## [Introduction](#introduction)

In this article, we will learn how to create a DynamoDB table using AWS CLI. We will also learn how to add items to the table and how to query the table.

## [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)

To follow this article, you need to have the following:

-   AWS CLI
-   AWS Account
-   AWS IAM User with the following permissions:
    -   AmazonDynamoDBFullAccess
-   AWS CLI configured with the IAM User

## [Create a DynamoDB table](#create-a-dynamodb-table)

### [Step 1: create a DynamoDB table](#step-1-create-a-dynamodb-table)

To create a DynamoDB table, run the following command:

Terminal window

```
1aws dynamodb create-table \2    --table-name MyTable \3    --attribute-definitions \4        AttributeName=Id,AttributeType=S \5    --key-schema \6        AttributeName=Id,KeyType=HASH \7    --provisioned-throughput \8        ReadCapacityUnits=1,WriteCapacityUnits=1
```

Explanation:

-   `--table-name`: The name of the table to create.
-   `--attribute-definitions`: An array of attributes that describe the key schema for the table and indexes.
-   `--key-schema`: Specifies the attributes that make up the primary key for a table or an index.
-   `--provisioned-throughput`: The provisioned throughput settings for the table or index.

### [Step 2: list the tables](#step-2-list-the-tables)

To list the tables, run the following command:

Terminal window

```
1aws dynamodb list-tables
```

### [Step 3: insert items into the table](#step-3-insert-items-into-the-table)

#### [Step 3.1: insert an item using AWS CLI](#step-31-insert-an-item-using-aws-cli)

To insert an item into the table, run the following command:

Terminal window

```
1aws dynamodb put-item \2    --table-name MyTable \3    --item \4        '{"Id": {"S": "1"}, "Name": {"S": "John Doe"}}'
```

Explanation:

-   `--item`: A map of attribute names to attribute values, representing the item to write.

#### [Step 3.2: insert multiple items using AWS CLI](#step-32-insert-multiple-items-using-aws-cli)

To insert multiple items into the table, run the following command:

Terminal window

```
1aws dynamodb batch-write-item \2    --request-items \3        '{"MyTable": [{"PutRequest": {"Item": {"Id": {"S": "2"}, "Name": {"S": "Jane Doe"}}}}]}'
```

Explanation:

-   `--request-items`: A map of one or more table names and, for each table, a list of operations to be performed (`DeleteRequest` or `PutRequest`).

#### [Step 3.3: insert items from a JSON file using AWS CLI](#step-33-insert-items-from-a-json-file-using-aws-cli)

Create a JSON file with the following content:

Terminal window

```
1# create a JSON file2touch items.json3
4# open the file5vim items.json
```

```
1{2  "MyTable": [3    {4      "PutRequest": {5        "Item": {6          "Id": {7            "S": "3"8          },9          "Name": {10            "S": "John Doe"11          }12        }13      }14    },15    {16      "PutRequest": {17        "Item": {18          "Id": {19            "S": "4"20          },21          "Name": {22            "S": "Jane Doe"23          }24        }25      }26    }27  ]28}
```

To insert items from a JSON file into the table, run the following command:

Terminal window

```
1aws dynamodb batch-write-item \2    --request-items file://items.json
```

Explanation:

```
1aws dynamodb query \2    --table-name MyTable \3    --key-condition-expression "Id = :id" \4    --expression-attribute-values  '{":id":{"S":"1"}}'
```

Explanation:

-   `--key-condition-expression`: A condition that evaluates the query results and returns only the desired values.
-   `--expression-attribute-values`: One or more values that can be substituted in an expression.

#### [Step 4.2: query the table using AWS CLI and output to a JSON file](#step-42-query-the-table-using-aws-cli-and-output-to-a-json-file)

-   `> result.json`: The path to the JSON file.

### [Step 5: create a global secondary index](#step-5-create-a-global-secondary-index)

A global secondary index is a secondary index with a partition key and a sort key that can be different from those on the table. You can query the index using the partition key and sort key, or you can query the index using only the partition key.

#### [Step 5.1: create a global secondary index using AWS CLI](#step-51-create-a-global-secondary-index-using-aws-cli)

To create a global secondary index, run the following command:
