Question: Does DynamoDB have tables?
Answered by Rafal Wilinski
Answer
Yes, DynamoDB stores data in tables. Like other database systems, a table can be considered a collection of items. A table must have a mandatory primary key. Apart from that, it is schema-less, and you can store a collection of items on the table.
