We have been talking about bringing some new features to the table for OpenBD. Let us start with one that we were very eager to bring to the CFML community:
Amazon SimpleDB Integration right within the famous <cfquery> tag!
Getting access to this functionality is now very easy with OpenBD. We’ve added Simple DB functionality to our official Plugin that is available for use. This lets you build INSERT / DELETE / SELECT statements for accessing data sitting inside of Amazon SimpleDB.
The benefit of using CFQUERY for your Amazon SimpleDB API is that it literally saves you money. For each request you make of Amazon SimpleDB, it costs money. But by utilizing the inbuilt query caching of CFQUERY you don’t need to query Amazon half as much as you would normally would.
Head over to the official OpenBD Blog to read up more and see some code examples.
Best of all, you don’t have to wait for a release, it is available now and for you to use!
