NSimpleDB - Use Amazon´s SimpleDB data model in your applications now - Part 4
As explained in my previous postings, I implemented a local/embeddable version of the Amazon SimpleDB data model and API in C#. You can download the sources from my NSimpleDB Google Code Project and build the tuple space engine yourself, or you download the demo application which includes the engine as a single assembly: NSimpleDB.dll.

NSimpleDB - Use Amazon´s SimpleDB data model in your applications now - Part 3
In my previous postings about Amazon´s SimpleDB data model and API I explained, what Amazon´s online database service - or to be more precise: tuple space - has to offer in general. If this sounds interesting to you, then now welcome to the desktop. Because it´s the desktop on which you can actually experience what it´s like to use such a tuple space. SimpleDB currently (as of Jan 08) is just in limited beta and you have to line up to get one of the limited test accounts.

NSimpleDB - Use Amazon´s SimpleDB data model in your applications now - Part 2
Amazon´s SimpleDB is an exciting new player in the database world. It´s free, it´s online, it´s not relational. SimpleDB is a dynamic database implementing a tuple space. Currently SimpleDB (as of Jan 08) is in beta - but not everyone can get his hands on it. You have to apply and line up for one of the limited test accounts.

NSimpleDB - Use Amazon´s SimpleDB data model in your applications now - Part 1
Have you heard about Amazon´s online "database service" SimpleDB? They describe it like this: "Amazon SimpleDB is a web service for running queries on structured data in real time." So it´s not a RDBMS, because Amazon does not call the data "relational", but just "structured". And you use a web service based API to access the data, not good old ADO.NET. Currently SimpleDB is in beta. You can get a test account to play around with it - if you´re patient. As of this writing (Jan 08) evaluation is limited; you need to apply and queue up to be assigned a test account. I have about 2 weeks ago, but haven´t heard from Amazon since then.
