Hi,

this is a public announcement for the first release of Intersystems Cache Object-Relational Mapper in Python 3. Project's main repository is located at Github (healiseu/IntersystemsCacheORM).

About the project

CacheORM module is an enhanced OOP porting of Intersystems Cache-Python binding. There are three classes implemented:

• CacheClient This is the super class of CachePython module. It wraps two functions from intersys.pythonbind module pythonbind3.connection() and pythonbind3.database().

• CacheQuery A subclass of CacheClient that wraps methods and adds extra functionality in intersys.pythonbind.databaseand intersys.pythonbind.query classes

• CacheClass A subclass of CacheClient, that wraps methods and adds extra functionality in intersys.pythonbind.databaseand intersys.pythonbind.object classes

The intersys.pythonbind package is a Python C extension that provides Python application with transparent connectivity to the objects stored in the Caché database.

Connected Data London Conference

TRIADB is an emerging unique and valuable technology in NoSQL database modelling and BI analytics. The following video is from a presentation and demonstration of TRIADB prototype implemented on top of Intersystems Cache database and driven with a CLI in Python (Jupyter-Pandas). In fact this is the second time in the past year that a prototype based on this technology is implemented and demonstrated. The first one was built on top of OrientDB multi-model database and driven by a Mathematica notebook.

Introduction

Have you noticed that what ever the model and data structure in databases we cannot escape from the fundamental principle of managing data allocation space with references, i.e. pointer based logic, memory addressing ? Isn’t this the fundamental mechanism of programming languages too ? The problem I see with all these modern NoSQL databases, especially graph databases is that they provide a higher level abstraction for the end developer but they hide and lock completely the access to the low level storage and retrieval mechanism including indexes.

Hi,

I am experimenting with Cache-Python binding.  In the following piece of Python code

import intersys.pythonbind3

conn = intersys.pythonbind3.connection( )
conn.connect_now('localhost[1972]:SAMPLES', '_SYSTEM', '123', None)
samplesDB = intersys.pythonbind3.database(conn)
p10 = samplesDB.openid("Sample.Person",'10',-1,-1)
p10.run_obj_method("PrintPerson",[])

I am opening the 10th record of Sample.Person class and then I am calling an object method (PrintPerson). 

Method PrintPerson()

  {

    Write !, "Name: ", .

Hi,

I would like to draw your attention on a recently published article, titled "A Quick Guide on How to Prevail in the Graph Database Arena", that has been posted also at LinkedIn Intersystems Caché has been referenced several times.
