DynamoDB ExportTableToPointInTime without the Item object

Question

Hi there,

I just took a backup from dynamoDB using ExportTableToPointInTime but the json has an "Item" object as a top root. Is there anyway I can back it up without the "Item" object as a root?

Instead of
"Item": {
   "zip":{"s":"760583462" },
   "LastUpdated":{ "n":"1562710461"  },
    ...
}

this
{
   "zip":{ "s":"760583462"  },
   "LastUpdated":{  "n":"1562710461"  },
   ...
}

Accepted Answer

No, this is the way that DDB-JSON is formatted, and thats what you are exporting to. If you need a different data format, you would have to roll your own export job, using something like AWS Glue for example.
