Importing an existing data model - Amazon DynamoDB

Importing an existing data model

You can use NoSQL Workbench for Amazon DynamoDB to build a data model by importing and modifying an existing model. You can import data models in either NoSQL Workbench model format or in AWS CloudFormation JSON template format.

To import a data model

  1. Open NoSQL Workbench, and on the main screen, select Import model. You can import either a NoSQL Workbench model format or CloudFormation JSON template.

  2. You can add the imported model to an existing project or create a new project. If you don't choose a different project, your model will be added to the drafts project folder.

  3. Click Browse your desktop and choose a model to import from your computer.

  4. Once your model is imported, you can add access patterns, edit tables/indexes, and modify the data locally.
