DynamoDB does not show table contents, only metadata #4142

Open PatrickBichiou opened 7 months ago

PatrickBichiou commented 7 months ago

Problem

DynamoDB does not show any table content, only metadata.

In the Explorer of the AWS Toolkit for IntelliJ, I can also see the table contents. This is not the case in the toolkit for VS Code. This drift is very unfortunate, as I would prefer to use VS Code.

Expected behavior

In the Explorer of the AWS Toolkit for VS Code, not only metadata for DynamoDB is displayed, but also the actual table content.

Can you show a screenshot? This extension currently doesn't have a DynamoDB feature, except via the Resources tree.

PatrickBichiou commented 7 months ago

Ok yes I understand that in vs-code it is only available in the resources tree. In intellij it is available directly in the explorer. I would hope for the same in vs-code.

I have attached a screenshot from IntelliJ to show what works there. However, I had to hide the data. But you can see that a scan on a DynamoDB table is possible. The "columns" of the table are displayed and the data from the table.

Ok, yes, we are tracking this enhancement at https://github.com/aws/aws-toolkit-vscode/issues/1421

PatrickBichiou commented 7 months ago

Ok, #1421 is unfortunately open for 3 years. I hope that it will soon be implemented as in IntelliJ.

For reference, we recently introduced RedShift integration: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/toolkit-for-vscode/latest/userguide/redshift-overview.html

and we're hoping to leverage that work for other database-like backends.

Would be great. Thanks!
