Hello @Alex999,
Could you check the solutions, maybe there is something wrong with Exercise 1 in the create_table_db function. Since it’s a practice lab you could post your code or any errors. Hope it helps

Georgios, Hi

I’ve checked everything imaginable.And the Solutions didn’t help – it had issues of its own. At this point, I’d appreciate someone just giving me the answer – then I can l see what my error(s) is.

Thanks

Alex

Hello @Alex999,
Sorry for the inconvenience and the issue you are facing. I couldn’t reproduce the issue and could create ProductCatalog with the code cell. If you could post a screenshot of your output would help. Perhaps we can see someone more comfortable with dynamodb. Thanks

Georgios, Hi

I asked for someone to post the correct code. Please post you code since you said it worked

Thanks

Hello @Alex999

To open the solution notebook, follow these steps:

• Go to the main menu and select File -> Preferences -> Settings.

• Click on Text Editor on the left, then scroll down to the Files: Exclude section.

• Remove the line **/C2_W1_Lab_2_DynamoDB_Solution.ipynb. The file will now appear in the explorer.

• You can close the Settings tab.

And this is my code:

def create_table_db(table_name: str, **kwargs): 

    client = boto3.client("dynamodb") 

    ### START CODE HERE ### (~ 1 line of code) 

    response = client.create_table(TableName=None, None) 

    ### END CODE HERE ### 

    waiter = client.get_waiter("table_exists") 
    waiter.wait(TableName=table_name) 

    return response

To create the table we use this code:

response = create_table_db(table_name=product_catalog_table['table_name'], **product_catalog_table["kwargs"])  

print(response)

If you get an invalid endpoint instead of the expected output go to help and reboot:

Finally you get the expected output:

Giorgios, Hi

Hello @Alex999,

Could you get a fresh notebook with these instructions:

1. Rename your existing notebook, right click > rename:
   

   

2. Click help like before and get latest version:
   

   

You should have a new notebook and post any screenshots of errors.
Thanks
