How to add a column to DynamoDB

Question

Is there a way to add a new column to an existing table in DynamoDB in Amazon AWS?

Google didn't help

UpdateTable Query at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/dynamodb/update-table.html?highlight=update%20table does not contain any information related to adding a new column.

Answer 1

DynamoDB does not require a schema definition, and therefore there is no such thing as a column. You can simply add a new item with a new attribute.
