DynamoSQL implements a substantial subset of ANSI SQL targeting DynamoDB and CSV backends. The engine is read-only — it supports SELECT queries only. There is no INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or DDL.

Quick Example

WITH recent_orders AS (
  SELECT
    o.customer_id,
    o.total,
    o.status,
    c.name AS customer_name
  FROM myschema.orders AS o
  INNER JOIN myschema.customers AS c ON o.customer_id = c.id
  WHERE o.status = 'shipped'
)
SELECT
  customer_name,
  COUNT(*) AS order_count,
  SUM(total) AS total_spent
FROM recent_orders
GROUP BY customer_name
HAVING SUM(total) > 500
ORDER BY total_spent
LIMIT 20
This query demonstrates a CTE, an INNER JOIN, WHERE filtering, GROUP BY with an aggregate, HAVING, ORDER BY, and LIMIT — all supported today.
