Quick Setup Steps for Setting Python for SAP SYBASE IQ

sqlanydb is SQL Antywhere Python database interfaces for data access API for the Phython language. Steps listed below can be used to set up Phython for Sap Sybase IQ. The Python database API is very powerful programming languge, set of  methods used  by this API provides a consistent  database interface independent of the database being used.   For detailed information about Python Database specification v2.0,

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/.

and for supported platforms refer to:

From SAP Sybste Release directory,  cd $SYBASE/IQ-15_4

1. [IQ-15_4]$ source IQ-15_4.csh
Sourcing SYBASE.csh
2. [ IQ-15_4]$ cd sdk
[sdk]$ ls
c  dbcapi  include  perl  perlenv  php  phpenv  python  ruby
3. [sdk]$ cd python
[ python]$ ls
build  scripts  setup.py  sqlanydb.py

4. As root

[ python]$ sudo python setup.py install
[sudo] password for user1:
running install
running build
running build_py
running install_lib
copying build/lib/sqlanydb.py -> /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
byte-compiling /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sqlanydb.py to sqlanydb.pyc
running install_egg_info
Writing /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sqlanydb-1.0.2-py2.6.egg-info
[ python]$

5, edit test.py(This script will start IQ server )  with correct dbn and dbname

6. python /rhvm1_work/rel154_iq_esd2/IQ-15_4/sdk/python/scripts/test.py

===================================
IQ server starting with:
     10 connections         (       -gm )
     14 cmd resources       ( -iqgovern )
    136 threads             (     -iqmt )
    512 Kb thread stack size   (   -iqtss  )
  69632 Kb thread memory size ( -iqmt * -iqtss )
      2 IQ number of cpus  ( -iqnumbercpus )
      0 MB maximum size of IQMSG file ( -iqmsgsz )
      0 copies of IQMSG file archives ( -iqmsgnum )
