Error: dynamodb query is not null
What's Causing This Error
This error message indicates that the query operation has failed because the KeyConditionExpression
property is not set or specified correctly. The KeyConditionExpression
is used to specify the primary key value of the item(s) to be retrieved from the table.
If the property is not set or is specified incorrectly, DynamoDB will not know which item(s) to retrieve, hence the error.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
To solve this error, provide a valid KeyConditionExpression
property. The KeyConditionExpression
should include the primary key name and the value to be searched for.
Here is an example of how to perform a query operation with a valid KeyConditionExpression
:
import boto3 # Instantiate a client dynamodb = boto3.client('dynamodb', region_name='us-west-2') # Define the parameters table_name = "my_table" key_condition_expression = "Id = :value" expression_attribute_values = { ":value": {"N": "1"} } # Perform the operation response = dynamodb.query(TableName=table_name, KeyConditionExpression=key_condition_expression, ExpressionAttributeValues=expression_attribute_values) print(response)
It is also possible to use multiple primary keys in the query, and it's important to use the correct syntax for the query depending on the primary key schema.
import boto3 # Instantiate a client dynamodb = boto3.client('dynamodb', region_name='us-west-2') # Define the parameters table_name = "my_table" key_condition_expression = "Id = :value1 AND sort_key = :value2" expression_attribute_values = { ":value1": {"S": "my_id"}, ":value2": {"S": "my_sort_key"} } # Perform the operation response = dynamodb.query(TableName=table_name, KeyConditionExpression=key_condition_expression, ExpressionAttributeValues=expression_attribute_values) print(response)
It is important to check that the primary key name and value are correct and that the primary key exists in the table; otherwise, the query will fail.
