Running batch operations with PartiQL for DynamoDB - Amazon DynamoDB
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Running batch operations with PartiQL for DynamoDB

This section describes how to use batch statements with PartiQL for DynamoDB.

Note
  • The entire batch must consist of either read statements or write statements; you cannot mix both in one batch.

  • BatchExecuteStatement and BatchWriteItem can perform no more than 25 statements per batch.

Syntax

[ { "Statement":" statement ", "Parameters":[ { " parametertype " : " parametervalue " }, ...] } , ... ]

Parameters

statement

(Required) A PartiQL for DynamoDB supported statement.

Note
  • The entire batch must consist of either read statements or write statements; you cannot mix both in one batch.

  • BatchExecuteStatement and BatchWriteItem can perform no more than 25 statements per batch.

parametertype

(Optional) A DynamoDB type, if parameters were used when specifying the PartiQL statement.

parametervalue

(Optional) A parameter value if parameters were used when specifying the PartiQL statement.

Examples

Amazon CLI
  1. Save the following json to a file called partiql.json

    [ { "Statement": "INSERT INTO Music value {'Artist':'?','SongTitle':'?'}", "Parameters": [{"S": "Acme Band"}, {"S": "Best Song"}] }, { "Statement": "UPDATE Music SET AwardsWon=1 SET AwardDetail={'Grammys':[2020, 2018]} where Artist='Acme Band' and SongTitle='PartiQL Rocks'" } ]
  2. Run the following command in a command prompt.

    aws dynamodb batch-execute-statement --statements file://partiql.json
