Amazon DynamoDb Database

Is it possible to create more than one databases in one aws dynamodb account ? e.g one database for university who manages university tables and one database for school who manages school tables. Thanks.

The other answer is correct but the more complete answer is that DynamoDB operates with tables and items. There is no concept of a "database" per se, as that would imply relating multiple tables, which would go against the non-relational aspect of DynamoDB.

So, long story short, yes, you can create multiple tables, that each is part of a different application, all in the same AWS account, and/or region. But the logical relationship (such as belonging to the same application, or storing related data) must all be modelled at the application level. DynamoDB doesn't care. It doesn't even care much about the schema of items in the same table, much less about different tables.

As far as I know you're not able to create more then one DynamoDB for each account on the same region. So the answer is no. Our solution to this was to prefix each table to each application. For example:

appl1_tableName
appl1_tableName
appl2_tableName

Hopefully this helps you out.
