Constructor Details

#initialize(aws_access_key_id = nil, aws_secret_access_key = nil, params = {}) ⇒ SdbInterface

Creates new RightSdb instance.

Params:

{ :server       => 'sdb.amazonaws.com'  # Amazon service host: 'sdb.amazonaws.com'(default)
  :port         => 443                  # Amazon service port: 80 or 443(default)
  :protocol     => 'https'              # Amazon service protocol: 'http' or 'https'(default)
  :signature_version => '0'             # The signature version : '0' or '1'(default)
  :multi_thread => true|false           # Multi-threaded (connection per each thread): true or false(default)
  :logger       => Logger Object        # Logger instance: logs to STDOUT if omitted 
  :nil_representation => 'mynil'}       # interpret Ruby nil as this string value; i.e. use this string in SDB to represent Ruby nils (default is the string 'nil')

Example:

sdb = RightAws::SdbInterface.new('1E3GDYEOGFJPIT7XXXXXX','hgTHt68JY07JKUY08ftHYtERkjgtfERn57XXXXXX', {:multi_thread => true, :logger => Logger.new('/tmp/x.log')}) #=> #<RightSdb:0xa6b8c27c>

#create_domain(domain_name) ⇒ Object

Create new SDB domain at Amazon.

Returns a hash: { :box_usage, :request_id } on success or an exception on error. (Amazon raises no errors if the domain already exists).

Example:

sdb = RightAws::SdbInterface.new
sdb.create_domain('toys') # => { :box_usage  => "0.0000071759",

#delete_attributes(domain_name, item_name, attributes = nil) ⇒ Object

Delete value, attribute or item.

Example:

# delete 'vodka' and 'girls' from 'Jon' and 'mice' from 'cat'.
sdb.delete_attributes 'family', 'toys', { 'Jon' => ['vodka', 'girls'], 'cat' => ['mice'] }

# delete the all the values from attributes (i.e. delete the attributes)

#list_domains(max_number_of_domains = nil, next_token = nil) ⇒ Object

Retrieve a list of SDB domains from Amazon.

Returns a hash:

{ :domains     => [domain1, ..., domainN],
  :next_token => string || nil,
  :box_usage   => string,
  :request_id  => string }

Example:

                        :domains    => ["toys", "dolls"]}

If a block is given, this method yields to it. If the block returns true, list_domains will continue looping the request. If the block returns false, list_domains will end.

sdb.list_domains(10) do |result|   # list by 10 domains per iteration

#put_attributes(domain_name, item_name, attributes, replace = false) ⇒ Object

Add/Replace item attributes.

Params:

domain_name = DomainName
item_name   = ItemName
attributes  = {
  'nameA' => [valueA1,..., valueAN],
  ...
  'nameZ' => [valueZ1,..., valueZN]
}
replace = :replace | any other value to skip replacement

Returns a hash: { :box_usage, :request_id } on success or an exception on error. (Amazon raises no errors if the attribute was not overridden, as when the :replace param is unset).

Example:

sdb = RightAws::SdbInterface.new
sdb.create_domain 'family'

attributes = {}
# create attributes for Jon and Silvia
attributes['Jon']    = %w{ car beer }
attributes['Silvia'] = %w{ beetle rolling_pin kids } 
sdb.put_attributes 'family', 'toys', attributes   #=> ok
# now: Jon=>[car, beer], Silvia=>[beetle, rolling_pin, kids]

# add attributes to Jon
attributes.delete('Silvia')
attributes['Jon'] = %w{ girls pub }
sdb.put_attributes 'family', 'toys', attributes   #=> ok
# now: Jon=>[car, beer, girls, pub], Silvia=>[beetle, rolling_pin, kids]

# replace attributes for Jon and add to a cat (the cat had no attributes before)
attributes['Jon'] = %w{ vacuum_cleaner hammer spade }
attributes['cat'] = %w{ mouse clew Jons_socks }
sdb.put_attributes 'family', 'toys', attributes, :replace #=> ok

#query(domain_name, query_expression = nil, max_number_of_items = nil, next_token = nil) ⇒ Object

Perform a query on SDB.

Returns a hash:

{ :box_usage  => string,
  :request_id => string,
  :next_token => string,
  :items      => [ItemName1,..., ItemNameN] }

Example:

query = "['cat' = 'clew']"

sdb.query('family', query, 10) #=> hash of data with max of 10 items

If a block is given, query will iteratively yield results to it as long as the block continues to return true.

# List 10 items per iteration. Don't 
# forget to escape single quotes and backslashes and wrap all the items in single quotes.
query = "['cat'='clew'] union ['dog'='Jon\\'s boot']"
sdb.query('family', query, 10) do |result|
  puts result.inspect

end

# Same query using automatic escaping...to use the auto escape, pass the query and its params as an array:
query = [ "['cat'=?] union ['dog'=?]", "clew", "Jon's boot" ]
sdb.query('family', query)

query = [ "['cat'=?] union ['dog'=?] sort 'cat' desc", "clew", "Jon's boot" ]

#query_with_attributes(domain_name, attributes = [], query_expression = nil, max_number_of_items = nil, next_token = nil) ⇒ Object

Perform a query and fetch specified attributes. If attributes are not specified then fetches the whole list of attributes.

Returns a hash:

{ :box_usage  => string,
  :request_id => string,
  :next_token => string,
  :items      => [ { ItemName1 => { attribute1 => value1, ...  attributeM => valueM } },
                   { ItemName2 => {...}}, ... ]

Example:

sdb.query_with_attributes(domain, ['hobby', 'country'], "['gender'='female'] intersection ['name' starts-with ''] sort 'name'") #=>
  { :request_id => "06057228-70d0-4487-89fb-fd9c028580d3",

#select(select_expression, next_token = nil) ⇒ Object

Perform SQL-like select and fetch attributes. Attribute values must be quoted with a single or double quote. If a quote appears within the attribute value, it must be escaped with the same quote symbol as shown in the following example. (Use array to pass select_expression params to avoid manual escaping).
