is a two-element array containing a lower bound and an upper bound for the estimate. The estimate includes the size of all the items in the table, plus the size of all attributes projected into all of the local secondary indexes on that table. Use this estimate to measure whether a local secondary index is approaching its size limit.The estimate is subject to change over time; therefore, do not rely on the precision or accuracy of the estimate.
Errors
- ConditionalCheckFailedException:
A condition specified in the operation could not be evaluated.
- ProvisionedThroughputExceededException:
Your request rate is too high. The Amazon Web Services SDKs for DynamoDB automatically retry requests that receive this exception. Your request is eventually successful, unless your retry queue is too large to finish. Reduce the frequency of requests and use exponential backoff. For more information, go to Error Retries and Exponential Backoff in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ResourceNotFoundException:
The operation tried to access a nonexistent table or index. The resource might not be specified correctly, or its status might not be
ACTIVE
.- ItemCollectionSizeLimitExceededException:
An item collection is too large. This exception is only returned for tables that have one or more local secondary indexes.
- TransactionConflictException:
Operation was rejected because there is an ongoing transaction for the item.
- RequestLimitExceeded:
Throughput exceeds the current throughput quota for your account. Please contact Amazon Web Services Support to request a quota increase.

PutResourcePolicy
$result = $client->putResourcePolicy
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->putResourcePolicyAsync
([/* ... */]);
Attaches a resource-based policy document to the resource, which can be a table or stream. When you attach a resource-based policy using this API, the policy application is eventually consistent .
PutResourcePolicy
is an idempotent operation; running it multiple times on the same resource using the same policy document will return the same revision ID. If you specify an ExpectedRevisionId
that doesn't match the current policy's RevisionId
, the PolicyNotFoundException
will be returned.
PutResourcePolicy
is an asynchronous operation. If you issue a GetResourcePolicy
request immediately after a PutResourcePolicy
request, DynamoDB might return your previous policy, if there was one, or return the PolicyNotFoundException
. This is because GetResourcePolicy
uses an eventually consistent query, and the metadata for your policy or table might not be available at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then try the GetResourcePolicy
request again.
Parameter Syntax
$result = $client->putResourcePolicy([ 'ConfirmRemoveSelfResourceAccess' => true || false, 'ExpectedRevisionId' => '<string>', 'Policy' => '<string>', // REQUIRED 'ResourceArn' => '<string>', // REQUIRED ]);
Parameter Details
Members
- ConfirmRemoveSelfResourceAccess
-
- Type: boolean
Set this parameter to
true
to confirm that you want to remove your permissions to change the policy of this resource in the future. - ExpectedRevisionId
-
- Type: string
A string value that you can use to conditionally update your policy. You can provide the revision ID of your existing policy to make mutating requests against that policy.
When you provide an expected revision ID, if the revision ID of the existing policy on the resource doesn't match or if there's no policy attached to the resource, your request will be rejected with a
PolicyNotFoundException
.To conditionally attach a policy when no policy exists for the resource, specify
NO_POLICY
for the revision ID. - Policy
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
An Amazon Web Services resource-based policy document in JSON format.
-
The maximum size supported for a resource-based policy document is 20 KB. DynamoDB counts whitespaces when calculating the size of a policy against this limit.
-
Within a resource-based policy, if the action for a DynamoDB service-linked role (SLR) to replicate data for a global table is denied, adding or deleting a replica will fail with an error.
For a full list of all considerations that apply while attaching a resource-based policy, see Resource-based policy considerations.
- ResourceArn
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the DynamoDB resource to which the policy will be attached. The resources you can specify include tables and streams.
You can control index permissions using the base table's policy. To specify the same permission level for your table and its indexes, you can provide both the table and index Amazon Resource Name (ARN)s in the
Resource
field of a givenStatement
in your policy document. Alternatively, to specify different permissions for your table, indexes, or both, you can define multipleStatement
fields in your policy document.

When importing into DynamoDB, up to 50 simultaneous import table operations are allowed per account.
There is a soft account quota of 2,500 tables.
GetRecords was called with a value of more than 1000 for the limit request parameter.
More than 2 processes are reading from the same streams shard at the same time. Exceeding this limit may result in request throttling.
- PolicyNotFoundException:
The operation tried to access a nonexistent resource-based policy.
If you specified an
ExpectedRevisionId
, it's possible that a policy is present for the resource but its revision ID didn't match the expected value.- ResourceInUseException:
The operation conflicts with the resource's availability. For example:
-
You attempted to recreate an existing table.
-
You tried to delete a table currently in the
CREATING
state. -
You tried to update a resource that was already being updated.
When appropriate, wait for the ongoing update to complete and attempt the request again.
-
Query
$result = $client->query
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->queryAsync
([/* ... */]);
You must provide the name of the partition key attribute and a single value for that attribute. Query
returns all items with that partition key value. Optionally, you can provide a sort key attribute and use a comparison operator to refine the search results.
Use the KeyConditionExpression
parameter to provide a specific value for the partition key. The Query
operation will return all of the items from the table or index with that partition key value. You can optionally narrow the scope of the Query
operation by specifying a sort key value and a comparison operator in KeyConditionExpression
. To further refine the Query
results, you can optionally provide a FilterExpression
. A FilterExpression
determines which items within the results should be returned to you. All of the other results are discarded.
A Query
operation always returns a result set. If no matching items are found, the result set will be empty. Queries that do not return results consume the minimum number of read capacity units for that type of read operation.
DynamoDB calculates the number of read capacity units consumed based on item size, not on the amount of data that is returned to an application. The number of capacity units consumed will be the same whether you request all of the attributes (the default behavior) or just some of them (using a projection expression). The number will also be the same whether or not you use a FilterExpression
.
Query
results are always sorted by the sort key value. If the data type of the sort key is Number, the results are returned in numeric order; otherwise, the results are returned in order of UTF-8 bytes. By default, the sort order is ascending. To reverse the order, set the ScanIndexForward
parameter to false.
A single Query
operation will read up to the maximum number of items set (if using the Limit
parameter) or a maximum of 1 MB of data and then apply any filtering to the results using FilterExpression
. If LastEvaluatedKey
is present in the response, you will need to paginate the result set. For more information, see Paginating the Results in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
FilterExpression
is applied after a Query
finishes, but before the results are returned. A FilterExpression
cannot contain partition key or sort key attributes. You need to specify those attributes in the KeyConditionExpression
.
A Query
operation can return an empty result set and a LastEvaluatedKey
if all the items read for the page of results are filtered out.
You can query a table, a local secondary index, or a global secondary index. For a query on a table or on a local secondary index, you can set the ConsistentRead
parameter to true
and obtain a strongly consistent result. Global secondary indexes support eventually consistent reads only, so do not specify ConsistentRead
when querying a global secondary index.

Parameter Details
Members
- AttributesToGet
-
- Type: Array of strings
This is a legacy parameter. Use
ProjectionExpression
instead. For more information, see AttributesToGet in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - ConditionalOperator
-
- Type: string
This is a legacy parameter. Use
FilterExpression
instead. For more information, see ConditionalOperator in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - ConsistentRead
-
- Type: boolean
Determines the read consistency model: If set to
true
, then the operation uses strongly consistent reads; otherwise, the operation uses eventually consistent reads.Strongly consistent reads are not supported on global secondary indexes. If you query a global secondary index with
ConsistentRead
set totrue
, you will receive aValidationException
. - ExclusiveStartKey
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to AttributeValue structures
The primary key of the first item that this operation will evaluate. Use the value that was returned for
LastEvaluatedKey
in the previous operation.The data type for
ExclusiveStartKey
must be String, Number, or Binary. No set data types are allowed. - ExpressionAttributeNames
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (ExpressionAttributeNameVariable) to strings
One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.
-
To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.
-
To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.
Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:
-
Percentile
The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
{"#P":"Percentile"}
You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:
-
#P = :val
Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.
For more information on expression attribute names, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ExpressionAttributeValues
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (ExpressionAttributeValueVariable) to AttributeValue structures
One or more values that can be substituted in an expression.
Use the : (colon) character in an expression to dereference an attribute value. For example, suppose that you wanted to check whether the value of the ProductStatus attribute was one of the following:
Available | Backordered | Discontinued
You would first need to specify
ExpressionAttributeValues
as follows:{ ":avail":{"S":"Available"}, ":back":{"S":"Backordered"}, ":disc":{"S":"Discontinued"} }
You could then use these values in an expression, such as this:
ProductStatus IN (:avail, :back, :disc)
For more information on expression attribute values, see Specifying Conditions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- FilterExpression
-
- Type: string
A string that contains conditions that DynamoDB applies after the
Query
operation, but before the data is returned to you. Items that do not satisfy theFilterExpression
criteria are not returned.A
FilterExpression
does not allow key attributes. You cannot define a filter expression based on a partition key or a sort key.A
FilterExpression
is applied after the items have already been read; the process of filtering does not consume any additional read capacity units.For more information, see Filter Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- IndexName
-
- Type: string
The name of an index to query. This index can be any local secondary index or global secondary index on the table. Note that if you use the
IndexName
parameter, you must also provideTableName.
- KeyConditionExpression
-
- Type: string
The condition that specifies the key values for items to be retrieved by the
Query
action.The condition must perform an equality test on a single partition key value.
The condition can optionally perform one of several comparison tests on a single sort key value. This allows
Query
to retrieve one item with a given partition key value and sort key value, or several items that have the same partition key value but different sort key values.The partition key equality test is required, and must be specified in the following format:
partitionKeyName
=:partitionkeyval
If you also want to provide a condition for the sort key, it must be combined using
AND
with the condition for the sort key. Following is an example, using the = comparison operator for the sort key:partitionKeyName
=
:partitionkeyval
AND
sortKeyName
=
:sortkeyval
Valid comparisons for the sort key condition are as follows:
-
sortKeyName
=
:sortkeyval
- true if the sort key value is equal to:sortkeyval
. -
sortKeyName
<
:sortkeyval
- true if the sort key value is less than:sortkeyval
. -
sortKeyName
<=
:sortkeyval
- true if the sort key value is less than or equal to:sortkeyval
. -
sortKeyName
>
:sortkeyval
- true if the sort key value is greater than:sortkeyval
. -
sortKeyName
>=
:sortkeyval
- true if the sort key value is greater than or equal to:sortkeyval
. -
sortKeyName
BETWEEN
:sortkeyval1
AND
:sortkeyval2
- true if the sort key value is greater than or equal to:sortkeyval1
, and less than or equal to:sortkeyval2
. -
begins_with (
sortKeyName
,:sortkeyval
)
- true if the sort key value begins with a particular operand. (You cannot use this function with a sort key that is of type Number.) Note that the function namebegins_with
is case-sensitive.
Use the
ExpressionAttributeValues
parameter to replace tokens such as:partitionval
and:sortval
with actual values at runtime.You can optionally use the
ExpressionAttributeNames
parameter to replace the names of the partition key and sort key with placeholder tokens. This option might be necessary if an attribute name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word. For example, the followingKeyConditionExpression
parameter causes an error because Size is a reserved word:-
Size = :myval
To work around this, define a placeholder (such a
#S
) to represent the attribute name Size.KeyConditionExpression
then is as follows:-
#S = :myval
For a list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
For more information on
ExpressionAttributeNames
andExpressionAttributeValues
, see Using Placeholders for Attribute Names and Values in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - KeyConditions
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to Condition structures
This is a legacy parameter. Use
KeyConditionExpression
instead. For more information, see KeyConditions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - Limit
-
- Type: int
The maximum number of items to evaluate (not necessarily the number of matching items). If DynamoDB processes the number of items up to the limit while processing the results, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to that point, and a key in
LastEvaluatedKey
to apply in a subsequent operation, so that you can pick up where you left off. Also, if the processed dataset size exceeds 1 MB before DynamoDB reaches this limit, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to the limit, and a key inLastEvaluatedKey
to apply in a subsequent operation to continue the operation. For more information, see Query and Scan in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - ProjectionExpression
-
- Type: string
A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the table. These attributes can include scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the expression must be separated by commas.
If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes will be returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they will not appear in the result.
For more information, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- QueryFilter
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to Condition structures
This is a legacy parameter. Use
FilterExpression
instead. For more information, see QueryFilter in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - ReturnConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: string
Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:
-
INDEXES
- The response includes the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation, together withConsumedCapacity
for each table and secondary index that was accessed.Note that some operations, such as
GetItem
andBatchGetItem
, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifyingINDEXES
will only returnConsumedCapacity
information for table(s). -
TOTAL
- The response includes only the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation. -
NONE
- NoConsumedCapacity
details are included in the response.
- ScanIndexForward
-
- Type: boolean
Specifies the order for index traversal: If
true
(default), the traversal is performed in ascending order; iffalse
, the traversal is performed in descending order.Items with the same partition key value are stored in sorted order by sort key. If the sort key data type is Number, the results are stored in numeric order. For type String, the results are stored in order of UTF-8 bytes. For type Binary, DynamoDB treats each byte of the binary data as unsigned.
If
ScanIndexForward
istrue
, DynamoDB returns the results in the order in which they are stored (by sort key value). This is the default behavior. IfScanIndexForward
isfalse
, DynamoDB reads the results in reverse order by sort key value, and then returns the results to the client. - Select
-
- Type: string
The attributes to be returned in the result. You can retrieve all item attributes, specific item attributes, the count of matching items, or in the case of an index, some or all of the attributes projected into the index.
-
ALL_ATTRIBUTES
- Returns all of the item attributes from the specified table or index. If you query a local secondary index, then for each matching item in the index, DynamoDB fetches the entire item from the parent table. If the index is configured to project all item attributes, then all of the data can be obtained from the local secondary index, and no fetching is required. -
ALL_PROJECTED_ATTRIBUTES
- Allowed only when querying an index. Retrieves all attributes that have been projected into the index. If the index is configured to project all attributes, this return value is equivalent to specifyingALL_ATTRIBUTES
. -
COUNT
- Returns the number of matching items, rather than the matching items themselves. Note that this uses the same quantity of read capacity units as getting the items, and is subject to the same item size calculations. -
SPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES
- Returns only the attributes listed inProjectionExpression
. This return value is equivalent to specifyingProjectionExpression
without specifying any value forSelect
.If you query or scan a local secondary index and request only attributes that are projected into that index, the operation will read only the index and not the table. If any of the requested attributes are not projected into the local secondary index, DynamoDB fetches each of these attributes from the parent table. This extra fetching incurs additional throughput cost and latency.
If you query or scan a global secondary index, you can only request attributes that are projected into the index. Global secondary index queries cannot fetch attributes from the parent table.
If neither
Select
norProjectionExpression
are specified, DynamoDB defaults toALL_ATTRIBUTES
when accessing a table, andALL_PROJECTED_ATTRIBUTES
when accessing an index. You cannot use bothSelect
andProjectionExpression
together in a single request, unless the value forSelect
isSPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES
. (This usage is equivalent to specifyingProjectionExpression
without any value forSelect
.)If you use the
ProjectionExpression
parameter, then the value forSelect
can only beSPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES
. Any other value forSelect
will return an error. - TableName
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
The name of the table containing the requested items. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.

Members
- ConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: ConsumedCapacity structure
The capacity units consumed by the
Query
operation. The data returned includes the total provisioned throughput consumed, along with statistics for the table and any indexes involved in the operation.ConsumedCapacity
is only returned if theReturnConsumedCapacity
parameter was specified. For more information, see Capacity unit consumption for read operations in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - Count
-
- Type: int
The number of items in the response.
If you used a
QueryFilter
in the request, thenCount
is the number of items returned after the filter was applied, andScannedCount
is the number of matching items before the filter was applied.If you did not use a filter in the request, then
Count
andScannedCount
are the same. - Items
-
- Type: Array of AttributeValue structuress
An array of item attributes that match the query criteria. Each element in this array consists of an attribute name and the value for that attribute.
- LastEvaluatedKey
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to AttributeValue structures
The primary key of the item where the operation stopped, inclusive of the previous result set. Use this value to start a new operation, excluding this value in the new request.
If
LastEvaluatedKey
is empty, then the "last page" of results has been processed and there is no more data to be retrieved.If
LastEvaluatedKey
is not empty, it does not necessarily mean that there is more data in the result set. The only way to know when you have reached the end of the result set is whenLastEvaluatedKey
is empty. - ScannedCount
-
- Type: int
The number of items evaluated, before any
QueryFilter
is applied. A highScannedCount
value with few, or no,Count
results indicates an inefficientQuery
operation. For more information, see Count and ScannedCount in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.If you did not use a filter in the request, then
ScannedCount
is the same asCount
.
Errors
- ProvisionedThroughputExceededException:
Your request rate is too high. The Amazon Web Services SDKs for DynamoDB automatically retry requests that receive this exception. Your request is eventually successful, unless your retry queue is too large to finish. Reduce the frequency of requests and use exponential backoff. For more information, go to Error Retries and Exponential Backoff in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ResourceNotFoundException:
The operation tried to access a nonexistent table or index. The resource might not be specified correctly, or its status might not be
ACTIVE
.- RequestLimitExceeded:
Throughput exceeds the current throughput quota for your account. Please contact Amazon Web Services Support to request a quota increase.
- InternalServerError:
An error occurred on the server side.

. You can restore your table to any point in time during the last 35 days. Any number of users can execute up to 50 concurrent restores (any type of restore) in a given account.
When you restore using point in time recovery, DynamoDB restores your table data to the state based on the selected date and time (day:hour:minute:second) to a new table.
Along with data, the following are also included on the new restored table using point in time recovery:
-
Global secondary indexes (GSIs)
-
Local secondary indexes (LSIs)
-
Provisioned read and write capacity
-
Encryption settings
All these settings come from the current settings of the source table at the time of restore.
You must manually set up the following on the restored table:
-
Auto scaling policies
-
IAM policies
-
Amazon CloudWatch metrics and alarms
-
Tags
-
Stream settings
-
Time to Live (TTL) settings
-

Scan
$result = $client->scan
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->scanAsync
([/* ... */]);
The Scan
operation returns one or more items and item attributes by accessing every item in a table or a secondary index. To have DynamoDB return fewer items, you can provide a FilterExpression
operation.
If the total size of scanned items exceeds the maximum dataset size limit of 1 MB, the scan completes and results are returned to the user. The LastEvaluatedKey
value is also returned and the requestor can use the LastEvaluatedKey
to continue the scan in a subsequent operation. Each scan response also includes number of items that were scanned (ScannedCount) as part of the request. If using a FilterExpression
, a scan result can result in no items meeting the criteria and the Count
will result in zero. If you did not use a FilterExpression
in the scan request, then Count
is the same as ScannedCount
.
Count
and ScannedCount
only return the count of items specific to a single scan request and, unless the table is less than 1MB, do not represent the total number of items in the table.
A single Scan
operation first reads up to the maximum number of items set (if using the Limit
parameter) or a maximum of 1 MB of data and then applies any filtering to the results if a FilterExpression
is provided. If LastEvaluatedKey
is present in the response, pagination is required to complete the full table scan. For more information, see Paginating the Results in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
Scan
operations proceed sequentially; however, for faster performance on a large table or secondary index, applications can request a parallel Scan
operation by providing the Segment
and TotalSegments
parameters. For more information, see Parallel Scan in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
By default, a Scan
uses eventually consistent reads when accessing the items in a table. Therefore, the results from an eventually consistent Scan
may not include the latest item changes at the time the scan iterates through each item in the table. If you require a strongly consistent read of each item as the scan iterates through the items in the table, you can set the ConsistentRead
parameter to true. Strong consistency only relates to the consistency of the read at the item level.
DynamoDB does not provide snapshot isolation for a scan operation when the ConsistentRead
parameter is set to true. Thus, a DynamoDB scan operation does not guarantee that all reads in a scan see a consistent snapshot of the table when the scan operation was requested.

Parameter Details
Members
- AttributesToGet
-
- Type: Array of strings
This is a legacy parameter. Use
ProjectionExpression
instead. For more information, see AttributesToGet in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - ConditionalOperator
-
- Type: string
This is a legacy parameter. Use
FilterExpression
instead. For more information, see ConditionalOperator in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - ConsistentRead
-
- Type: boolean
A Boolean value that determines the read consistency model during the scan:
-
If
ConsistentRead
isfalse
, then the data returned fromScan
might not contain the results from other recently completed write operations (PutItem
,UpdateItem
, orDeleteItem
). -
If
ConsistentRead
istrue
, then all of the write operations that completed before theScan
began are guaranteed to be contained in theScan
response.
The default setting for
ConsistentRead
isfalse
.The
ConsistentRead
parameter is not supported on global secondary indexes. If you scan a global secondary index withConsistentRead
set to true, you will receive aValidationException
. - ExclusiveStartKey
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to AttributeValue structures
The primary key of the first item that this operation will evaluate. Use the value that was returned for
LastEvaluatedKey
in the previous operation.The data type for
ExclusiveStartKey
must be String, Number or Binary. No set data types are allowed.In a parallel scan, a
Scan
request that includesExclusiveStartKey
must specify the same segment whose previousScan
returned the corresponding value ofLastEvaluatedKey
. - ExpressionAttributeNames
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (ExpressionAttributeNameVariable) to strings
One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.
-
To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.
-
To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.
Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:
-
Percentile
The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
{"#P":"Percentile"}
You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:
-
#P = :val
Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.
For more information on expression attribute names, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ExpressionAttributeValues
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (ExpressionAttributeValueVariable) to AttributeValue structures
One or more values that can be substituted in an expression.
Use the : (colon) character in an expression to dereference an attribute value. For example, suppose that you wanted to check whether the value of the
ProductStatus
attribute was one of the following:Available | Backordered | Discontinued
You would first need to specify
ExpressionAttributeValues
as follows:{ ":avail":{"S":"Available"}, ":back":{"S":"Backordered"}, ":disc":{"S":"Discontinued"} }
You could then use these values in an expression, such as this:
ProductStatus IN (:avail, :back, :disc)
For more information on expression attribute values, see Condition Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- FilterExpression
-
- Type: string
A string that contains conditions that DynamoDB applies after the
Scan
operation, but before the data is returned to you. Items that do not satisfy theFilterExpression
criteria are not returned.A
FilterExpression
is applied after the items have already been read; the process of filtering does not consume any additional read capacity units.For more information, see Filter Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- IndexName
-
- Type: string
The name of a secondary index to scan. This index can be any local secondary index or global secondary index. Note that if you use the
IndexName
parameter, you must also provideTableName
. - Limit
-
- Type: int
The maximum number of items to evaluate (not necessarily the number of matching items). If DynamoDB processes the number of items up to the limit while processing the results, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to that point, and a key in
LastEvaluatedKey
to apply in a subsequent operation, so that you can pick up where you left off. Also, if the processed dataset size exceeds 1 MB before DynamoDB reaches this limit, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to the limit, and a key inLastEvaluatedKey
to apply in a subsequent operation to continue the operation. For more information, see Working with Queries in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - ProjectionExpression
-
- Type: string
A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the specified table or index. These attributes can include scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the expression must be separated by commas.
If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes will be returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they will not appear in the result.
For more information, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ReturnConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: string
Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:
-
INDEXES
- The response includes the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation, together withConsumedCapacity
for each table and secondary index that was accessed.Note that some operations, such as
GetItem
andBatchGetItem
, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifyingINDEXES
will only returnConsumedCapacity
information for table(s). -
TOTAL
- The response includes only the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation. -
NONE
- NoConsumedCapacity
details are included in the response.
- ScanFilter
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to Condition structures
This is a legacy parameter. Use
FilterExpression
instead. For more information, see ScanFilter in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - Segment
-
- Type: int
For a parallel
Scan
request,Segment
identifies an individual segment to be scanned by an application worker.Segment IDs are zero-based, so the first segment is always 0. For example, if you want to use four application threads to scan a table or an index, then the first thread specifies a
Segment
value of 0, the second thread specifies 1, and so on.The value of
LastEvaluatedKey
returned from a parallelScan
request must be used asExclusiveStartKey
with the same segment ID in a subsequentScan
operation.The value for
Segment
must be greater than or equal to 0, and less than the value provided forTotalSegments
.If you provide
Segment
, you must also provideTotalSegments
. - Select
-
- Type: string
The attributes to be returned in the result. You can retrieve all item attributes, specific item attributes, the count of matching items, or in the case of an index, some or all of the attributes projected into the index.
-
ALL_ATTRIBUTES
- Returns all of the item attributes from the specified table or index. If you query a local secondary index, then for each matching item in the index, DynamoDB fetches the entire item from the parent table. If the index is configured to project all item attributes, then all of the data can be obtained from the local secondary index, and no fetching is required. -
ALL_PROJECTED_ATTRIBUTES
- Allowed only when querying an index. Retrieves all attributes that have been projected into the index. If the index is configured to project all attributes, this return value is equivalent to specifyingALL_ATTRIBUTES
. -
COUNT
- Returns the number of matching items, rather than the matching items themselves. Note that this uses the same quantity of read capacity units as getting the items, and is subject to the same item size calculations. -
SPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES
- Returns only the attributes listed inProjectionExpression
. This return value is equivalent to specifyingProjectionExpression
without specifying any value forSelect
.If you query or scan a local secondary index and request only attributes that are projected into that index, the operation reads only the index and not the table. If any of the requested attributes are not projected into the local secondary index, DynamoDB fetches each of these attributes from the parent table. This extra fetching incurs additional throughput cost and latency.
If you query or scan a global secondary index, you can only request attributes that are projected into the index. Global secondary index queries cannot fetch attributes from the parent table.
If neither
Select
norProjectionExpression
are specified, DynamoDB defaults toALL_ATTRIBUTES
when accessing a table, andALL_PROJECTED_ATTRIBUTES
when accessing an index. You cannot use bothSelect
andProjectionExpression
together in a single request, unless the value forSelect
isSPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES
. (This usage is equivalent to specifyingProjectionExpression
without any value forSelect
.)If you use the
ProjectionExpression
parameter, then the value forSelect
can only beSPECIFIC_ATTRIBUTES
. Any other value forSelect
will return an error. - TableName
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
The name of the table containing the requested items or if you provide
IndexName
, the name of the table to which that index belongs.You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.
- TotalSegments
-
- Type: int
For a parallel
Scan
request,TotalSegments
represents the total number of segments into which theScan
operation will be divided. The value ofTotalSegments
corresponds to the number of application workers that will perform the parallel scan. For example, if you want to use four application threads to scan a table or an index, specify aTotalSegments
value of 4.The value for
TotalSegments
must be greater than or equal to 1, and less than or equal to 1000000. If you specify aTotalSegments
value of 1, theScan
operation will be sequential rather than parallel.If you specify
TotalSegments
, you must also specifySegment
.

Members
- ConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: ConsumedCapacity structure
The capacity units consumed by the
Scan
operation. The data returned includes the total provisioned throughput consumed, along with statistics for the table and any indexes involved in the operation.ConsumedCapacity
is only returned if theReturnConsumedCapacity
parameter was specified. For more information, see Capacity unit consumption for read operations in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - Count
-
- Type: int
The number of items in the response.
If you set
ScanFilter
in the request, thenCount
is the number of items returned after the filter was applied, andScannedCount
is the number of matching items before the filter was applied.If you did not use a filter in the request, then
Count
is the same asScannedCount
. - Items
-
- Type: Array of AttributeValue structuress
An array of item attributes that match the scan criteria. Each element in this array consists of an attribute name and the value for that attribute.
- LastEvaluatedKey
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to AttributeValue structures
The primary key of the item where the operation stopped, inclusive of the previous result set. Use this value to start a new operation, excluding this value in the new request.
If
LastEvaluatedKey
is empty, then the "last page" of results has been processed and there is no more data to be retrieved.If
LastEvaluatedKey
is not empty, it does not necessarily mean that there is more data in the result set. The only way to know when you have reached the end of the result set is whenLastEvaluatedKey
is empty. - ScannedCount
-
- Type: int
The number of items evaluated, before any
ScanFilter
is applied. A highScannedCount
value with few, or no,Count
results indicates an inefficientScan
operation. For more information, see Count and ScannedCount in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.If you did not use a filter in the request, then
ScannedCount
is the same asCount
.
Errors

TagResource
is an asynchronous operation. If you issue a ListTagsOfResource request immediately after aTagResource
request, DynamoDB might return your previous tag set, if there was one, or an empty tag set. This is becauseListTagsOfResource
uses an eventually consistent query, and the metadata for your tags or table might not be available at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then try theListTagsOfResource
request again. -
The application or removal of tags using
TagResource
andUntagResource
APIs is eventually consistent.ListTagsOfResource
API will only reflect the changes after a few seconds.
For an overview on tagging DynamoDB resources, see Tagging for DynamoDB in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Errors
- LimitExceededException:
There is no limit to the number of daily on-demand backups that can be taken.
For most purposes, up to 500 simultaneous table operations are allowed per account. These operations include
CreateTable
,UpdateTable
,DeleteTable
,UpdateTimeToLive
,RestoreTableFromBackup
, andRestoreTableToPointInTime
.When you are creating a table with one or more secondary indexes, you can have up to 250 such requests running at a time. However, if the table or index specifications are complex, then DynamoDB might temporarily reduce the number of concurrent operations.
When importing into DynamoDB, up to 50 simultaneous import table operations are allowed per account.
There is a soft account quota of 2,500 tables.
GetRecords was called with a value of more than 1000 for the limit request parameter.
More than 2 processes are reading from the same streams shard at the same time. Exceeding this limit may result in request throttling.
- ResourceNotFoundException:
The operation tried to access a nonexistent table or index. The resource might not be specified correctly, or its status might not be
ACTIVE
.- InternalServerError:
An error occurred on the server side.
- ResourceInUseException:
The operation conflicts with the resource's availability. For example:
-
You attempted to recreate an existing table.
-
You tried to delete a table currently in the
CREATING
state. -
You tried to update a resource that was already being updated.
When appropriate, wait for the ongoing update to complete and attempt the request again.

TransactGetItems
$result = $client->transactGetItems
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->transactGetItemsAsync
([/* ... */]);
TransactGetItems
is a synchronous operation that atomically retrieves multiple items from one or more tables (but not from indexes) in a single account and Region. A TransactGetItems
call can contain up to 100 TransactGetItem
objects, each of which contains a Get
structure that specifies an item to retrieve from a table in the account and Region. A call to TransactGetItems
cannot retrieve items from tables in more than one Amazon Web Services account or Region. The aggregate size of the items in the transaction cannot exceed 4 MB.
DynamoDB rejects the entire TransactGetItems
request if any of the following is true:
-
A conflicting operation is in the process of updating an item to be read.
-
There is insufficient provisioned capacity for the transaction to be completed.
-
There is a user error, such as an invalid data format.
-
The aggregate size of the items in the transaction exceeded 4 MB.

TransactWriteItems
is a synchronous write operation that groups up to 100 action requests. These actions can target items in different tables, but not in different Amazon Web Services accounts or Regions, and no two actions can target the same item. For example, you cannot both ConditionCheck
and Update
the same item. The aggregate size of the items in the transaction cannot exceed 4 MB.
The actions are completed atomically so that either all of them succeed, or all of them fail. They are defined by the following objects:
-
Put
 —  Initiates aPutItem
operation to write a new item. This structure specifies the primary key of the item to be written, the name of the table to write it in, an optional condition expression that must be satisfied for the write to succeed, a list of the item's attributes, and a field indicating whether to retrieve the item's attributes if the condition is not met. -
Update
 —  Initiates anUpdateItem
operation to update an existing item. This structure specifies the primary key of the item to be updated, the name of the table where it resides, an optional condition expression that must be satisfied for the update to succeed, an expression that defines one or more attributes to be updated, and a field indicating whether to retrieve the item's attributes if the condition is not met. -
Delete
 —  Initiates aDeleteItem
operation to delete an existing item. This structure specifies the primary key of the item to be deleted, the name of the table where it resides, an optional condition expression that must be satisfied for the deletion to succeed, and a field indicating whether to retrieve the item's attributes if the condition is not met. -
ConditionCheck
 —  Applies a condition to an item that is not being modified by the transaction. This structure specifies the primary key of the item to be checked, the name of the table where it resides, a condition expression that must be satisfied for the transaction to succeed, and a field indicating whether to retrieve the item's attributes if the condition is not met.
DynamoDB rejects the entire TransactWriteItems
request if any of the following is true:
-
A condition in one of the condition expressions is not met.
-
An ongoing operation is in the process of updating the same item.
-
There is insufficient provisioned capacity for the transaction to be completed.
-
An item size becomes too large (bigger than 400 KB), a local secondary index (LSI) becomes too large, or a similar validation error occurs because of changes made by the transaction.
-
The aggregate size of the items in the transaction exceeds 4 MB.
-

Parameter Details
Members
- ClientRequestToken
-
- Type: string
Providing a
ClientRequestToken
makes the call toTransactWriteItems
idempotent, meaning that multiple identical calls have the same effect as one single call.Although multiple identical calls using the same client request token produce the same result on the server (no side effects), the responses to the calls might not be the same. If the
ReturnConsumedCapacity
parameter is set, then the initialTransactWriteItems
call returns the amount of write capacity units consumed in making the changes. SubsequentTransactWriteItems
calls with the same client token return the number of read capacity units consumed in reading the item.A client request token is valid for 10 minutes after the first request that uses it is completed. After 10 minutes, any request with the same client token is treated as a new request. Do not resubmit the same request with the same client token for more than 10 minutes, or the result might not be idempotent.
If you submit a request with the same client token but a change in other parameters within the 10-minute idempotency window, DynamoDB returns an
IdempotentParameterMismatch
exception. - ReturnConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: string
Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:
-
INDEXES
- The response includes the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation, together withConsumedCapacity
for each table and secondary index that was accessed.Note that some operations, such as
GetItem
andBatchGetItem
, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifyingINDEXES
will only returnConsumedCapacity
information for table(s). -
TOTAL
- The response includes only the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation. -
NONE
- NoConsumedCapacity
details are included in the response.
- ReturnItemCollectionMetrics
-
- Type: string
Determines whether item collection metrics are returned. If set to
SIZE
, the response includes statistics about item collections (if any), that were modified during the operation and are returned in the response. If set toNONE
(the default), no statistics are returned. - TransactItems
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: Array of TransactWriteItem structures
An ordered array of up to 100
TransactWriteItem
objects, each of which contains aConditionCheck
,Put
,Update
, orDelete
object. These can operate on items in different tables, but the tables must reside in the same Amazon Web Services account and Region, and no two of them can operate on the same item.

- TransactionInProgressException:

Recommended Settings
This is a general recommendation for handling the
TransactionInProgressException
. These settings help ensure that the client retries will trigger completion of the ongoingTransactWriteItems
request.-
Set
clientExecutionTimeout
to a value that allows at least one retry to be processed after 5 seconds have elapsed since the first attempt for theTransactWriteItems
operation. -
Set
socketTimeout
to a value a little lower than therequestTimeout
setting. -
requestTimeout
should be set based on the time taken for the individual retries of a single HTTP request for your use case, but setting it to 1 second or higher should work well to reduce chances of retries andTransactionInProgressException
errors. -
Use exponential backoff when retrying and tune backoff if needed.
Assuming default retry policy, example timeout settings based on the guidelines above are as follows:
Example timeline:
-
0-1000 first attempt
-
1000-1500 first sleep/delay (default retry policy uses 500 ms as base delay for 4xx errors)
-
1500-2500 second attempt
-
2500-3500 second sleep/delay (500 * 2, exponential backoff)
-
3500-4500 third attempt
-
4500-6500 third sleep/delay (500 * 2^2)
-
6500-7500 fourth attempt (this can trigger inline recovery since 5 seconds have elapsed since the first attempt reached TC)
-
- IdempotentParameterMismatchException:
DynamoDB rejected the request because you retried a request with a different payload but with an idempotent token that was already used.

is an asynchronous operation. If you issue a ListTagsOfResource request immediately after anUntagResource
request, DynamoDB might return your previous tag set, if there was one, or an empty tag set. This is becauseListTagsOfResource
uses an eventually consistent query, and the metadata for your tags or table might not be available at that moment. Wait for a few seconds, and then try theListTagsOfResource
request again. -
The application or removal of tags using
TagResource
andUntagResource
APIs is eventually consistent.ListTagsOfResource
API will only reflect the changes after a few seconds.
For an overview on tagging DynamoDB resources, see Tagging for DynamoDB in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
Parameter Syntax
$result = $client->untagResource([ 'ResourceArn' => '<string>', // REQUIRED 'TagKeys' => ['<string>', ...], // REQUIRED ]);

UpdateGlobalTable
$result = $client->updateGlobalTable
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->updateGlobalTableAsync
([/* ... */]);
Adds or removes replicas in the specified global table. The global table must already exist to be able to use this operation. Any replica to be added must be empty, have the same name as the global table, have the same key schema, have DynamoDB Streams enabled, and have the same provisioned and maximum write capacity units.
This documentation is for version 2017.11.29 (Legacy) of global tables, which should be avoided for new global tables. Customers should use Global Tables version 2019.11.21 (Current) when possible, because it provides greater flexibility, higher efficiency, and consumes less write capacity than 2017.11.29 (Legacy).
To determine which version you're using, see Determining the global table version you are using. To update existing global tables from version 2017.11.29 (Legacy) to version 2019.11.21 (Current), see Upgrading global tables.
For global tables, this operation only applies to global tables using Version 2019.11.21 (Current version). If you are using global tables Version 2019.11.21 you can use UpdateTable instead.
Although you can use UpdateGlobalTable
to add replicas and remove replicas in a single request, for simplicity we recommend that you issue separate requests for adding or removing replicas.
If global secondary indexes are specified, then the following conditions must also be met:
-
The global secondary indexes must have the same name.
-
The global secondary indexes must have the same hash key and sort key (if present).
-
The global secondary indexes must have the same provisioned and maximum write capacity units.

- AttributeUpdates
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to AttributeValueUpdate structures
This is a legacy parameter. Use
UpdateExpression
instead. For more information, see AttributeUpdates in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - ConditionExpression
-
- Type: string
A condition that must be satisfied in order for a conditional update to succeed.
An expression can contain any of the following:
-
Functions:
attribute_exists | attribute_not_exists | attribute_type | contains | begins_with | size
These function names are case-sensitive.
-
Comparison operators:
= | <> | < | > | <= | >= | BETWEEN | IN
-
Logical operators:
AND | OR | NOT
For more information about condition expressions, see Specifying Conditions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ConditionalOperator
-
- Type: string
This is a legacy parameter. Use
ConditionExpression
instead. For more information, see ConditionalOperator in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - Expected
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to ExpectedAttributeValue structures
This is a legacy parameter. Use
ConditionExpression
instead. For more information, see Expected in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. - ExpressionAttributeNames
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (ExpressionAttributeNameVariable) to strings
One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.
-
To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.
-
To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.
Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:
-
Percentile
The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.) To work around this, you could specify the following for
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
{"#P":"Percentile"}
You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:
-
#P = :val
Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.
For more information about expression attribute names, see Specifying Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ExpressionAttributeValues
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (ExpressionAttributeValueVariable) to AttributeValue structures
One or more values that can be substituted in an expression.
Use the : (colon) character in an expression to dereference an attribute value. For example, suppose that you wanted to check whether the value of the
ProductStatus
attribute was one of the following:Available | Backordered | Discontinued
You would first need to specify
ExpressionAttributeValues
as follows:{ ":avail":{"S":"Available"}, ":back":{"S":"Backordered"}, ":disc":{"S":"Discontinued"} }
You could then use these values in an expression, such as this:
ProductStatus IN (:avail, :back, :disc)
For more information on expression attribute values, see Condition Expressions in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- Key
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (AttributeName) to AttributeValue structures
The primary key of the item to be updated. Each element consists of an attribute name and a value for that attribute.
For the primary key, you must provide all of the attributes. For example, with a simple primary key, you only need to provide a value for the partition key. For a composite primary key, you must provide values for both the partition key and the sort key.
- ReturnConsumedCapacity
-
- Type: string
Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:
-
INDEXES
- The response includes the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation, together withConsumedCapacity
for each table and secondary index that was accessed.Note that some operations, such as
GetItem
andBatchGetItem
, do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifyingINDEXES
will only returnConsumedCapacity
information for table(s). -
TOTAL
- The response includes only the aggregateConsumedCapacity
for the operation. -
NONE
- NoConsumedCapacity
details are included in the response.
- ReturnItemCollectionMetrics
-
- Type: string
Determines whether item collection metrics are returned. If set to
SIZE
, the response includes statistics about item collections, if any, that were modified during the operation are returned in the response. If set toNONE
(the default), no statistics are returned. - ReturnValues
-
- Type: string
Use
ReturnValues
if you want to get the item attributes as they appear before or after they are successfully updated. ForUpdateItem
, the valid values are:-
NONE
- IfReturnValues
is not specified, or if its value isNONE
, then nothing is returned. (This setting is the default forReturnValues
.) -
ALL_OLD
- Returns all of the attributes of the item, as they appeared before the UpdateItem operation. -
UPDATED_OLD
- Returns only the updated attributes, as they appeared before the UpdateItem operation. -
ALL_NEW
- Returns all of the attributes of the item, as they appear after the UpdateItem operation. -
UPDATED_NEW
- Returns only the updated attributes, as they appear after the UpdateItem operation.
There is no additional cost associated with requesting a return value aside from the small network and processing overhead of receiving a larger response. No read capacity units are consumed.
The values returned are strongly consistent.
- ReturnValuesOnConditionCheckFailure
-
- Type: string
An optional parameter that returns the item attributes for an
UpdateItem
operation that failed a condition check.There is no additional cost associated with requesting a return value aside from the small network and processing overhead of receiving a larger response. No read capacity units are consumed.
- TableName
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
The name of the table containing the item to update. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.
- UpdateExpression
-
- Type: string
An expression that defines one or more attributes to be updated, the action to be performed on them, and new values for them.
The following action values are available for
UpdateExpression
.-
SET
- Adds one or more attributes and values to an item. If any of these attributes already exist, they are replaced by the new values. You can also useSET
to add or subtract from an attribute that is of type Number. For example:SET myNum = myNum + :val
SET
supports the following functions:-
if_not_exists (path, operand)
- if the item does not contain an attribute at the specified path, thenif_not_exists
evaluates to operand; otherwise, it evaluates to path. You can use this function to avoid overwriting an attribute that may already be present in the item. -
list_append (operand, operand)
- evaluates to a list with a new element added to it. You can append the new element to the start or the end of the list by reversing the order of the operands.
These function names are case-sensitive.
-
-
REMOVE
- Removes one or more attributes from an item. -
ADD
- Adds the specified value to the item, if the attribute does not already exist. If the attribute does exist, then the behavior ofADD
depends on the data type of the attribute:-
If the existing attribute is a number, and if
Value
is also a number, thenValue
is mathematically added to the existing attribute. IfValue
is a negative number, then it is subtracted from the existing attribute.If you use
ADD
to increment or decrement a number value for an item that doesn't exist before the update, DynamoDB uses0
as the initial value.Similarly, if you use
ADD
for an existing item to increment or decrement an attribute value that doesn't exist before the update, DynamoDB uses0
as the initial value. For example, suppose that the item you want to update doesn't have an attribute nameditemcount
, but you decide toADD
the number3
to this attribute anyway. DynamoDB will create theitemcount
attribute, set its initial value to0
, and finally add3
to it. The result will be a newitemcount
attribute in the item, with a value of3
. -
If the existing data type is a set and if
Value
is also a set, thenValue
is added to the existing set. For example, if the attribute value is the set[1,2]
, and theADD
action specified[3]
, then the final attribute value is[1,2,3]
. An error occurs if anADD
action is specified for a set attribute and the attribute type specified does not match the existing set type.Both sets must have the same primitive data type. For example, if the existing data type is a set of strings, the
Value
must also be a set of strings.
The
ADD
action only supports Number and set data types. In addition,ADD
can only be used on top-level attributes, not nested attributes. -
-
DELETE
- Deletes an element from a set.If a set of values is specified, then those values are subtracted from the old set. For example, if the attribute value was the set
[a,b,c]
and theDELETE
action specifies[a,c]
, then the final attribute value is[b]
. Specifying an empty set is an error.The
DELETE
action only supports set data types. In addition,DELETE
can only be used on top-level attributes, not nested attributes.
You can have many actions in a single expression, such as the following:
SET a=:value1, b=:value2 DELETE :value3, :value4, :value5

UpdateTable
$result = $client->updateTable
([/* ... */]); $promise = $client->updateTableAsync
([/* ... */]);
Modifies the provisioned throughput settings, global secondary indexes, or DynamoDB Streams settings for a given table.
For global tables, this operation only applies to global tables using Version 2019.11.21 (Current version).
You can only perform one of the following operations at once:
-
Modify the provisioned throughput settings of the table.
-
Remove a global secondary index from the table.
-
Create a new global secondary index on the table. After the index begins backfilling, you can use
UpdateTable
to perform other operations.
UpdateTable
is an asynchronous operation; while it's executing, the table status changes from ACTIVE
to UPDATING
. While it's UPDATING
, you can't issue another UpdateTable
request. When the table returns to the ACTIVE
state, the UpdateTable
operation is complete.

TTL compares the current time in epoch time format to the time stored in the TTL attribute of an item. If the epoch time value stored in the attribute is less than the current time, the item is marked as expired and subsequently deleted.
The epoch time format is the number of seconds elapsed since 12:00:00 AM January 1, 1970 UTC.
DynamoDB deletes expired items on a best-effort basis to ensure availability of throughput for other data operations.
DynamoDB typically deletes expired items within two days of expiration. The exact duration within which an item gets deleted after expiration is specific to the nature of the workload. Items that have expired and not been deleted will still show up in reads, queries, and scans.
As items are deleted, they are removed from any local secondary index and global secondary index immediately in the same eventually consistent way as a standard delete operation.
For more information, see Time To Live in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

Errors
- ResourceInUseException:
The operation conflicts with the resource's availability. For example:
-
You attempted to recreate an existing table.
-
You tried to delete a table currently in the
CREATING
state. -
You tried to update a resource that was already being updated.
When appropriate, wait for the ongoing update to complete and attempt the request again.
-
- ResourceNotFoundException:
The operation tried to access a nonexistent table or index. The resource might not be specified correctly, or its status might not be
ACTIVE
.- LimitExceededException:
There is no limit to the number of daily on-demand backups that can be taken.
For most purposes, up to 500 simultaneous table operations are allowed per account. These operations include
CreateTable
,UpdateTable
,DeleteTable
,UpdateTimeToLive
,RestoreTableFromBackup
, andRestoreTableToPointInTime
.When you are creating a table with one or more secondary indexes, you can have up to 250 such requests running at a time. However, if the table or index specifications are complex, then DynamoDB might temporarily reduce the number of concurrent operations.
When importing into DynamoDB, up to 50 simultaneous import table operations are allowed per account.
There is a soft account quota of 2,500 tables.
GetRecords was called with a value of more than 1000 for the limit request parameter.
More than 2 processes are reading from the same streams shard at the same time. Exceeding this limit may result in request throttling.
- InternalServerError:
An error occurred on the server side.

AttributeValueUpdate
Description
For the UpdateItem
operation, represents the attributes to be modified, the action to perform on each, and the new value for each.
You cannot use UpdateItem
to update any primary key attributes. Instead, you will need to delete the item, and then use PutItem
to create a new item with new attributes.
Attribute values cannot be null; string and binary type attributes must have lengths greater than zero; and set type attributes must not be empty. Requests with empty values will be rejected with a ValidationException
exception.
Members
- Action
-
- Type: string
Specifies how to perform the update. Valid values are
PUT
(default),DELETE
, andADD
. The behavior depends on whether the specified primary key already exists in the table.If an item with the specified Key is found in the table:
-
PUT
- Adds the specified attribute to the item. If the attribute already exists, it is replaced by the new value. -
DELETE
- If no value is specified, the attribute and its value are removed from the item. The data type of the specified value must match the existing value's data type.If a set of values is specified, then those values are subtracted from the old set. For example, if the attribute value was the set
[a,b,c]
and theDELETE
action specified[a,c]
, then the final attribute value would be[b]
. Specifying an empty set is an error. -
ADD
- If the attribute does not already exist, then the attribute and its values are added to the item. If the attribute does exist, then the behavior ofADD
depends on the data type of the attribute:-
If the existing attribute is a number, and if
Value
is also a number, then theValue
is mathematically added to the existing attribute. IfValue
is a negative number, then it is subtracted from the existing attribute.If you use
ADD
to increment or decrement a number value for an item that doesn't exist before the update, DynamoDB uses 0 as the initial value.In addition, if you use
ADD
to update an existing item, and intend to increment or decrement an attribute value which does not yet exist, DynamoDB uses0
as the initial value. For example, suppose that the item you want to update does not yet have an attribute named itemcount, but you decide toADD
the number3
to this attribute anyway, even though it currently does not exist. DynamoDB will create the itemcount attribute, set its initial value to0
, and finally add3
to it. The result will be a new itemcount attribute in the item, with a value of3
. -
If the existing data type is a set, and if the
Value
is also a set, then theValue
is added to the existing set. (This is a set operation, not mathematical addition.) For example, if the attribute value was the set[1,2]
, and theADD
action specified[3]
, then the final attribute value would be[1,2,3]
. An error occurs if an Add action is specified for a set attribute and the attribute type specified does not match the existing set type.Both sets must have the same primitive data type. For example, if the existing data type is a set of strings, the
Value
must also be a set of strings. The same holds true for number sets and binary sets.
This action is only valid for an existing attribute whose data type is number or is a set. Do not use
ADD
for any other data types. -
If no item with the specified Key is found:
-
PUT
- DynamoDB creates a new item with the specified primary key, and then adds the attribute. -
DELETE
- Nothing happens; there is no attribute to delete. -
ADD
- DynamoDB creates a new item with the supplied primary key and number (or set) for the attribute value. The only data types allowed are number, number set, string set or binary set.
- Value
-
- Type: AttributeValue structure
Represents the data for an attribute.
Each attribute value is described as a name-value pair. The name is the data type, and the value is the data itself.

Members
- AttributeValueList
-
- Type: Array of AttributeValue structures
One or more values to evaluate against the supplied attribute. The number of values in the list depends on the
ComparisonOperator
being used.For type Number, value comparisons are numeric.
String value comparisons for greater than, equals, or less than are based on ASCII character code values. For example,
a
is greater thanA
, anda
is greater thanB
. For a list of code values, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters.For Binary, DynamoDB treats each byte of the binary data as unsigned when it compares binary values.
- ComparisonOperator
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
A comparator for evaluating attributes. For example, equals, greater than, less than, etc.
The following comparison operators are available:
EQ | NE | LE | LT | GE | GT | NOT_NULL | NULL | CONTAINS | NOT_CONTAINS | BEGINS_WITH | IN | BETWEEN
The following are descriptions of each comparison operator.
-
EQ
: Equal.EQ
is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
element of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains anAttributeValue
element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not equal{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}
does not equal{"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
. -
NE
: Not equal.NE
is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains anAttributeValue
of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not equal{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}
does not equal{"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
. -
LE
: Less than or equal.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains anAttributeValue
element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not equal{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}
does not compare to{"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
. -
LT
: Less than.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains anAttributeValue
element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not equal{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}
does not compare to{"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
. -
GE
: Greater than or equal.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains anAttributeValue
element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not equal{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}
does not compare to{"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
. -
GT
: Greater than.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains anAttributeValue
element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not equal{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}
does not compare to{"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
. -
NOT_NULL
: The attribute exists.NOT_NULL
is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.This operator tests for the existence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "
a
" is null, and you evaluate it usingNOT_NULL
, the result is a Booleantrue
. This result is because the attribute "a
" exists; its data type is not relevant to theNOT_NULL
comparison operator. -
NULL
: The attribute does not exist.NULL
is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.This operator tests for the nonexistence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "
a
" is null, and you evaluate it usingNULL
, the result is a Booleanfalse
. This is because the attribute "a
" exists; its data type is not relevant to theNULL
comparison operator. -
CONTAINS
: Checks for a subsequence, or value in a set.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is of type String, then the operator checks for a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is of type Binary, then the operator looks for a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS
", "NS
", or "BS
"), then the operator evaluates to true if it finds an exact match with any member of the set.CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "
a CONTAINS b
", "a
" can be a list; however, "b
" cannot be a set, a map, or a list. -
NOT_CONTAINS
: Checks for absence of a subsequence, or absence of a value in a set.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is a String, then the operator checks for the absence of a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is Binary, then the operator checks for the absence of a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS
", "NS
", or "BS
"), then the operator evaluates to true if it does not find an exact match with any member of the set.NOT_CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "
a NOT CONTAINS b
", "a
" can be a list; however, "b
" cannot be a set, a map, or a list. -
BEGINS_WITH
: Checks for a prefix.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type). The target attribute of the comparison must be of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type). -
IN
: Checks for matching elements in a list.AttributeValueList
can contain one or moreAttributeValue
elements of type String, Number, or Binary. These attributes are compared against an existing attribute of an item. If any elements of the input are equal to the item attribute, the expression evaluates to true. -
BETWEEN
: Greater than or equal to the first value, and less than or equal to the second value.AttributeValueList
must contain twoAttributeValue
elements of the same type, either String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). A target attribute matches if the target value is greater than, or equal to, the first element and less than, or equal to, the second element. If an item contains anAttributeValue
element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not compare to{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}

ExpectedAttributeValue
Description
Represents a condition to be compared with an attribute value. This condition can be used with DeleteItem

in one of two different ways:
-
Use
AttributeValueList
to specify one or more values to compare against an attribute. UseComparisonOperator
to specify how you want to perform the comparison. If the comparison evaluates to true, then the conditional operation succeeds. -
Use
Value
to specify a value that DynamoDB will compare against an attribute. If the values match, thenExpectedAttributeValue
evaluates to true and the conditional operation succeeds. Optionally, you can also setExists
to false, indicating that you do not expect to find the attribute value in the table. In this case, the conditional operation succeeds only if the comparison evaluates to false.
Value
and Exists
are incompatible with AttributeValueList
and ComparisonOperator
. Note that if you use both sets of parameters at once, DynamoDB will return a ValidationException
exception.
Members
- AttributeValueList
-
- Type: Array of AttributeValue structures
One or more values to evaluate against the supplied attribute. The number of values in the list depends on the
ComparisonOperator
being used.For type Number, value comparisons are numeric.
String value comparisons for greater than, equals, or less than are based on ASCII character code values. For example,
a
is greater thanA
, anda
is greater thanB
. For a list of code values, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printable_characters.For Binary, DynamoDB treats each byte of the binary data as unsigned when it compares binary values.
For information on specifying data types in JSON, see JSON Data Format in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- ComparisonOperator
-
- Type: string
A comparator for evaluating attributes in the
AttributeValueList
. For example, equals, greater than, less than, etc.The following comparison operators are available:
EQ | NE | LE | LT | GE | GT | NOT_NULL | NULL | CONTAINS | NOT_CONTAINS | BEGINS_WITH | IN | BETWEEN
The following are descriptions of each comparison operator.
-
EQ
: Equal.EQ
is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
element of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains anAttributeValue
element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not equal{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}
does not equal{"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
. -
NE
: Not equal.NE
is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an item contains anAttributeValue
of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not equal{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}
does not equal{"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
. -
LE
: Less than or equal.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains anAttributeValue
element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not equal{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}
does not compare to{"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
. -
LT
: Less than.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains anAttributeValue
element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not equal{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}
does not compare to{"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
. -
GE
: Greater than or equal.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains anAttributeValue
element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not equal{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}
does not compare to{"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
. -
GT
: Greater than.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains anAttributeValue
element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not equal{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}
does not compare to{"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
. -
NOT_NULL
: The attribute exists.NOT_NULL
is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.This operator tests for the existence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "
a
" is null, and you evaluate it usingNOT_NULL
, the result is a Booleantrue
. This result is because the attribute "a
" exists; its data type is not relevant to theNOT_NULL
comparison operator. -
NULL
: The attribute does not exist.NULL
is supported for all data types, including lists and maps.This operator tests for the nonexistence of an attribute, not its data type. If the data type of attribute "
a
" is null, and you evaluate it usingNULL
, the result is a Booleanfalse
. This is because the attribute "a
" exists; its data type is not relevant to theNULL
comparison operator. -
CONTAINS
: Checks for a subsequence, or value in a set.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is of type String, then the operator checks for a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is of type Binary, then the operator looks for a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS
", "NS
", or "BS
"), then the operator evaluates to true if it finds an exact match with any member of the set.CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "
a CONTAINS b
", "a
" can be a list; however, "b
" cannot be a set, a map, or a list. -
NOT_CONTAINS
: Checks for absence of a subsequence, or absence of a value in a set.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target attribute of the comparison is a String, then the operator checks for the absence of a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is Binary, then the operator checks for the absence of a subsequence of the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set ("SS
", "NS
", or "BS
"), then the operator evaluates to true if it does not find an exact match with any member of the set.NOT_CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating "
a NOT CONTAINS b
", "a
" can be a list; however, "b
" cannot be a set, a map, or a list. -
BEGINS_WITH
: Checks for a prefix.AttributeValueList
can contain only oneAttributeValue
of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type). The target attribute of the comparison must be of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type). -
IN
: Checks for matching elements in a list.AttributeValueList
can contain one or moreAttributeValue
elements of type String, Number, or Binary. These attributes are compared against an existing attribute of an item. If any elements of the input are equal to the item attribute, the expression evaluates to true. -
BETWEEN
: Greater than or equal to the first value, and less than or equal to the second value.AttributeValueList
must contain twoAttributeValue
elements of the same type, either String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). A target attribute matches if the target value is greater than, or equal to, the first element and less than, or equal to, the second element. If an item contains anAttributeValue
element of a different type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example,{"S":"6"}
does not compare to{"N":"6"}
. Also,{"N":"6"}
does not compare to{"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}
- Exists
-
- Type: boolean
Causes DynamoDB to evaluate the value before attempting a conditional operation:
-
If
Exists
istrue
, DynamoDB will check to see if that attribute value already exists in the table. If it is found, then the operation succeeds. If it is not found, the operation fails with aConditionCheckFailedException
. -
If
Exists
isfalse
, DynamoDB assumes that the attribute value does not exist in the table. If in fact the value does not exist, then the assumption is valid and the operation succeeds. If the value is found, despite the assumption that it does not exist, the operation fails with aConditionCheckFailedException
.
The default setting for
Exists
istrue
. If you supply aValue
all by itself, DynamoDB assumes the attribute exists: You don't have to setExists
totrue
, because it is implied.DynamoDB returns a
ValidationException
if:-
Exists
istrue
but there is noValue
to check. (You expect a value to exist, but don't specify what that value is.) -
Exists
isfalse
but you also provide aValue
. (You cannot expect an attribute to have a value, while also expecting it not to exist.)
- Value
-
- Type: AttributeValue structure
Represents the data for the expected attribute.
Each attribute value is described as a name-value pair. The name is the data type, and the value is the data itself.

KeySchemaElement
Description
Represents a single element of a key schema. A key schema specifies the attributes that make up the primary key of a table, or the key attributes of an index.
A KeySchemaElement
represents exactly one attribute of the primary key. For example, a simple primary key would be represented by one KeySchemaElement
(for the partition key). A composite primary key would require one KeySchemaElement
for the partition key, and another KeySchemaElement
for the sort key.
A KeySchemaElement
must be a scalar, top-level attribute (not a nested attribute). The data type must be one of String, Number, or Binary. The attribute cannot be nested within a List or a Map.
Members
- AttributeName
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
The name of a key attribute.
- KeyType
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: string
The role that this key attribute will assume:
-
HASH
- partition key -
RANGE
- sort key
The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.
The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.
KeysAndAttributes
Description
Represents a set of primary keys and, for each key, the attributes to retrieve from the table.
For each primary key, you must provide all of the key attributes. For example, with a simple primary key, you only need to provide the partition key. For a composite primary key, you must provide both the partition key and the sort key.
Members
- AttributesToGet
-
- Type: Array of strings
This is a legacy parameter. Use

-
- Type: boolean
The consistency of a read operation. If set to
true
, then a strongly consistent read is used; otherwise, an eventually consistent read is used. - ExpressionAttributeNames
-
- Type: Associative array of custom strings keys (ExpressionAttributeNameVariable) to strings
One or more substitution tokens for attribute names in an expression. The following are some use cases for using
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
To access an attribute whose name conflicts with a DynamoDB reserved word.
-
To create a placeholder for repeating occurrences of an attribute name in an expression.
-
To prevent special characters in an attribute name from being misinterpreted in an expression.
Use the # character in an expression to dereference an attribute name. For example, consider the following attribute name:
-
Percentile
The name of this attribute conflicts with a reserved word, so it cannot be used directly in an expression. (For the complete list of reserved words, see Reserved Words in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide). To work around this, you could specify the following for
ExpressionAttributeNames
:-
{"#P":"Percentile"}
You could then use this substitution in an expression, as in this example:
-
#P = :val
Tokens that begin with the : character are expression attribute values, which are placeholders for the actual value at runtime.
For more information on expression attribute names, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
- Keys
-
- Required: Yes
- Type: Array of AttributeValue structuress
The primary key attribute values that define the items and the attributes associated with the items.
- ProjectionExpression
-
- Type: string
A string that identifies one or more attributes to retrieve from the table. These attributes can include scalars, sets, or elements of a JSON document. The attributes in the
ProjectionExpression
must be separated by commas.If no attribute names are specified, then all attributes will be returned. If any of the requested attributes are not found, they will not appear in the result.
For more information, see Accessing Item Attributes in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

LimitExceededException
Description
There is no limit to the number of daily on-demand backups that can be taken.
For most purposes, up to 500 simultaneous table operations are allowed per account. These operations include CreateTable
, UpdateTable
, DeleteTable
,UpdateTimeToLive
, RestoreTableFromBackup
, and RestoreTableToPointInTime
.
When you are creating a table with one or more secondary indexes, you can have up to 250 such requests running at a time. However, if the table or index specifications are complex, then DynamoDB might temporarily reduce the number of concurrent operations.
When importing into DynamoDB, up to 50 simultaneous import table operations are allowed per account.
There is a soft account quota of 2,500 tables.
GetRecords was called with a value of more than 1000 for the limit request parameter.
More than 2 processes are reading from the same streams shard at the same time. Exceeding this limit may result in request throttling.
