#Metabase variables install#

If you want to execute the installation script setup_test.php from the command line interface you need to type for instance:

#Metabase variables install#

This CGI program can also be used to execute PHP scripts from a command line interface shell.ДЄlthough it is possible do the same using PHP as Web server module, it is recommended that you use the CGI program to run the PHP scripts to install or setup databases using Metabase. When PHP is built as CGI program a standalone executable program file is generated. PHP is usually run from a Web server, mostly as a server module, but it can also run as CGI program. Д«efore start using Metabase there are a few installation requirements that developers need to know and understand. For more in depth information, please refer to the Metabase documentation manual. The goal of this tutorial is to introduce the basic steps that beginners have to take to start developing database applications with Metabase. The main advantage of Metabase is that developers only need to learn and use one set of commands to implement applications that may run with many different DBMS. The steps that developers have to take to write Metabase based applications are identical to those that are taken while using the set of native commands that are used to talk to each DBMS directly.

Metabase is a package that allows the developers to write database applications in PHP that are independent of the DBMS ( DataBase Management System).
