 * 

* Represents a condition to be compared with an attribute value. This condition * can be used with DeleteItem, PutItem or UpdateItem * operations; if the comparison evaluates to true, the operation succeeds; if * not, the operation fails. You can use ExpectedAttributeValue in one of * two different ways: *

*
    *
  • *

    * Use AttributeValueList to specify one or more values to compare * against an attribute. Use ComparisonOperator to specify how you want * to perform the comparison. If the comparison evaluates to true, then the * conditional operation succeeds. *

    *
  • *
  • *

    * Use Value to specify a value that DynamoDB will compare against an * attribute. If the values match, then ExpectedAttributeValue evaluates * to true and the conditional operation succeeds. Optionally, you can also set * Exists to false, indicating that you do not expect to find the * attribute value in the table. In this case, the conditional operation * succeeds only if the comparison evaluates to false. *

    *
  • *
*

* Value and Exists are incompatible with * AttributeValueList and ComparisonOperator. Note that if you use * both sets of parameters at once, DynamoDB will return a * ValidationException exception. *

  • *

* A comparator for evaluating attributes in the AttributeValueList. * For example, equals, greater than, less than, etc. *

*

* The following comparison operators are available: *

*

* EQ | NE | LE | LT | GE | GT | NOT_NULL | NULL | CONTAINS | NOT_CONTAINS | BEGINS_WITH | IN | BETWEEN *

*

* The following are descriptions of each comparison operator. *

*
    *
  • *

    * EQ : Equal. EQ is supported for all datatypes, * including lists and maps. *

    *

    * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue * element of type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary * Set. If an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different * type than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For * example, {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. * Also, {"N":"6"} does not equal * {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}. *

    *

  • *
  • *

    * NE : Not equal. NE is supported for all * datatypes, including lists and maps. *

    *

    * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of * type String, Number, Binary, String Set, Number Set, or Binary Set. If an * item contains an AttributeValue of a different type than the one * provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, * {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, * {"N":"6"} does not equal {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]} * . *

    *

  • *
  • *

    * LE : Less than or equal. *

    *

    * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue * element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item * contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the * one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, * {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, * {"N":"6"} does not compare to * {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}. *

    *

  • *
  • *

    * LT : Less than. *

    *

    * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of * type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item contains an * AttributeValue element of a different type than the one provided * in the request, the value does not match. For example, * {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, * {"N":"6"} does not compare to * {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}. *

    *

  • *
  • *

    * GE : Greater than or equal. *

    *

    * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue * element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item * contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the * one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, * {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, * {"N":"6"} does not compare to * {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}. *

    *

  • *
  • *

    * GT : Greater than. *

    *

    * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue * element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If an item * contains an AttributeValue element of a different type than the * one provided in the request, the value does not match. For example, * {"S":"6"} does not equal {"N":"6"}. Also, * {"N":"6"} does not compare to * {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]}. *

    *

  • *
  • *

    * NOT_NULL : The attribute exists. NOT_NULL is * supported for all datatypes, including lists and maps. *

    * *

    * This operator tests for the existence of an attribute, not its data type. * If the data type of attribute "a" is null, and you evaluate * it using NOT_NULL, the result is a Boolean true. This * result is because the attribute "a" exists; its data type is * not relevant to the NOT_NULL comparison operator. *

    *
  • *
  • *

    * NULL : The attribute does not exist. NULL is * supported for all datatypes, including lists and maps. *

    * *

    * This operator tests for the nonexistence of an attribute, not its data * type. If the data type of attribute "a" is null, and you * evaluate it using NULL, the result is a Boolean * false. This is because the attribute "a" exists; its * data type is not relevant to the NULL comparison operator. *

    *
  • *
  • *

    * CONTAINS : Checks for a subsequence, or value in a set. *

    *

    * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue * element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target * attribute of the comparison is of type String, then the operator checks * for a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison is of * type Binary, then the operator looks for a subsequence of the target that * matches the input. If the target attribute of the comparison is a set (" * SS", "NS", or "BS"), then the * operator evaluates to true if it finds an exact match with any member of * the set. *

    *

    * CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating " * a CONTAINS b", "a" can be a list; however, " * b" cannot be a set, a map, or a list. *

    *
  • *
  • *

    * NOT_CONTAINS : Checks for absence of a subsequence, or * absence of a value in a set. *

    *

    * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue * element of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). If the target * attribute of the comparison is a String, then the operator checks for the * absence of a substring match. If the target attribute of the comparison * is Binary, then the operator checks for the absence of a subsequence of * the target that matches the input. If the target attribute of the * comparison is a set ("SS", "NS", or " * BS"), then the operator evaluates to true if it does * not find an exact match with any member of the set. *

    *

    * NOT_CONTAINS is supported for lists: When evaluating " * a NOT CONTAINS b", "a * " can be a list; however, "b" cannot be a set, a map, or a * list. *

    *
  • *
  • *

    * BEGINS_WITH : Checks for a prefix. *

    *

    * AttributeValueList can contain only one AttributeValue of * type String or Binary (not a Number or a set type). The target attribute * of the comparison must be of type String or Binary (not a Number or a set * type). *

    *

  • *
  • *

    * IN : Checks for matching elements within two sets. *

    *

    * AttributeValueList can contain one or more AttributeValue * elements of type String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). These * attributes are compared against an existing set type attribute of an * item. If any elements of the input set are present in the item attribute, * the expression evaluates to true. *

    *
  • *
  • *

    * BETWEEN : Greater than or equal to the first value, and less * than or equal to the second value. *

    *

    * AttributeValueList must contain two AttributeValue elements * of the same type, either String, Number, or Binary (not a set type). A * target attribute matches if the target value is greater than, or equal * to, the first element and less than, or equal to, the second element. If * an item contains an AttributeValue element of a different type * than the one provided in the request, the value does not match. For * example, {"S":"6"} does not compare to * {"N":"6"}. Also, {"N":"6"} does not compare to * {"NS":["6", "2", "1"]} *
