OS: Ubuntu 18.04(x64) (gcc 7.3.0)
SWIG: 3.0.12
Python: 3.6
GridDB C client: V4.2 CE (Note: If you build from source code, please use GCC 4.8.5.)
GridDB server: V4.2 CE, Ubuntu 18.04(x64) (Note: If you build from source code, please use GCC 4.8.5.)

OS: Windows 10(x64) (VS2017)
SWIG: 3.0.12
Python: 3.6
GridDB C client: V4.2 CE
GridDB server: V4.2 CE, CentOS 7.6(x64) (GCC 4.8.5)

QuickStart (CentOS, Ubuntu)

Preparations

Install SWIG as below.

$ wget https://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/swig/swig-3.0.12.tar.gz
$ tar xvfz swig-3.0.12.tar.gz
$ cd swig-3.0.12
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

Note: If CentOS, you might need to install pcre in advance.
$ sudo yum install pcre2-devel.x86_64

Install GridDB Server and C Client. (Note: If you build them from source code, please use GCC 4.8.5.)

Set CPATH and LIBRARY_PATH.

export CPATH=$CPATH:<Python header file directory path>

export LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH:<C client library file directory path>

Build and Run

1. Execute the command on project directory.

$ make

2. Set the PYTHONPATH variable for griddb Python module files.

$ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<installed directory path>

3. Import griddb_python in Python.

How to run sample

GridDB Server need to be started in advance.

1. Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:<C client library file directory path>

2. The command to run sample

    $ sample/sample1.py <GridDB notification address> <GridDB notification port>
        <GridDB cluster name> <GridDB user> <GridDB password>
      -->Person: name=name02 status=False count=2 lob=[65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74]

QuickStart (Windows)

Please refer to Cmake Build Guide

Function

(available)

• STRING, BOOL, BYTE, SHORT, INTEGER, LONG, FLOAT, DOUBLE, TIMESTAMP, BLOB type for GridDB
• put single row, get row with key
• normal query, aggregation with TQL
• Multi-Put/Get/Query (batch processing)
• Array type for GridDB

(not available)

• GEOMETRY type for GridDB
• timeseries compression
• timeseries-specific function like gsAggregateTimeSeries, gsQueryByTimeSeriesSampling in C client
• trigger, affinity

Please refer to the following files for more detailed information.

• Python Client API Reference

Note:

1. The current API might be changed in the next version. e.g. ContainerInfo
2. When you install C Client with RPM or DEB, you don't need to set LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
3. There is Python Client (0.7.6) Package for CentOS on The Python Package Index (PyPI) .
