Listing all Amazon DynamoDB Tables Using the AWS SDK for Go

The following example uses the DynamoDBListTables operation to list all tables for the us-west-2 region.

Create the file dynamodb_list_tables.go. Add the following statements to import the Go and AWS SDK for Go packages used in the example.

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"

    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws"
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session"
    "github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/service/dynamodb"
)

Initialize the session that the SDK uses to load credentials from the shared credentials file ~/.aws/credentials, and create a new DynamoDB service client.

sess, err := session.NewSession(&aws.Config{
    Region: aws.String("us-west-2")},
)

// Create DynamoDB client
svc := dynamodb.New(sess)

Call ListTables. If an error occurs, print the error and exit. If no error occurs, loop through the tabless, printing the name of each table.

result, err := svc.ListTables(&dynamodb.ListTablesInput{})

if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
    os.Exit(1)
}

fmt.Println("Tables:")
fmt.Println("")

for _, n := range result.TableNames {
    fmt.Println(*n)
}
