SchemaCrawler Example

# SchemaCrawler - Python Scripting Example

## Description

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

## 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 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
4. Run `python.cmd tables.py` (or `python.sh tables.py` on Unix)

## 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.
