So Amazon's big announcement RE: SimpleDB service gets us DBD'ers all fired up...and then we've got no place to go. Seems they announced things a bit prematurely, and all the beta slots are filled. <sigh/>

If any Amazonian's out there read this, we'd sure appreciate a little fast track access. Morphing DBD::Amazon into DBD::SimpleDB looks pretty straightforward, and would add a bit more relational usefulness to SDB to boot. While SDB seems targeted at the SQL challenged, I'm betting someone's going to want to do a JOIN eventually - even if they don't know what a JOIN is. And there's a pretty good chance they'll want a SUM(), MIN(), and MAX() before long, too.

And DBD::SimpleDB can do that (courtesy SQL::Statement). ...if we can get at the service.
