Subscription Object

Note

This object is an extension the DB API.

Subscription.callback

This read-only attribute returns the callback that was registered when the subscription was created.

Subscription.connection

This read-only attribute returns the connection that was used to register the subscription when it was created.

Subscription.id

This read-only attribute returns the registration ID returned by the database when the subscription was created.

Deprecated since version 6.0: This attribute was never intended to be exposed.

Subscription.namespace

This read-only attribute returns the namespace used to register the subscription when it was created.

Subscription.operations

This read-only attribute returns the operations that will send notifications for each table or query that is registered using this subscription.

Subscription.port

This read-only attribute returns the port used for callback notifications from the database server. If not set during construction, this value is zero.

Subscription.protocol

This read-only attribute returns the protocol used to register the subscription when it was created.

Subscription.qos

This read-only attribute returns the quality of service flags used to register the subscription when it was created.

Subscription.registerquery(statement[, args])

Register the query for subsequent notification when tables referenced by the query are changed. This behaves similarly to cursor.execute() but only queries are permitted and the args parameter must be a sequence or dictionary. If the qos parameter included the flag cx_Oracle.SUBSCR_QOS_QUERY when the subscription was created, then the ID for the registered query is returned; otherwise, None is returned.

Subscription.timeout

This read-only attribute returns the timeout (in seconds) that was specified when the subscription was created. A value of 0 indicates that there is no timeout.

Message.txid

This read-only attribute returns the id of the transaction that generated the notification.

Message.queries

Message.subscription

This read-only attribute returns the subscription object for which this notification was generated.

Message.tables

Message.type

This read-only attribute returns the type of message that has been sent. See the constants section on event types for additional information.

Message Table Objects

This object is created internally for each table changed when notification is received and is found in the tables attribute of message objects, and the tables attribute of message query objects.

MessageTable.name

This read-only attribute returns the name of the table that was changed.

MessageTable.operation

This read-only attribute returns the operation that took place on the table that was changed.

MessageTable.rows

This read-only attribute returns a list of message row objects that give information about the rows changed on the table. This value is only filled in if the qos parameter to the Connection.subscribe() method included the flag SUBSCR_QOS_ROWIDS.

MessageRow.operation

This read-only attribute returns the operation that took place on the row that was changed.

MessageRow.rowid

This read-only attribute returns the rowid of the row that was changed.

Message Query Objects

Note

This object is created internally for each query result set changed when notification is received and is found in the queries attribute of message objects.

MessageQuery.id

This read-only attribute returns the query id of the query for which the result set changed. The value will match the value returned by Subscription.registerquery when the related query was registered.

MessageQuery.operation

This read-only attribute returns the operation that took place on the query result set that was changed. Valid values for this attribute are EVENT_DEREG and EVENT_QUERYCHANGE.

MessageQuery.tables

This read-only attribute returns a list of message table objects that give information about the table changes that caused the query result set to change for this notification.
