Synopsis

  create-database
--database-name <value>
[--kms-key-id <value>]
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--database-name (string)

The name of the Timestream database.

--kms-key-id (string)

The KMS key for the database. If the KMS key is not specified, the database will be encrypted with a Timestream managed KMS key located in your account. Refer to AWS managed KMS keys for more info.

--tags (list)

A list of key-value pairs to label the table.

(structure)

A tag is a label that you assign to a Timestream database and/or table. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. Tags enable you to categorize databases and/or tables, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment.

Key -> (string)

The key of the tag. Tag keys are case sensitive.

Value -> (string)

The value of the tag. Tag values are case-sensitive and can be null.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
