Error: DynamoDB cannot delete the table
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This error can be caused by a variety of issues, such as:
- Attempting to delete a table that is in the process of being created or deleted.
- Attempting to delete a table that is being accessed by another operation.
- Issues with the IAM role associated with the request.
- The table has a Global/Local Secondary Index which has to be deleted before the table is deleted.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To solve this error, you can take the following steps:
- Check the table's status to ensure that it is not being created or deleted.
- Wait for any other operation accessing the table to complete before attempting to delete it.
- Check the IAM role associated with the request to ensure it has the necessary permissions to delete the table.
- Delete any Global Secondary Index (GSI) associated with the table before deleting the table.
