Error: DynamoDB aliasing is not supported
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
The error "Dynamodb aliasing is not supported" occurs when you try to use aliasing in a DynamoDB query or update. Aliasing is a feature that allows you to rename attributes in the query results, but it is not supported in DynamoDB.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To solve this error, you can execute the following:
- Instead of using aliasing, you can use the attribute names as they are in the table.
- However, if your attributes are part of the reserved attributes in DynamoDB, you will need to alias it using "#" in the expression and defining its real attribute name in the
ExpressionAttributeNames
