//create a databse 
cpent.db_create( db_name, pyorient.DB_TYPE_GRAPH, pyorient.STORAGE_TYPE_MEMORY ) 

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

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

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