This document will help you to quickly start to use scripting languages (Perl, PHP and Python) with DBMaker. You should follow these steps:

1. Choose a directory and create a database.

   $ mkdir test
   $ cd test
   $ dmsqls
   
   dmSQL> create db test;
    USE db #1 connected to db:<test> by user:<SYSADM>
   
   dmSQL> create table t1 (c1 int, c2 char(10));
   
   dmSQL> insert into t1 values (?, ?);
   
   dmSQL/Val> 1, 'dbmaker';
   1 rows inserted
   
   dmSQL/Val> 2, 'database';
   1 rows inserted
   
   dmSQL/Val> end;
   
   dmSQL> commit;
   
   dmSQL> terminate db;
   USE db #1 terminated(CURRENT)
   
   dmSQL> q;
   $
   

2. Start the database.
