"Amazon SimpleDB is a web service for running queries on structured data in real time. This service works in close conjunction with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), collectively providing the ability to store, process and query data sets in the cloud. These services are designed to make web-scale computing easier and more cost-effective for developers." Click to read more about SimpleDB on Amazon.com



There are two windows to interact with the SimpleDB infrastructure:
  1. SimpleDB View - This view works very much like the other views that contain Amazon WS information.  Users can "Add" and "Remove" domains add records to domains and view information about the domains that can be obtained.
  2. Query Editor - SimpleDB works very much like an database users can add, remove, update and delete records from a Domain.  The Query view allows users to write and save queries and page through the results. The text area of the SQL Editor provides color coding (Future version will provide validation and type a head assistance).
