How to make a UUID in DynamoDB?

Question

In my db scheme, I need a autoincrement primary key. How I can realize this feature?

PS For access to DynamoDB, I use dynode, module for Node.js.

Answer 1

I don't believe it is possible to to a SQL style auto-increment because the tables are partitioned across multiple machines. I generate my own UUID in PHP which does the job, I'm sure you could come up with something similar like this in javascript.
