DynamoDB.Client.execute_transaction(**kwargs)¶This operation allows you to perform transactional reads or writes on data stored in DynamoDB, using PartiQL.
Note
The entire transaction must consist of either read statements or write statements, you cannot mix both in one transaction. The EXISTS function is an exception and can be used to check the condition of specific attributes of the item in a similar manner to ConditionCheck in the TransactWriteItems API.

[REQUIRED]
The list of PartiQL statements representing the transaction to run.
Represents a PartiQL statment that uses parameters.
A PartiQL statment that uses parameters.
The parameter values.
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.
For more information, see Data Types in the Amazon DynamoDB Developer Guide .
An attribute of type Null. For example:
"NULL": true
An attribute of type Boolean. For example:
"BOOL": true
Set this value to get remaining results, if NextToken was returned in the statement response.
This field is autopopulated if not provided.
