What URL should I use to create my simpleDB domain?

Question

I cannot figure out where I can create a domain for my simpleDB. I went to the AWS Management Console, I was able to create a bucket for S3, but I do not have a simple DB tab.

Did I miss something?

Answer 1

SimpleDB is not yet supported by the AWS console. They may eventually add it, but for now, you need to use direct service calls (with the SDK, this is the easiest).

Answer 2

SDB Tool is a great FOSS Firefox plugin:

Answer 3

You can use the SDB explorer. SDB Explorer was created as a graphical user interface (GUI) to explore the Amazon SimpleDB service thoroughly and in a very efficient and user friendly way.

You can try Javascript Scratchpad for Amazon SimpleDB

Answer 5

Or if you're a Python fan, try the boto library, which is designed to access AWS resources. More information can be found here: http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/simpledb_tut.html
