[ aws . timestream-write ]

create-table

Description

The CreateTable operation adds a new table to an existing database in your account. In an AWS account, table names must be at least unique within each Region if they are in the same database. You may have identical table names in the same Region if the tables are in seperate databases. While creating the table, you must specify the table name, database name, and the retention properties. Service quotas apply. For more information, see Access Management in the Timestream Developer Guide.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  create-table
--database-name <value>
--table-name <value>
[--retention-properties <value>]
[--tags <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--database-name (string)

The name of the Timestream database.

--table-name (string)

The name of the Timestream table.

--retention-properties (structure)

The duration for which your time series data must be stored in the memory store and the magnetic store.

MemoryStoreRetentionPeriodInHours -> (long)

The duration for which data must be stored in the memory store.

MagneticStoreRetentionPeriodInDays -> (long)

The duration for which data must be stored in the magnetic store.

Shorthand Syntax:

MemoryStoreRetentionPeriodInHours=long,MagneticStoreRetentionPeriodInDays=long

JSON Syntax:

{
  "MemoryStoreRetentionPeriodInHours": long,
  "MagneticStoreRetentionPeriodInDays": long
}

--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.
