SimpleDb as database for rails tutorial

Question

I'm Following the wonderful Michael Hartl's tutorial which can be found here:

http://ruby.railstutorial.org/

I'm trying to modify my database backend from PostgreSQL to Amazon SimpleDB.. Any ideas on how to achieve this without breaking my existing app would be most helpful!

Thanks.
