-  # = RightAws::ActiveSdb -- RightScale SDB interface (alpha release)
-  # The RightAws::ActiveSdb class provides a complete interface to Amazon's Simple
-  # Database Service.
-  # 
-  # ActiveSdb is in alpha and does not load by default with the rest of RightAws.  You must use an additional require statement to load the ActiveSdb class.  For example:
-  # 
-  #   require 'right_aws'
-  #   require 'sdb/active_sdb'
-  #   
-  # Additionally, the ActiveSdb class requires the 'uuidtools' gem; this gem is not normally required by RightAws and is not installed as a 
-  # dependency of RightAws.
-  #
-  # Simple ActiveSdb usage example:
-  #
-  #  class Client < RightAws::ActiveSdb::Base 
-  #  end
-  #  
-  #  # connect to SDB
-  #  RightAws::ActiveSdb.establish_connection
