Creating a DynamoDB table with a Global Secondary Index using the AWS SDK for .Net

Now, let's see how to create a DynamoDB table with a Global Secondary Index using the AWS SDK for .Net.

Getting ready

To perform this recipe, you can use the IDE of your choice.

How to do it…

In the earlier chapters, we have seen how to create a DynamoDB table. Now, we are going to see how to create a DynamoDB table using a Global Secondary Index:

  1. Create AttributesDefinitions and the key schema. Make sure that you specify the attributes you are going to use as hash and range keys in the Global Secondary Index:

    AttributeDefinitions = new List<AttributeDefinition>(){
    new AttributeDefinition{
        AttributeName="id", AttributeType="N"
    },
    new AttributeDefinition{
        AttributeName="type", AttributeType="S"
    },
    new AttributeDefinition{
        AttributeName="name", AttributeType="S"
    },
    new AttributeDefinition{
        AttributeName="mnfr", AttributeType="S"
    }
    };
