Question: Can we rename DynamoDB table?

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Yes, you can use the import/export feature in Dynobase to rename a DynamoDB table. You can export the data from the old table to an S3 bucket and then import the data into a new table with the desired name. This way, you can rename the table without copying the data manually.
