The Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide uses sample tables to illustrate various aspects of DynamoDB.
| Table name | Primary key |
|---|---|
| ProductCatalog | Simple primary key: [See the AWS documentation website for more details] |
| Forum | Simple primary key: [See the AWS documentation website for more details] |
| Thread | Composite primary key: [See the AWS documentation website for more details] |
| Reply | Composite primary key: [See the AWS documentation website for more details] |
The Reply table has a global secondary index named PostedBy-Message-Index. This index will facilitate queries on two non-key attributes of the Reply table.
| Index name | Primary key |
|---|---|
| PostedBy-Message-Index | Composite primary key: [See the AWS documentation website for more details] |
For more information about these tables, see Use case 1: Product catalog and Use case 2: Forum application.
Topics
The following sections show the sample data files that are used for loading the ProductCatalog, Forum, Thread and Reply tables.
Each data file contains multiple PutRequest elements, each of which contain a single item. These PutRequest elements are used as input to the BatchWriteItem operation, using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI).
For more information, see Step 2: Load data into tables in Creating tables and loading data for code examples in DynamoDB.
