# DynamoDB SDK commands
|
|
|
|
The following commands are for using `@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb` (the JS SDK).
|
|
|
|
## Create client
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import DynamoDBClient from "@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb";
|
|
|
|
const client = new DynamoDBClient({
|
|
region: "eu-west-2",
|
|
accessKeyId: process.env.ACCESS_KEY_ID,
|
|
secretAccessKey: process.env.ACCESS_KEY_ID,
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Query a table
|
|
|
|
Querying is the most performant and cost-effective method since it is an O(1)
|
|
lookup against a partition key or secondary index.
|
|
|
|
## Scan a table
|
|
|
|
Scanning is less performant (O(n)) and most expensive since it requires checking
|
|
every item in the database.
