SimpleDB dialect for NHibernate

Question

Do you know if there is a way of using Amazon SimpleDB with NHibernate? LightSpeed seems to be compatible.

Answer 1

NHibernate is more oriented to traditional SQL databases, so no. But you might want to check out Linq To SimpleDB instead.

Answer 2

You may want to check out Simple Savant, an open-source .NET persistence library designed specifically for SimpleDB (I'm the creator). SimpleDB is so different from a relational database that it would be difficult to use with NHibernate. But Simple Savant will get you many similar features.
