AWS CLI version 2, the latest major version of AWS CLI, is now stable and recommended for general use. To view this page for the AWS CLI version 2, click here. For more information see the AWS CLI version 2 installation instructions and migration guide.
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
.

(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.
For more information, see Data Types in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

--consistent-read
| --no-consistent-read
(boolean)
The consistency of a read operation. If set totrue
, then a strongly consistent read is used; otherwise, an eventually consistent read is used.
--next-token
(string)
Set this value to get remaining results, ifNextToken
was returned in the statement response.
--return-consumed-capacity
(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 asGetItem
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.Possible values:
INDEXES
TOTAL
NONE
--limit
(integer)
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 inLastEvaluatedKey
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.
--return-values-on-condition-check-failure
(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.
Possible values:
ALL_OLD
NONE
--cli-input-json
(string)
Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
--debug
(boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url
(string)
Override command's default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl
(boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate
(boolean)
Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.
--output
(string)
The formatting style for command output.
--query
(string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile
(string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region
(string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version
(string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color
(string)
Turn on/off color output.
--no-sign-request
(boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle
(string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
Items -> (list)
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.
