Example 1: To update an item in a table
The following
update-item
example updates an item in theMusicCollection
table. It adds a new attribute (Year
) and modifies theAlbumTitle
attribute. All of the attributes in the item, as they appear after the update, are returned in the response.aws dynamodb update-item \ --table-name
MusicCollection
\ --keyfile://key.json
\ --update-expression"SET #Y = :y, #AT = :t"
\ --expression-attribute-namesfile://expression-attribute-names.json
\ --expression-attribute-valuesfile://expression-attribute-values.json
\ --return-valuesALL_NEW
\ --return-consumed-capacityTOTAL
\ --return-item-collection-metricsSIZE
Contents of
key.json
:{ "Artist": {"S": "Acme Band"}, "SongTitle": {"S": "Happy Day"} }
Contents of
expression-attribute-names.json
:{ "#Y":"Year", "#AT":"AlbumTitle" }
Contents of
expression-attribute-values.json
:{ ":y":{"N": "2015"}, ":t":{"S": "Louder Than Ever"} }
Output:
{ "Attributes": { "AlbumTitle": { "S": "Louder Than Ever" }, "Awards": { "N": "10" }, "Artist": { "S": "Acme Band" }, "Year": { "N": "2015" }, "SongTitle": { "S": "Happy Day" } }, "ConsumedCapacity": { "TableName": "MusicCollection", "CapacityUnits": 3.0 }, "ItemCollectionMetrics": { "ItemCollectionKey": { "Artist": { "S": "Acme Band" } }, "SizeEstimateRangeGB": [ 0.0, 1.0 ] } }
For more information, see Writing an Item in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
Example 2: To update an item conditionally
The following example updates an item in the
MusicCollection
table, but only if the existing item does not already have aYear
attribute.aws dynamodb update-item \ --table-name
MusicCollection
\ --keyfile://key.json
\ --update-expression"SET #Y = :y, #AT = :t"
\ --expression-attribute-namesfile://expression-attribute-names.json
\ --expression-attribute-valuesfile://expression-attribute-values.json
\ --condition-expression"attribute_not_exists(#Y)"
Contents of
key.json
:{ "Artist": {"S": "Acme Band"}, "SongTitle": {"S": "Happy Day"} }
Contents of
expression-attribute-names.json
:{ "#Y":"Year", "#AT":"AlbumTitle" }
Contents of
expression-attribute-values.json
:{ ":y":{"N": "2015"}, ":t":{"S": "Louder Than Ever"} }
If the item already has a
Year
attribute, DynamoDB returns the following output.An error occurred (ConditionalCheckFailedException) when calling the UpdateItem operation: The conditional request failed
