CreateTableRequest (string, List<KeySchemaElement>, List<AttributeDefinition>, ProvisionedThroughput)

The name of the table to create. You can also provide the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the table in this parameter.

Specifies the attributes that make up the primary key for a table or an index. The attributes in KeySchema must also be defined in the AttributeDefinitions array. For more information, see Data Model in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide. Each KeySchemaElement 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 RANGE - sort 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 of HASH. 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 of HASH, and the second element must have a KeyType of RANGE. For more information, see Working with Tables in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

An array of attributes that describe the key schema for the table and indexes.

Represents the provisioned throughput settings for a specified table or index. The settings can be modified using the UpdateTable operation. If you set BillingMode as PROVISIONED, you must specify this property. If you set BillingMode as PAY_PER_REQUEST, you cannot specify this property. For current minimum and maximum provisioned throughput values, see Service, Account, and Table Quotas in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.
