I want to connect IRIS system as it has all the database tables. on top of that I am creating a REST API in python. How can I connect to IRIS DB. here is my example code for connection

def connect():

connection_string = "localhost:1972/USER"

username = "_SYSTEM"

password = "SYS"

conn = iris.connect(connection_string, username, password)

after this connection is created but how can I get tables data. Please let me know more about how we can integrate IRIS database into a python REST API.

I am having code like this,

set args = []

set resultSet = ##class(%SQL.Statement).%ExecDirect( , sql_whereClause, args)

Instead of placing args[1],args[2] etc into the above I want to pass the whole args at a time if it possible.?
