I thought it was charged like this, if you use it once then the minimum amount you will be charged is for an hours usage per hour.

but it could end up really expensive if you are hitting your database a lot. 100k users hitting a 2 second query per view ain't going to be cheap.

No.

Machine Utilization - $0.14 per Amazon SimpleDB Machine Hour consumed

Amazon SimpleDB measures the machine utilization of each request and charges based on the amount of machine capacity used to complete the particular request (QUERY, GET, PUT, etc.), normalized to the hourly capacity of a circa 2007 1.7 GHz Xeon processor.
