Instance API

User friendly container for Cloud Spanner Instance.

class google.cloud.spanner_v1.instance.Instance(instance_id, client, configuration_name=None, node_count=None, display_name=None, emulator_host=None, labels=None, processing_units=None)[source]

Bases: object

Representation of a Cloud Spanner Instance.

We can use a Instance to:

Parameters
  • instance_id (str) – The ID of the instance.

  • client (Client) – The client that owns the instance. Provides authorization and a project ID.

  • configuration_name (str) – Name of the instance configuration defining how the instance will be created. Required for instances which do not yet exist.

  • node_count (int) – (Optional) Number of nodes allocated to the instance.

  • processing_units (int) – (Optional) The number of processing units allocated to this instance.

  • display_name (str) – (Optional) The display name for the instance in the Cloud Console UI. (Must be between 4 and 30 characters.) If this value is not set in the constructor, will fall back to the instance ID.

  • labels (dict (str -> str) or None) – (Optional) User-assigned labels for this instance.

backup(backup_id, database='', expire_time=None, version_time=None, encryption_config=None)[source]

Factory to create a backup within this instance.

Parameters
  • backup_id (str) – The ID of the backup.

  • database (Database) – Optional. The database that will be used when creating the backup. Required if the create method needs to be called.

  • expire_time (datetime.datetime) – Optional. The expire time that will be used when creating the backup. Required if the create method needs to be called.

  • version_time (datetime.datetime) – Optional. The version time that will be used to create the externally consistent copy of the database. If not present, it is the same as the create_time of the backup.

  • encryption_config (CreateBackupEncryptionConfig or dict) – (Optional) Encryption configuration for the backup. If a dict is provided, it must be of the same form as the protobuf message CreateBackupEncryptionConfig

Return type

Backup

Returns

a backup owned by this instance.

copy()[source]

Make a copy of this instance.

Copies the local data stored as simple types and copies the client attached to this instance.

Return type

Instance

Returns

A copy of the current instance.

copy_backup(backup_id, source_backup, expire_time=None, encryption_config=None)[source]

Factory to create a copy backup within this instance.

Parameters
  • backup_id (str) – The ID of the backup copy.

  • source_backup_id – The full path of the source backup to be copied.

  • expire_time (datetime.datetime) – Optional. The expire time that will be used when creating the copy backup. Required if the create method needs to be called.

  • encryption_config (CopyBackupEncryptionConfig or dict) – (Optional) Encryption configuration for the backup. If a dict is provided, it must be of the same form as the protobuf message CopyBackupEncryptionConfig

Return type

Backup

Returns

a copy backup owned by this instance.

create()[source]

Create this instance.

See https://cloud.google.com/spanner/reference/rpc/google.spanner.admin.instance.v1#google.spanner.admin.instance.v1.InstanceAdmin.CreateInstance

Note

Uses the project and instance_id on the current Instance in addition to the display_name. To change them before creating, reset the values via

instance.display_name = 'New display name'
instance.instance_id = 'i-changed-my-mind'

before calling create().

Return type

Operation

Returns

an operation instance

Raises

Conflict – if the instance already exists

database(database_id, ddl_statements=(), pool=None, logger=None, encryption_config=None, database_dialect=<DatabaseDialect.DATABASE_DIALECT_UNSPECIFIED: 0>, database_role=None, enable_drop_protection=False)[source]

Factory to create a database within this instance.

Parameters
  • database_id (str) – The ID of the database.

  • ddl_statements (list of string) – (Optional) DDL statements, excluding the ‘CREATE DATABASE’ statement.

  • pool (concrete subclass of AbstractSessionPool.) – (Optional) session pool to be used by database.

  • logger (logging.Logger) – (Optional) a custom logger that is used if log_commit_stats is True to log commit statistics. If not passed, a logger will be created when needed that will log the commit statistics to stdout.

  • encryption_config (EncryptionConfig or RestoreDatabaseEncryptionConfig or dict) – (Optional) Encryption configuration for the database. If a dict is provided, it must be of the same form as either of the protobuf messages EncryptionConfig or RestoreDatabaseEncryptionConfig

  • database_dialect (DatabaseDialect) – (Optional) database dialect for the database

  • enable_drop_protection (boolean) – (Optional) Represents whether the database has drop protection enabled or not.

Return type

Database

Returns

a database owned by this instance.

delete()[source]

Soon afterward:

  • The instance and all databases within the instance will be deleted. All data in the databases will be permanently deleted.

exists()[source]
