a lot of his problems seem to suggest that SimpleDB require more coding to contol the data.
the counter argument is, that okay, this is true, but you also don't do any maintenance ... which seems like a fair trade-off, plus you can always add an abstraction layer in code that simplify the cooding
so my question becomes, can't one add an abstraction layer on top of simpledb that makes it act more like a traditional rdbms ?
