NAME

 MonetDB::CLI::MapiLib - MonetDB::CLI implementation, using MapiLib

SYNOPSIS

 use MonetDB::CLI::MapiLib;

 my $cxn = MonetDB::CLI::MapiLib->connect( $host, $port, $user, $pass, $lang );

 my $req = $cxn->query('select * from env');
 while ( my $cnt = $req->fetch ) {
   print $req->field( $_ ) for 0 .. $cnt-1;
 }

DESCRIPTION

 MonetDB::CLI::MapiLib is an implementation of the MonetDB call level interface
 MonetDB::CLI.
 It uses the SWIG generated MapiLib - a wrapper module for libMapi.
 Normally, you don't use this module directly, but let MonetDB::CLI
 choose an implementation module.

PREREQUISITES

 MapiLib

 MonetDB (http://monetdb.cwi.nl)

INSTALLATION

 To install this module type the following:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make test
   make install

 You need to use the correct make command. That may be nmake or dmake,
 depending on which development environment you are using.

TESTING

 The supplied tests will connect to the database using some
 environment variables, e.g.:

   set MONETDB_HOST=myhost
   set MONETDB_PORT=4711

 Don't specify port and language (if possible). The server should
 listen on the default ports for sql and mapi.

 If the server doesn't accept the default username/password, then
 set the relevant environment variables, e.g.:

   set MONETDB_USER=test
   set MONETDB_PASS=secret

 Make sure libMapi is in your library search path.
