• Insert record into my class.

//create connection 
client = pyorient.OrientDB("localhost", 2424) 
session_id = client.connect( "admin", "admin" )
 
//create a databse 
client.db_create( db_name, pyorient.DB_TYPE_GRAPH, pyorient.STORAGE_TYPE_MEMORY ) 

//open databse 
client.db_open( DB_Demo, "admin", "admin" ) 

//create class 
cluster_id = client.command( "create class my_class extends V" ) 

//create property 
cluster_id = client.command( "create property my_class.id Integer" ) 
cluster_id = client.command( "create property my_class.name String" ) 

//insert record 
client.command("insert into my_class ( 'id','’name' ) values( 1201, 'satish')") 

Execute the above script using the following command.
