DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLES

# The following examples assume you have set these environment variables:


            

              
              
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
export SDB_SERVICE_URL=https://sdb.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com

# Create a new SimpleDB domain:


            

              
              
simpledb create-domain mydomain

# List the domains for this account:


            

              
              
simpledb list-domains

# Create some items with attribute name=value pairs:


            

              
              
simpledb put mydomain item1 key1=valueA key2=value2 x=why
simpledb put mydomain item2 key1=valueB key2=value2 y=zee

# Add another value for an attribute on an item:


            

              
              
simpledb put mydomain item2 y=zed when=now who=you

# Replace all values for specific attributes on an item:


            

              
              
simpledb put-replace mydomain item1 key1=value1 newkey=newvalue

# Delete all values for specific attributes on an item:


            

              
              
simpledb delete mydomain item1 x

# Delete specific values for specific attributes on an item:


            

              
              
simpledb delete mydomain item2 who=you

# List all item names in a domain - note backquotes around domain


            

              
              
simpledb select 'select itemName() from `my-domain`'

# List all items and their attributes matching a given select query:


            

              
              
simpledb select 'select * from mydomain where key2="value2"'

# List all attributes on an item:


            

              
              
simpledb get mydomain item1
simpledb get mydomain item2

# Delete the entire SimpleDB domain including all items and attributes:


            

              
              
simpledb delete-domain mydomain

ENVIRONMENT


            

              
              
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
     Default AWS access key id
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
     Default AWS secret access key
SDB_SERVICE_URL
     Default https://sdb.amazonaws.com/
     Alternatives:
 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#sdb_region

FILES


            

              
              
$HOME/.awssecret
   If the above fail, then the keys are sought here in the
   format expected by the "aws" toolkit (one per line):
     access_key_id
     secret_access_key
/etc/passwd-s3fs
   If all of the above fail, then the keys are sought
   here in the format expected by s3fs (colon separated):
     access_key_id:secret_access_key

CAVEATS

As currently written this tool does not support keys containing equal signs (=).

Output will be difficult to parse if the values contain newlines.
