# DynamoDB CLI commands
|
|
|
|
## Connecting to a local (Docker)/prod (AWS) DynamoDB instance
|
|
|
|
In order to distinguish between local and production accounts you should keep
|
|
seperate profiles for each (via `.aws/config` and `.aws/credentials`).
|
|
|
|
When connecting to a local DB use the local profile and the local URL. Without
|
|
the `--profile` flag, AWS will default to the `default` profile which will
|
|
typically be your credentials for accessing AWS on the remote.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
aws dynamodb list-tables \
|
|
--profile timetracking_dev \
|
|
--endpoint-url http://localhost:800
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Delete a table
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
aws dynamodb delete-table \
|
|
--profile timetracking_dev \
|
|
--endpoint-url http://localhost:8000 \
|
|
--table-name TableName
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Create table from JSON schema
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
aws dynamodb create-table \
|
|
--cli-input-json file://create-timeentries-table.json \
|
|
--profile timetracking_dev \
|
|
--endpoint-url http://localhost:8000
|
|
|
|
```
