        ==========================================
        The MonetDB MAPI and SQL client python API
        ==========================================
        
        
        Introduction
        ============
        
        This is the new native python client API.  This API is cross-platform,
        and doesn't depend on any monetdb libraries.  It has support for
        python 2.5+ and is Python DBAPI 2.0 compatible.
        
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        To install the MonetDB python API run the following command from the
        python source directory::
        
         # python setup.py install
        
        That's all, now you are ready to start using the API.
        
        
        Documentation
        =============
        
        The python code is well documented, so if you need to find
        documentation you should have a look at the source code.  Below is an
        interactive example on how to use the monetdb SQL API which should get
        you started quite fast.
        
        
        Examples
        ========
        
        There are some examples in the 'examples' folder, but here are is a
        line by line example of the SQL API::
        
         > # import the SQL module
         > import monetdb.sql
         > 
         > # set up a connection. arguments below are the defaults
         > connection = monetdb.sql.connect(username="monetdb", password="monetdb", hostname="localhost", database="demo")
         > 
         > # create a cursor
         > cursor = connection.cursor()
         > 
         > # increase the rows fetched to increase performance (optional)
         > cursor.arraysize = 100
         >
         > # execute a query (return the number of rows to fetch)
         > cursor.execute('SELECT * FROM tables')
         26
         >
         > # fetch only one row
         > cursor.fetchone()
         [1062, 'schemas', 1061, None, 0, True, 0, 0]
         >
         > # fetch the remaining rows
         > cursor.fetchall()
         [[1067, 'types', 1061, None, 0, True, 0, 0],
          [1076, 'functions', 1061, None, 0, True, 0, 0],
          [1085, 'args', 1061, None, 0, True, 0, 0],
          [1093, 'sequences', 1061, None, 0, True, 0, 0],
          [1103, 'dependencies', 1061, None, 0, True, 0, 0],
          [1107, 'connections', 1061, None, 0, True, 0, 0],
          [1116, '_tables', 1061, None, 0, True, 0, 0],
          ...
          [4141, 'user_role', 1061, None, 0, True, 0, 0],
          [4144, 'auths', 1061, None, 0, True, 0, 0],
          [4148, 'privileges', 1061, None, 0, True, 0, 0]]
         >
         > # Show the table meta data
         > cursor.description 
         [('id', 'int', 4, 4, None, None, None),
          ('name', 'varchar', 12, 12, None, None, None),
          ('schema_id', 'int', 4, 4, None, None, None),
          ('query', 'varchar', 168, 168, None, None, None),
          ('type', 'smallint', 1, 1, None, None, None),
          ('system', 'boolean', 5, 5, None, None, None),
          ('commit_action', 'smallint', 1, 1, None, None, None),
          ('temporary', 'tinyint', 1, 1, None, None, None)]
        
         
        If you would like to communicate with the database at a lower level
        you can use the MAPI library::
        
         > from monetdb import mapi
         > server = mapi.Server()
         > server.connect(hostname="localhost", port=50000, username="monetdb", password="monetdb", database="demo", language="sql")
         > server.cmd("sSELECT * FROM tables;")
         ...
