  • Listing tables using the AWS SDK for PHP
  • Deleting a table using the AWS SDK for Java
  • Deleting a table using the AWS SDK for .Net
  • Deleting a table using the AWS SDK for PHP

Introduction

In the previous chapter, we discussed how to perform various DynamoDB operations using the console. In this chapter, we will focus on how to use the SDK provided by Amazon to perform operations. Amazon has provided SDKs in various programming languages, out of which we are going to see operations in Java, .Net, and PHP. So, get ready to get your hands dirty with the code!

Creating a table using the AWS SDK for Java

Let's start with creating a table in DynamoDB using SDKs provided by Amazon.

Getting ready

To program various DynamoDB table operations, you can use the IDE of your choice, for example, Eclipse, NetBeans, Visual Studio, and so on. Here, we will be using the Eclipse IDE. In the previous chapter, we have already seen how to download and set up the Eclipse IDE.

How to do it…

Let's first see how to create a table in DynamoDB using the AWS SDK for Java.

You can create a Maven project and add the AWS SDK Maven dependency. The latest version available can be found at http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.amazonaws/aws-java-sdk/.

Here, I will be using Version 1.9.30, and its POM looks like this:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
  <artifactId>aws-java-sdk</artifactId>
  <version>1.9.30</version>
</dependency>

Here are the steps to create a table using the AWS SDK for Java:

Creating a table using the AWS SDK for .Net

Now, let's understand how to create a DynamoDB table using the AWS SDK for .Net.

Getting ready

You can use an IDE, such as Visual Studio to code these recipes. You can refer to the AWS documentation on how to set up your workstation at http://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-net/.

How to do it…

Let's start with creating a table called productTableNet:

  1. Instantiate the CreateTable request specifying AttributeDefinition and KeySchema. We will create the table having both the HASH and RANGE Keys. We will set the provisioned read and write capacity units to be one:
    AmazonDynamoDBClient client = new AmazonDynamoDBClient();
string tableName = "productTableNet";
var request=new CreateTableRequest{
  AttributeDefinitions=newList<AttributeDefinition>(){
    newAttributeDefinition{
      AttributeName="id", AttributeType="N"
    },
    newAttributeDefinition{
      AttributeName="type", AttributeType="S...

Creating a table using the AWS SDK for PHP

Now, let's understand how to create a DynamoDB table using the AWS SDK for PHP.

Getting ready…

You can use the IDE of your choice to code these recipes.

How to do it…

Let's start with creating a table called productTablePHP:

  1. Instantiate the DynamoDB client for PHP. Specify the AWS region in which you wish to create the table in:
    $client = DynamoDbClient::factory(array(
    'profile' => 'default',
    'region' => 'us-west-1'  
));
  2. Invoke the createTable method by specifying the details, such as the table name, hash and range keys, and provisioned capacity units. Here, we will create a table with the primary key as the composite hash and range keys:
    $result = $client->createTable(array(
    'TableName' => $tableName,
    'AttributeDefinitions' => array(
        array(
            'AttributeName' => 'id',
            'AttributeType...

Updating a table using the AWS SDK for Java

Now, let's understand how to update a DynamoDB table using the AWS SDK for Java.

Getting ready…

You can use the IDE of your choice to code these recipes.

How to do it…

In this recipe, we will learn how to update the already created DynamoDB table. Here, we will update the read and write capacity units:

  1. Create an instance of the Table class and initiate it by calling the getTable method:
    AmazonDynamoDBClient client = new AmazonDynamoDBClient(new ProfileCredentialsProvider());
client.setRegion(Region.getRegion(Regions.US_EAST_1));
DynamoDB dynamoDB = new DynamoDB(client);
Table table = dynamoDB.getTable("productTableJava");
  2. Now, create an instance of the provisioned throughput, and set the read and write capacity units. Earlier, we set the read and write capacity units to one, and now we will update it to two:
    ProvisionedThroughput provisionedThroughput = new ProvisionedThroughput().withReadCapacityUnits(2L).withWriteCapacityUnits...

Updating a table using the AWS SDK for .Net

Now, let's understand how to update a DynamoDB table using the AWS SDK for .Net.

Getting ready

You can use the IDE of your choice to code these recipes.

How to do it…

In this recipe, we will learn how to update the provisioned capacity of the already created table using the AWS SDK for .Net:

  1. Create an update table request and provide the new read and write capacity units:
    AmazonDynamoDBClient client = new AmazonDynamoDBClient();
string tableName = "productTableNet";
var request=new UpdateTableRequest(){
  TableName=tableName,
  ProvisionedThroughput = new ProvisionedThroughput(){
    ReadCapacityUnits=2,
      WriteCapacityUnits=2
  }
};
  2. Invoke the updateTable method from the DynamoDB client to update the table with the provided capacity units:
    var response = client.UpdateTable(request);
  3. It takes some time for DynamoDB to make the changes effective. So, it's always a best practice to wait until the table becomes active again...

Description

AWS DynamoDB is an excellent example of a production-ready NoSQL database. In recent years, DynamoDB has been able to attract many customers because of its features like high-availability, reliability and infinite scalability. DynamoDB can be easily integrated with massive data crunching tools like Hadoop /EMR, which is an essential part of this data-driven world and hence it is widely accepted. The cost and time-efficient design makes DynamoDB stand out amongst its peers. The design of DynamoDB is so neat and clean that it has inspired many NoSQL databases to simply follow it. This book will get your hands on some engineering best practices DynamoDB engineers use, which can be used in your day-to-day life to build robust and scalable applications. You will start by operating with DynamoDB tables and learn to manipulate items and manage indexes. You will also discover how to easily integrate applications with other AWS services like EMR, S3, CloudSearch, RedShift etc. A couple of chapters talk in detail about how to use DynamoDB as a backend database and hosting it on AWS ElasticBean. This book will also focus on security measures of DynamoDB as well by providing techniques on data encryption, masking etc. By the end of the book you’ll be adroit in designing web and mobile applications using DynamoDB and host it on cloud.

Who is this book for?

I really wished that this book had came out a few years earlier. This excellent NoSQL DynamoDB Cookbook will allow you to gain insights into the next generation of high-availability, reliability and infinite scalability of developing internet & mobile applications. Whether you're a programmer or an architect, if you're looking to design scalable distributed systems, you must check out this book. This book provides a step-by-step instruction on how to create tables and manipulate items. There are examples of best practices and sample codes to help you manage primary key type, hash and range attributes along with global local and secondary indices. In addition, there are integration examples with other advanced AWS services. You can get this book at https://www.packtpub.com/big-data-and-business-intelligence/dynamodb-cookbook. For further technical reading, you can visit http://oneglobalonline.com.

I have a MySQL / MSSQL / MongoDB background for all of my web applications and I wanted to branch out into DynamoDB for performance gains in highly available applications. The book covered everything clearly, how to achieve high read/write throughput while guiding you with best practices. While I just started with the NoSQL databases this one worked fine for my tests, and in a data-driven environment it will certainly out perform my slow MSSQL transactions. Not to mention the per core licence M$ is doing, crazy! I highly recommend this book if you want to get serious about high availability for data demanding applications.

As with many cookbooks of this type, the entire thing rests on whether the recipes included are actually of practical use or not. In this case, they most definitely are, and follow a well-arranged and logical order that starts from the basics. The great thing about the recipes is that they reallydo allow the reader to get to grips with a well-featured and highly-performant NoSQL database, and the book really hits the ground running. The chapters include relevant 'best practices' and a very useful later chapter on how to integrate DynamoSB with other AWS services.As with many Packt titles, the book is succinct - just under 200 pages - but this style seems to work much better in cookbook format where very specific examples, that are relatively self-contained, are presented. Recommended for anyone looking to get acquainted with DynamoDB through practical examples.

AWS DynamoDB is an excellent example of a production-ready NoSQL database. In recent years, DynamoDB has been able to attract many customers because of its features like high-availability, reliability and infinite scalability. DynamoDB can be easily integrated with massive data crunching tools like Hadoop /EMR, which is an essential part of this data-driven world and hence it is widely accepted. The cost and time-efficient design makes DynamoDB stand out amongst its peers. The design of DynamoDB is so neat and clean that it has inspired many NoSQL databases to simply follow it.This is a very complete title, I have used MySQL it is an important book that it helps me to learn other tool to manage Database, it is a useful material

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
