  Querying InterSystems IRIS with the Python DB-API

  Content Type
  Exercise

  Duration
  10m

  Level
  Introductory

  Learn how to run basic SQL from Python to query InterSystems IRIS databases using the DB-API. Using Python and InterSystems IRIS, you can build modern, data-driven applications using the tools you already have.

  In this exercise, you will use Python to establish a DB-API connection with InterSystems IRIS and then practice building a table and running queries.
