select itemName() from amazon simpledb using boto

Question

I'm trying to get itemName() from a simpleDB select query using boto, but doing select itemName() from domain where attribute = 'foo' limit 10 gives me an result set with 10 items but they are all empty.

I've also tried select `itemName()` from domain where attribute = 'foo' and select itemName from domain where attribute = 'foo'.

The Item objects returned are empty because you are not asking for any attributes in the query. The itemName is not really an attribute. It is stored as a special value on the Item object that is accessible as item.name.

9 months later I find this and thank you - couldn't find that in the boto docs. – raindog308 Mar 01 '13 at 16:35
