@Sonic Soft: You would need to define a custom formatter for your Person class to make this work. Use the CustomFormatAttribute for this. In short, if you want a Person to be saved as a stringified attribute value you need to tell Simple Savant how to serialize it.

Hi,

I tried to use Simple Savant to store an object that have a property defined as List{Person}, where Person is another class on the project. It does saves it, but when I retrieve the object back the list is always null. Is there a limitation for properties defined as collections?

Thanks

PD: I used curly brackets for the list definition because blogger don't

@ldoolitt: You can disable caching by setting SavantConfig.Cache to null before instantiating SimpleSavant:

SavantConfig config = new SavantConfig{Cache=null};
SimpleSavant savant = new SimpleSavant(awsId, awsKey, config);

Is there a way to turn off the auto caching? Great feature but in my setup this is just a hindrance.

I think I'm doing something wrong here, but I can't see it:

[SavantExclude]
public string Example
{
get
{
return ("Hello");
}
}

This results in an error message saying "Only public, read/write properties may be used with Savant. The following non-conforming properties of type 'CloudData.Case'

@Ashley, thanks, that makes perfect sense.

Thanks again for this. This will massively speed up the development of most websites I make these days. It's great fun to work with. Thanks for sharing.

@timb: You can only control page sizes by using the limit keyword in your query, not through the Savant API. (I believe the default page size is 100.)

@ashley - ah yes, that works a treat. Thanks very much! I had tried the maxpage thing before but I think I was setting to the the same value as the limit so that's what I was doing wrong there. By the way, how many results are there per page? Is this configurable?

2009-10-29T12:21:15.047-04:00

@timb: Just set SelectCommand.MaxResultPages = 1. By default Savant retrieves and aggregates all results available for a query. So 'limit' only constrains the page-size, not the total results.

Hi there, sorry but does the 'limit' keyword work?

For example this...
select * from mydomain where Count > '0' order by Count desc limit 3

returns all the results within the where clause (about 100).

Thanks for your help :) (loving savant by the way)

It's pretty straightforward:

PersonItem person = new PersonItem {
Id = Guid.NewGuid()
};
savant.Put<PersonItem>(person);
savant.Delete<PersonItem>(person.Id);

See this post for the PersonItem definition: http://coditate.blogspot.com/2009/03/simple-savant-c-interface-to-amazon.html

Could you post a Delete example? I'm getting an exception "Expected type of [System.String] but was [System.Guid]." when specifying an instance to delete (attempting to delete a row, so to speak). Almost there on my project! Thanks!
