IMPORT statement

Syntax

IMPORT class FROM "path" IMPORT class AS alias FROM "path" IMPORT {class} FROM "path" IMPORT {class as alias} FROM "path"

where:

• class is the exported class decorated with nodenamo's @DBTable

• path is the path to the file or a package containing the class to import.

INSERT Statement

Syntax

INSERT jsonObject INTO table WHERE expression

GET Statement

Syntax

GET id FROM table STRONGLY CONSISTENT

Example

GET 42 FROM users STRONGLY CONSISTENT

LIST Statement

Syntax

LIST projections FROM table USING indexName BY hashRange FILTER filterExpressions RESUME "lastEvaluatedKey" ORDER order LIMIT number STRONGLY CONSISTENT

where:

• projections is a list of properties to return. Use * to return all properties.
• indexName is the name of a GSI.
• hashRange is a value to search against a hash property. It can be optionally followed by a comma and a value to search against a range property.
• order is ASC or DESC
• strongly consistent can be used to request a consistent read.

Example

LIST * FROM users BY "name" , "timestamp" FILTER email = "someone@example.com" ORDER asc LIMIT 10 STRONGLY CONSISTENT

FIND Statement

Syntax

FIND projections FROM table USING indexName WHERE keyConditions FILTER filterExpressions RESUME "lastEvaluatedKey" ORDER order LIMIT number STRONGLY CONSISTENT

where:

• projections is a list of properties to return. Use * to return all properties.

• order is ASC or DESC
