  2. Start a command shell in the _downloader directory
  3. Run download.cmd python (or download.sh python on Unix) to install Python scripting support

How to Run

  1. Make sure that java is on your PATH
  2. Start the test database server by following instructions in the _testdb/README.html file
  3. Start a command shell in the python example directory

How to Experiment

  1. Run python.cmd droptables.py (or python.sh droptables.py on Unix). (In order to restore the database, restart the database server.)
  2. Try modifying the Python in the *.py files to do different things. You also have access to a live database connection.
