Properties

ArchivalSummary

Gets and sets the property ArchivalSummary.

Contains information about the table archive.

public ArchivalSummary ArchivalSummary { get; set; }

Property Value

ArchivalSummary

AttributeDefinitions

Gets and sets the property AttributeDefinitions.

An array of

AttributeDefinition
objects. Each of these objects describes one attribute in the table and index key schema.

Each

AttributeDefinition
object in this array is composed of:
  • AttributeName
    - The name of the attribute.
  • AttributeType
    - The data type for the attribute.
public List<AttributeDefinition> AttributeDefinitions { get; set; }

Property Value

List<AttributeDefinition>

BillingModeSummary

Gets and sets the property BillingModeSummary.

Contains the details for the read/write capacity mode.

public BillingModeSummary BillingModeSummary { get; set; }

Property Value

BillingModeSummary

CreationDateTime

Gets and sets the property CreationDateTime.

The date and time when the table was created, in UNIX epoch time format.

public DateTime CreationDateTime { get; set; }

Property Value

DateTime

GlobalSecondaryIndexes

Gets and sets the property GlobalSecondaryIndexes.

The global secondary indexes, if any, on the table. Each index is scoped to a given partition key value. Each element is composed of:

  • Backfilling
    - If true, then the index is currently in the backfilling phase. Backfilling occurs only when a new global secondary index is added to the table. It is the process by which DynamoDB populates the new index with data from the table. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a
    CreateTable
    operation.)

    You can delete an index that is being created during the

    Backfilling
    phase when
    IndexStatus
    is set to CREATING and
    Backfilling
    is true. You can't delete the index that is being created when
    IndexStatus
    is set to CREATING and
    Backfilling
    is false. (This attribute does not appear for indexes that were created during a
    CreateTable
    operation.)
  • IndexName
    - The name of the global secondary index.
  • IndexSizeBytes
    - The total size of the global secondary index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.
  • IndexStatus
    - The current status of the global secondary index:
    • CREATING
      - The index is being created.
    • UPDATING
      - The index is being updated.
    • DELETING
      - The index is being deleted.
    • ACTIVE
      - The index is ready for use.
  • ItemCount
    - The number of items in the global secondary index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.
  • KeySchema
    - Specifies the complete index key schema. The attribute names in the key schema must be between 1 and 255 characters (inclusive). The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.
  • Projection
    - Specifies attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected. Each attribute specification is composed of:
    • ProjectionType
      - One of the following:
      • KEYS_ONLY
        - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.
      • INCLUDE
        - In addition to the attributes described in
        KEYS_ONLY
        , the secondary index will include other non-key attributes that you specify.
      • ALL
        - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.
    • NonKeyAttributes
      - A list of one or more non-key attribute names that are projected into the secondary index. The total count of attributes provided in
      NonKeyAttributes
      , summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.
  • ProvisionedThroughput
    - The provisioned throughput settings for the global secondary index, consisting of read and write capacity units, along with data about increases and decreases.

If the table is in the

DELETING
state, no information about indexes will be returned.
public List<GlobalSecondaryIndexDescription> GlobalSecondaryIndexes { get; set; }

Property Value

List<GlobalSecondaryIndexDescription>

GlobalTableVersion

Gets and sets the property GlobalTableVersion.

Represents the version of global tables in use, if the table is replicated across Amazon Web Services Regions.

public string GlobalTableVersion { get; set; }

Property Value

string

ItemCount

Gets and sets the property ItemCount.

The number of items in the specified table. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

public long ItemCount { get; set; }

Property Value

long

KeySchema

Gets and sets the property KeySchema.

The primary key structure for the table. Each

KeySchemaElement
consists of:
  • AttributeName
    - The name of the attribute.
  • KeyType
    - The role of the attribute:
    • HASH
      - partition key
    • RANGE
      - sort key
    note

    The partition key of an item is also known as its hash attribute. The term "hash attribute" derives from DynamoDB's usage of an internal hash function to evenly distribute data items across partitions, based on their partition key values.

    The sort key of an item is also known as its range attribute. The term "range attribute" derives from the way DynamoDB stores items with the same partition key physically close together, in sorted order by the sort key value.

For more information about primary keys, see Primary Key in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide.

public List<KeySchemaElement> KeySchema { get; set; }

Property Value

List<KeySchemaElement>

LatestStreamArn

Gets and sets the property LatestStreamArn.

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that uniquely identifies the latest stream for this table.

public string LatestStreamArn { get; set; }

Property Value

string

LatestStreamLabel

Gets and sets the property LatestStreamLabel.

A timestamp, in ISO 8601 format, for this stream.

Note that

LatestStreamLabel
is not a unique identifier for the stream, because it is possible that a stream from another table might have the same timestamp. However, the combination of the following three elements is guaranteed to be unique:
  • Amazon Web Services customer ID

  • Table name

  • StreamLabel
public string LatestStreamLabel { get; set; }

Property Value

string

LocalSecondaryIndexes

Gets and sets the property LocalSecondaryIndexes.

Represents one or more local secondary indexes on the table. Each index is scoped to a given partition key value. Tables with one or more local secondary indexes are subject to an item collection size limit, where the amount of data within a given item collection cannot exceed 10 GB. Each element is composed of:

  • IndexName
    - The name of the local secondary index.
  • KeySchema
    - Specifies the complete index key schema. The attribute names in the key schema must be between 1 and 255 characters (inclusive). The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.
  • Projection
    - Specifies attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected. Each attribute specification is composed of:
    • ProjectionType
      - One of the following:
      • KEYS_ONLY
        - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.
      • INCLUDE
        - Only the specified table attributes are projected into the index. The list of projected attributes is in
        NonKeyAttributes
        .
      • ALL
        - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.
    • NonKeyAttributes
      - A list of one or more non-key attribute names that are projected into the secondary index. The total count of attributes provided in
      NonKeyAttributes
      , summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total.
  • IndexSizeBytes
    - Represents the total size of the index, in bytes. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.
  • ItemCount
    - Represents the number of items in the index. DynamoDB updates this value approximately every six hours. Recent changes might not be reflected in this value.

If the table is in the

DELETING
state, no information about indexes will be returned.
