Good post about SSDS Query Language

Ryan Dunn has a fairly detailed post on the SSDS query model here . Ryan has prototyped some application code already, so his description of the query model is worth a read.

SQL Server Data Services (SSDS) is simple, but it is not SimpleDB

There are press articles and some blog posts here and here that is comparing SQL Server Data Services to Amazon SimpleDB or S3 . If we look at the data model and query capabilities of SSDS as described by Nigel Ellis here , it is not hard to see why.
