NOTE: This project has moved to github along with the documentation: http://github.com/appoxy/simple_record

An ActiveRecord interface for SimpleDB that takes care of offsets and padding, etc. Can be used as a drop in replacement for ActiveRecord in rails.

Getting Started1. Install gems

gem install appoxy-aws uuidtools appoxy-simple_record 2. Create a model

require 'simple_record'

class MyModel < SimpleRecord::Base
has_attributes :name, :age
are_ints :age
endMore about ModelAttributes.

3. Setup environment

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='XXXX'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='YYYY'
SimpleRecord.establish_connection(AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)4. Go to town

1. Store a model object to SimpleDB
   mm = MyModel.new
   mm.name = "Travis"
   mm.age = 32
   mm.save
   id = mm.id

1. Get an object from SimpleDB
   mm2 = MyModel.find(id)
   puts 'got=' + mm2.name + ' and he/she is ' + mm.age.to_s + ' years old'# Or more advanced queries mms = MyModel.find(:all, ["age=?", 32], :order=>"name", :limit=>10)
