Re: re[2]: [Rlib-users] new test release soon

John you are my hero!!!!

You saved me a whole hell of a lot of time

This now works... and I assume the bindings will be just as easy in
other languages :)

#!/usr/bin/python2.2

import librlib;

test = librlib.rlib_init();
res = librlib.rlib_add_datasource_mysql(test, "mysql", "localhost",
"user", "password", "database");
librlib.rlib_add_query_as(test, "mysql", "select * from example",
"example");
librlib.rlib_add_report(test, "report.xml", "");
librlib.rlib_set_output_format_from_text(test, "PDF");
librlib.rlib_execute(test);
librlib.rlib_spool(test);
librlib.rlib_free(test);
