Overview

Holds the data for a SimpleDB item. While Item only proxies requests to return data, this class actually stores data returned by a query. For example, you can use this to get the list of items whose titles are palindromes using only a single request to SimpleDB (not counting pagination):

items.enum_for(:select).
  select { |data| data.title == data.title.to_s.reverse }.
  map { |data| data.item }

The AWS::SimpleDB::ItemCollection#select call yields instances of ItemData, and the map call in the example above gets the list of corresponding Item instances.
