partiql

partiql is a Change Type in the Liquibase DynamoDB Pro extension that allows you to specify some PartiQL statements in your changesets. In DynamoDB changesets, use partiql instead of sql. For more information, see PartiQL - a SQL-compatible query language for Amazon DynamoDB.

Uses

partiql is useful for complex changes that are not supported through Liquibase automated Change Types such as stored procedures. The PartiQL contained in partiql can be multi-line.

Run partiql

To run this Change Type, follow these steps:

  1. Add the Change Type to your changeset, as shown in the examples on this page.
  2. Specify any required attributes. Use the table on this page to see which ones your database requires.
  3. Deploy your changeset by running the update command:
  4. liquibase update

Now, Liquibase deploys your change on your DynamoDB database. By default, read operations on DynamoDB are eventually consistent. When you look at your database immediately after running liquibase update, DynamoDB may display the status of an object as CREATING, UPDATING, or DELETING. When it finishes, it displays the status as ACTIVE.

Note: If your deployment fails because the DynamoDB waiter times out or reaches a retry limit, you can modify the waiter settings using Liquibase Parameters for Amazon DynamoDB Pro.

Available attributes

Name Type Description Requirement
partiql String Specifies the PartiQL to execute. Required
dbms String

Specifies which database type(s) a changeset is to be used for. See valid database type names on dbms. Separate multiple databases with commas. Specify that a changeset is not applicable to a particular database type by prefixing with !. The keywords all and none are also available.

Note: Liquibase currently only supports PartiQL on DynamoDB. If you use PartiQL on other databases, your changes may result in unexpected behavior.

Optional
endDelimiter String

Specifies delimiter to apply to the end of the statement. Your delimiter string can be a combination of one or more letters, symbols, and/or numbers, or the empty string (""). Default: ";". See also: --pro-global-end-delimiter and --pro-global-end-delimiter-prioritized.

Tip: It is a best practice not to use endDelimiter on changesets you are running with a native executor. Native executors handle delimiters natively.

Optional
splitStatements Boolean

If true, Liquibase splits SQL statements using the delimiters ; and GO. If false, Liquibase does not split SQL statements. Default: true.

Tip: It is a best practice not to use splitStatements=true on changesets you are running with a native executor. Native executors handle statement splitting natively.

Optional
stripComments Boolean

When true, removes any comments in the statement before executing. Otherwise, set it to false. Default: true. See also: --pro-global-strip-comments and --pro-global-strip-comments-prioritized.
