M/DB support update
Tagged as Earlier this week we announced LightSpeed and SimpleDB Management Tools support for M/Gateway’s M/DB, a free database which is “plug-compatible” with Amazon’s SimpleDB. At the time I noted a couple of issues and limitations. I’m glad to say that M/Gateway have very quickly addressed these, with a new build (build 26) available for download now. With this new build:
- You no longer need to use SignatureVersion=1 when accessing M/DB; the default signature version and method will just work.
- The issues around single quotes in queries, and around sorting and starts-with, are resolved.
At the moment there appears to be an outstanding issue with paging, but because M/DB doesn’t impose a limit on the size of responses the way Amazon does, you can work around this by paging on the client. M/Gateway are looking into this to see if it can be resolved.
We’d like to thank Rob Tweed of M/Gateway for his help and his rapid response on this. If you’re using SimpleDB and you want a fast, convenient test-bed, do check out M/DB.

Thanks, Ivan, for adding M/DB support!
BTW anyone who is interested in the use of the new breed of cloud, web and schemaless database technologies for deploying massively scalable applications, why not come to our conference in July? See http://www.outoftheslipstream.org for details. If nothing else, it’s a good excuse for a day out at a British winery! ;-)
