DynamoDB.Client.execute_statement(**kwargs)¶This operation allows you to perform reads and singleton writes on data stored in DynamoDB, using PartiQL.
For PartiQL reads ( SELECT statement), if the total number of processed items exceeds the maximum dataset size limit of 1 MB, the read stops and results are returned to the user as a LastEvaluatedKey value to continue the read in a subsequent operation. If the filter criteria in WHERE clause does not match any data, the read will return an empty result set.
A single SELECT statement response can return up to the maximum number of items (if using the Limit parameter) or a maximum of 1 MB of data (and then apply any filtering to the results using WHERE clause). If LastEvaluatedKey is present in the response, you need to paginate the result set. If NextToken is present, you need to paginate the result set and include NextToken .

The PartiQL statement representing the operation to run.

Represents the data for an attribute.
Each attribute value is described as a name-value pair. The name is the data type, and the value is the data itself.
For more information, see Data Types in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .
An attribute of type String. For example:
"S": "Hello"
An attribute of type Number. For example:
"N": "123.45"
Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.
An attribute of type Binary. For example:
"B": "dGhpcyB0ZXh0IGlzIGJhc2U2NC1lbmNvZGVk"
An attribute of type String Set. For example:
"SS": ["Giraffe", "Hippo" ,"Zebra"]
An attribute of type Number Set. For example:
"NS": ["42.2", "-19", "7.5", "3.14"]
Numbers are sent across the network to DynamoDB as strings, to maximize compatibility across languages and libraries. However, DynamoDB treats them as number type attributes for mathematical operations.
An attribute of type Binary Set. For example:
"BS": ["U3Vubnk=", "UmFpbnk=", "U25vd3k="]
An attribute of type Map. For example:
"M": {"Name": {"S": "Joe"}, "Age": {"N": "35"}}
Represents the data for an attribute.
Each attribute value is described as a name-value pair. The name is the data type, and the value is the data itself.
For more information, see Data Types in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .
An attribute of type List. For example:
"L": [ {"S": "Cookies"} , {"S": "Coffee"}, {"N": "3.14159"}]
Represents the data for an attribute.
Each attribute value is described as a name-value pair. The name is the data type, and the value is the data itself.

An attribute of type Null. For example:
"NULL": true
An attribute of type Boolean. For example:
"BOOL": true
true , then a strongly consistent read is used; otherwise, an eventually consistent read is used.NextToken was returned in the statement response.Determines the level of detail about either provisioned or on-demand throughput consumption that is returned in the response:
INDEXES - The response includes the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation, together with ConsumedCapacity for each table and secondary index that was accessed. Note that some operations, such as GetItem and BatchGetItem , do not access any indexes at all. In these cases, specifying INDEXES will only return ConsumedCapacity information for table(s).TOTAL - The response includes only the aggregate ConsumedCapacity for the operation.NONE - No ConsumedCapacity details are included in the response.LastEvaluatedKey to apply in a subsequent operation so you can pick up where you left off. Also, if the processed dataset size exceeds 1 MB before DynamoDB reaches this limit, it stops the operation and returns the matching values up to the limit, and a key in LastEvaluatedKey to apply in a subsequent operation to continue the operation.dict

If LastEvaluatedKey is empty, then the "last page" of results has been processed and there is no more data to be retrieved.
