Salesforce uses a query language called SOQL : Sforce Object Query Language,
similar to GQL you refer to.

If I'm right 'Documents' in this case would mean the Salesforce Objects such
as Accounts and Leads so I think an adapter would defiantly be worthwhile.

To access the Objects at present Salesforce offers a relatively small PHP
toolkit that uses the PHP SOAP module.

Maybe you can tell me if they have services for which Simple Cloud API
adapters are appropriate. Keep in mind that adapters can be written for
almost any kind of service; it doesn’t have to be a RESTful, SOAP, XML-RPC,
etc. service. In fact, all of the adapters currently are written to what
appear to be local services, like the client lib for S3.



I’ve thought about how appropriate a document service adapter would be for
Google’s GQL database, for example. Of course, that will be some to consider
for the Simple Cloud API after they finally get around to supporting PHP. ;)

Hi,

Will Simple Cloud do anything with Salesforce?

At the moment I am working with Salesforce and would like to help/get
involved by providing a Salesforce adapter in the near future, would this be
something of use? or is it not really applicable?

Thanks

Hi all,



On Sept. 22, Zend launched the Simple Cloud API project:
<http://www.simplecloud.org>http://www.simplecloud.org



This ambitious project makes cloud application services from vendors such as
Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and Rackspace available through one API, bringing
the platform portability that you expect from PHP to the cloud.



I’m happy to announce that the proposals for
Zend_Cloud_Storage<http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Cloud_Storage+-+Wil+Sinclair>,
Zend_Cloud_Queue<http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Cloud_Queue+-+Wil+Sinclair>,
and 
Zend_Cloud_Document<http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Cloud_Document+-+Wil+Sinclair>are
now ready for review.



Please take a look at the proposals and leave any feedback you have.



Thanks!

,Wil
