Transact Get Items

dynamodb_transact_get_items R Documentation

TransactGetItems is a synchronous operation that atomically retrieves multiple items from one or more tables (but not from indexes) in a single account and Region

Description

transact_get_items is a synchronous operation that atomically retrieves multiple items from one or more tables (but not from indexes) in a single account and Region. A transact_get_items call can contain up to 100 TransactGetItem objects, each of which contains a Get structure that specifies an item to retrieve from a table in the account and Region. A call to transact_get_items cannot retrieve items from tables in more than one Amazon Web Services account or Region. The aggregate size of the items in the transaction cannot exceed 4 MB.

DynamoDB rejects the entire transact_get_items request if any of the following is true:

  • A conflicting operation is in the process of updating an item to be read.

  • There is insufficient provisioned capacity for the transaction to be completed.

  • There is a user error, such as an invalid data format.

  • The aggregate size of the items in the transaction exceeded 4 MB.

Usage

dynamodb_transact_get_items(TransactItems, ReturnConsumedCapacity)

Arguments

TransactItems

[required] An ordered array of up to 100 TransactGetItem objects, each of which contains a Get structure.

ReturnConsumedCapacity

A value of TOTAL causes consumed capacity information to be returned, and a value of NONE prevents that information from being returned. No other value is valid.

Value

A list with the following syntax:

list(

    list(
