You need to take care of adequately padding values that need conversion (dates, numbers etc) which becomes very tedious to developers new to SimpleDB. LightSpeed will automatically see the type you're using and take care of the mapping into SimpleDB. This means you don't have to worry when working with DateTimes or Ints on how they're stored in the cloud - it just works :-) Hope that helps, - JD It’s useful to note the benefits of using the LightSpeed O/R Mapper over SimpleDB:
