Mike Bayer d5f390f55c Improve failure mode handling in enginefacade
Check explicitly for the cases where no "sql_connection"
attribute was set when running _start(), so that the
lack of this parameter is documented by the
exception rather than failing into create_engine()
with an unclear failure mode.
If _start() fails as it will here, make sure _started
stays False so that repeated calls to _start() continue
to raise the same exception, rather than raising
attribute errors.  When accessing the "session" or
"connection" attributes of the context when these
attributes were not requested by the decorator or
context manager, raise explicit exceptions
for each, rather than returning None which leads to
hard-to-debug NoneType errors.

Usage

To use oslo.db in a project:
Session Handling
================
Session handling is achieved using the :mod:`oslo_db.sqlalchemy.enginefacade`
system. This module presents a function decorator as well as a
context manager approach to delivering :class:`.Session` as well as
:class:`.Connection` objects to a function or block.
Both calling styles require the use of a context object. This object may
be of any class, though when used with the decorator form, requires
special instrumentation.
The context manager form is as follows:
.. code:: python
from oslo_db.sqlalchemy import enginefacade
class MyContext(object):
"User-defined context class."
def some_reader_api_function(context):
with enginefacade.reader.using(context) as session:
return session.query(SomeClass).all()
def some_writer_api_function(context, x, y):
with enginefacade.writer.using(context) as session:
session.add(SomeClass(x, y))
def run_some_database_calls():
context = MyContext()
results = some_reader_api_function(context)
some_writer_api_function(context, 5, 10)
The decorator form accesses attributes off the user-defined context
directly; the context must be decorated with the
:func:`oslo_db.sqlalchemy.enginefacade.transaction_context_provider`
decorator. Each function must receive the context as the first
positional argument:
.. code:: python
from oslo_db.sqlalchemy import enginefacade
@enginefacade.transaction_context_provider
class MyContext(object):
"User-defined context class."
@enginefacade.reader
def some_reader_api_function(context):
return context.session.query(SomeClass).all()
@enginefacade.writer
def some_writer_api_function(context, x, y):
context.session.add(SomeClass(x, y))
def run_some_database_calls():
context = MyContext()
results = some_reader_api_function(context)
some_writer_api_function(context, 5, 10)
.. note:: The ``context.session`` and ``context.connection`` attributes
must be accessed within the scope of an appropriate writer/reader block
(either the decorator or contextmanager approach). An AttributeError is
raised otherwise.
The scope of transaction and connectivity for both approaches is managed
transparently. The configuration for the connection comes from the standard
:obj:`oslo_config.cfg.CONF` collection. Additional configurations can be
established for the enginefacade using the
:func:`oslo_db.sqlalchemy.enginefacade.configure` function, before any use of
the database begins:
.. code:: python
from oslo_db.sqlalchemy import enginefacade
enginefacade.configure(
sqlite_fk=True,
max_retries=5,
mysql_sql_mode='ANSI'
)
Base class for models usage
===========================
.. code:: python
from oslo.db import models
class ProjectSomething(models.TimestampMixin,
models.ModelBase):
id = Column(Integer, primary_key=True)
...
DB API backend support
======================
.. code:: python
from oslo.config import cfg
from oslo.db import api as db_api
_BACKEND_MAPPING = {'sqlalchemy': 'project.db.sqlalchemy.api'}
IMPL = db_api.DBAPI.from_config(cfg.CONF, backend_mapping=_BACKEND_MAPPING)
def get_engine():
return IMPL.get_engine()
def get_session():
return IMPL.get_session()
# DB-API method
def do_something(somethind_id):
return IMPL.do_something(somethind_id)
