(Delphi ActiveX) DynamoDB - UpdateItem

Edits an existing item's attributes, or adds a new item to the table if it does not already exist. You can put, delete, or add attribute values. You can also perform a conditional update on an existing item (insert a new attribute name-value pair if it doesn't exist, or replace an existing name-value pair if it has certain expected attribute values).

For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateItem.html
