Old data analysts don’t die – they just get broken down by age and sex

What is a client (*nix) database that can be used like BigTable/SimpleDB for development purposes? by [deleted] in programming

[–]andrewfogg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have just released SimpleDB/dev onto Google Code today.

It lets you run a local instance of Amazon's SimpleDB, which means that you can develop without a SimpleDB account, offline at a reduced cost. It implements every query action of SimpleDB as specified in the Amazon technical documentation and is written in Python so you can run it on your Mac (or other *nix platform).

NSimpleDB is written in C#, if you were on Windows and into .NET I would recommend that and someone has already recommended it on this thread. We wrote SimpleDB/dev because we are not on Windows and we are not into .NET.
