SchemaCrawler - Ruby Scripting Example

Description

SchemaCrawler allows scripting with database metadata, using Ruby. This example shows how to script with Ruby.

How to Setup

  1. Make sure that java is on your PATH
  2. Start a command shell in the _downloader directory
  3. Run download.cmd ruby (or download.sh ruby on Unix) to install Ruby 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 ruby example directory
  4. Run ruby.cmd tables.rb (or ruby.sh tables.rb on Unix)

How to Experiment

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