Summary

Only PutItem (the item) and UpdateItem (ExpressionAttributeValues and AttributeUpdates) run number validation. AttributeValue's Deserialize keeps an N value that fails validation as its raw string (crates/core/src/types/attribute_value.rs:105-108), so the validation layer can refuse it later. The other operations do not refuse it with a ValidationException: BatchWriteItem and TransactWriteItems store {"N": "abc"} and {"N": "1E126"} as written, where Amazon DynamoDB answers ValidationException, and answer InternalServerError (HTTP 500) when such a value is an N sort key that does not parse as a decimal.

Measured (2026-10-27 09:35 to 10:05 UTC, each request sent twice, both rounds the same)

Non-key attribute n on a table with string keys:

Request DynamoDB (us-east-1) ExtendDB main abf8082f, SQLite, debug build
BatchWriteItem put, n = abc ValidationException The parameter cannot be converted to a numeric value: abc 200, GetItem returns n = abc
BatchWriteItem put, n = 1E126 ValidationException Number overflow. Attempting to store a number with magnitude larger than supported range 200, GetItem returns n = 1E126
TransactWriteItems put, n = abc ValidationException The parameter cannot be converted to a numeric value: abc 200, GetItem returns n = abc
TransactWriteItems put, n = 1E126 ValidationException Number overflow. Attempting to store a number with magnitude larger than supported range 200, GetItem returns n = 1E126
BatchWriteItem put, n = 10E2147483647 ValidationException Number underflow. Attempting to store a number with magnitude smaller than supported range connection closed (#616)

On these two operations DynamoDB's messages carry no 1 validation error detected: prefix, where its PutItem messages do. Its BatchWriteItem answers Number underflow for 10E2147483647, where its PutItem answers Number overflow for the same value. The expected text has to be measured per operation.

An N sort key abc through BatchWriteItem or TransactWriteItems answers InternalServerError on ExtendDB, and the server logs invalid numeric sort key: invalid digit found in string. DynamoDB's answer to that request was not measured.

Where validation is missing

From reading the code, not measured: number validation runs in validate_put_item and validate_update_item (crates/core/src/validation/mod.rs) only. It does not run for BatchWriteItem, TransactWriteItems, the keys of GetItem, BatchGetItem, TransactGetItems, DeleteItem and UpdateItem, Query and Scan expression values, PutItem and DeleteItem expression values, or ImportTable items. Open PRs #544 and #562 add the check for Query and Scan expression values.

An N partition key is stored as its text (pk_to_text, crates/storage/src/util/key.rs:78), so a key such as 1E126 written through BatchWriteItem becomes a partition of its own. extract_typed_value in crates/server/src/leading_keys.rs returns no dynamodb:LeadingKeys value for an N key that fails validation, on the assumption that the engine then refuses the request. On the operations above it does not. I did not test this under an IAM policy.

Zeros with an out-of-range exponent

DynamoDB range checks a zero on its exponent less its fraction digits: 0E125 and 0.0E126 are accepted, 0E126 is Number overflow and 0.0E-130 is Number underflow (measured with PutItem, 2026-10-27). With the #616 fix, ExtendDB accepts every zero whose exponent fits in an i32 as 0. That check cannot be added before this issue is fixed: a zero it refused would keep its raw spelling, and the operations above would then store and look up 0E126 as a key separate from 0. The fix for #616 leaves those zeros accepted for that reason, and a unit test there marks the place to change.
