Query a DynamoDB table by using batches of PartiQL statements and an AWS SDK

The following code examples show how to:

• Get a batch of items by running multiple SELECT statements.

• Add a batch of items by running multiple INSERT statements.

• Update a batch of items by running multiple UPDATE statements.

• Delete a batch of items by running multiple DELETE statements.
