php simplecustomer aws sdb example

http://www.simplecustomer.com/

Amazon Web Services has a large and vibrant developer community. The open source wrapper used for the Amazon SimpleDB-driven version of Simple Customer (http://sourceforge.net/projects/php-sdb/) was produced within this community.

It is important to emphasize that this particular example uses PHP/MySQL, but Amazon SimpleDB–and the rest of the Amazon Web Services–is completely platform agnostic. Any platform or language that can send HTTP requests and process XML responses can use the Amazon Web Services.

Amazon SimpleDB employs a SQL-like query syntax, so in many cases, exactly the same SQL phrasing is used to query both MySQL and Amazon SimpleDB.
Thus, for Simple Customer, we used the relatively complex SQL illustrated in Figure 10 as-is for Amazon SimpleDB. This greatly reduced the effort needed to perform the migration.
