示例 1：向表中添加项

以下 put-item 示例将新项添加到 MusicCollection 表中。

aws dynamodb put-item \
    --table-name MusicCollection \
    --item file://item.json \
    --return-consumed-capacity TOTAL \
    --return-item-collection-metrics SIZE

item.json 的内容：

{
    "Artist": {"S": "No One You Know"},
    "SongTitle": {"S": "Call Me Today"},
    "AlbumTitle": {"S": "Greatest Hits"}
}

输出：

{
    "ConsumedCapacity": {
        "TableName": "MusicCollection",
        "CapacityUnits": 1.0
    },
    "ItemCollectionMetrics": {
        "ItemCollectionKey": {
            "Artist": {
                "S": "No One You Know"
            }
        },
        "SizeEstimateRangeGB": [
            0.0,
            1.0
        ]
    }
}

有关更多信息，请参阅《Amazon DynamoDB 开发人员指南》中的写入项。

示例 2：有条件地覆盖表中的项

仅当 MusicCollection 表中的现有项具有值为 Greatest Hits 的 AlbumTitle 属性时，以下 put-item 示例才会覆盖该项。该命令将返回该项先前的值。

aws dynamodb put-item \
    --table-name MusicCollection \
    --item file://item.json \
    --condition-expression "#A = :A" \
    --expression-attribute-names file://names.json \
    --expression-attribute-values file://values.json \
    --return-values ALL_OLD

item.json 的内容：

{
    "Artist": {"S": "No One You Know"},
    "SongTitle": {"S": "Call Me Today"},
    "AlbumTitle": {"S": "Somewhat Famous"}
}

names.json 的内容：

{
    "#A": "AlbumTitle"
}

values.json 的内容：

{
    ":A": {"S": "Greatest Hits"}
}

输出：

{
    "Attributes": {
        "AlbumTitle": {
            "S": "Greatest Hits"
        },
        "Artist": {
            "S": "No One You Know"
        },
        "SongTitle": {
            "S": "Call Me Today"
        }
    }
}

如果键已存在，您应看到以下输出：

A client error (ConditionalCheckFailedException) occurred when calling the PutItem operation: The conditional request failed.
