execute-transaction

Description

This operation allows you to perform transactional reads or writes on data stored in DynamoDB, using PartiQL.

Note

The entire transaction must consist of either read statements or write statements, you cannot mix both in one transaction. The EXISTS function is an exception and can be used to check the condition of specific attributes of the item in a similar manner to ConditionCheck in the TransactWriteItems API.

Options

--transact-statements (list)

The list of PartiQL statements representing the transaction to run.

(structure)

Represents a PartiQL statement that uses parameters.

Statement -> (string)

A PartiQL statement that uses parameters.

Parameters -> (list)

The parameter values.

(structure)

Represents the data for an attribute.

Each attribute value is described as a name-value pair. The name is the data type, and the value is the data itself.

For more information, see Data Types in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .

--client-request-token (string)

Set this value to get remaining results, if NextToken was returned in the statement response.

--return-consumed-capacity (string)

Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response. For more information, see TransactGetItems and TransactWriteItems .

Possible values:

• INDEXES
• TOTAL
• NONE

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
