Error: dynamodb cannot create preexisting table
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
You may run into this error if you are trying to create a table with the same name within the same region.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To resolve the error, try any of the following ways:
- Check the list of tables in your DynamoDB service using the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the
ListTablesoperation to confirm whether the table you're trying to create already exists. - If the table exists, you can choose a different name for the table or delete the existing table before recreating it.
- Make sure you are providing the correct table name and the correct credentials.
