These are the functions available to OpenBD for interacting with the Simple Queue Service from Amazon Web Services.

Amazon SQS provides the following major features:

• Redundant infrastructure—Guarantees delivery of your messages at least once, highly concurrent access to messages, and high availability for sending and retrieving messages

• Multiple writers and readers—Multiple parts of your system can send or receive messages at the same time

• SQS locks the message during processing, keeping other parts of your system from processing the message simultaneously.

• Configurable settings per queue—All of your queues don't have to be exactly alike

• Variable message size—Your messages can be up to 8 KB in size

• For even larger messages, you can store the contents of the message using the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) or Amazon SimpleDB and use Amazon SQS to hold a pointer to the Amazon S3 or Amazon SDB object. Alternately, you can split the larger message into smaller ones.

• Unlimited queues and messages—You can have as many queues and messages in the Amazon SQS system as you want

• Access control—You can control who can send messages to a queue, and who can receive messages from a queue
