| 1 SQLPython is an open-source command-line environment for interacting with an | |
| 2 Oracle database. It is designed as an alternative to Oracle's SQL*Plus. | |
| 3 | |
| 4 Installing | |
| 5 ---------- | |
| 6 | |
| 7 Debian/Ubuntu:: | |
| 8 | |
| 9 $ sudo apt-get install python python-dev python-setuptools | |
| 10 $ sudo easy_install cx_Oracle | |
| 11 $ sudo easy_install -UZ sqlpython | |
| 12 | |
| 13 Windows: | |
| 14 Download and run executable installers from:: | |
| 15 | |
| 16 http://www.python.org (Python language) | |
| 17 http://cx-oracle.sourceforge.net/ (cx_Oracle) | |
| 18 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sqlpython (sqlpython) | |
| 19 | |
| 20 Other: | |
| 21 Python is typically already installed. You'll need its | |
| 22 development package (python-dev); then easy_install | |
| 23 cx_Oracle and sqlpython as per Debian. | |
| 24 | |
| 25 Using | |
| 26 ----- | |
| 27 | |
| 28 Use sqlpython more or less as you would use SQL*Plus. | |
| 29 | |
| 30 Read the help. Experiment with UNIX-style and postgresql-style | |
| 31 commands. | |
| 32 | |
| 33 Modifying | |
| 34 --------- | |
| 35 | |
| 36 Modify mysqlpy.py; add `do_mycommand(self, arg)` methods to the | |
| 37 mysqlpy class to add your own commands. Use `self.stdout.write(txt)` | |
| 38 in place of `print txt` to make sure your output can be redirected | |
| 39 into text files or the paste buffer with `>` and `>>`. | |
