This appendix describes the attributes for OCI handles and descriptors, which can be read with OCIAttrGet(), and modified with OCIAttrSet().
This appendix contains these topics:
For each handle type, the attributes which can be read or changed are listed. Each attribute listing includes the following information:
The following modes are valid:
READ - the attribute can be read using OCIAttrGet()
WRITE - the attribute can be modified using OCIAttrSet()
READ/WRITE - the attribute can be read using OCIAttrGet(), and it can be modified using OCIAttrSet().
This is a description of the purpose of the attribute.
This is the datatype of the attribute. If necessary, a distinction is made between the datatype for READ and WRITE modes.
In some cases, only certain values are allowed, and they are listed here.
In some cases an example is included.
READ/WRITE
This attribute sets the value of OCI_DURATION_DEFAULT for allocation durations for the application associated with the environment handle.
OCIDuration */OCIDuration
READ/WRITE
The login name (DN) to use when connecting to the LDAP server.
OraText **/OraText *
READ/WRITE
When this attribute is set to TRUE, during OCICacheFlush() the objects that belong to the same table are flushed together, which can considerably improve performance. This mode should only be used when the order in which the objects are flushed is not important. During this mode it is not guaranteed that the order in which the objects are marked dirty is preserved.
boolean */boolean
READ/WRITE
Sets the maximum size (high watermark) for the client-side object cache as a percentage of the optimal size. Usually you can set the value at 10%, the default, of the optimal size, OCI_ATTR_CACHE_OPT_SIZE. Setting this attribute to 0 results in a value of 10 being used. The object cache uses the maximum and optimal values for freeing unused memory in the object cache.
ub4 */ub4
READ/WRITE
Sets the optimal size for the client-side object cache in bytes. The default value is 8M bytes. Setting this attribute to 0 results in a value of 8M bytes being used.
ub4 */ub4
READ
Local (client-side) character set ID. Users can update this setting only after creating the environment handle but before calling any other OCI functions. This restriction ensures the consistency among data and metadata in the same environment handle. In UTF-16 mode, an attempt to get this attribute is invalid.
ub2 *
READ
Local (client-side) national character set ID. Users can update this setting only after creating the environment handle but before calling any other OCI functions. This restriction ensures the consistency among data and metadata in the same environment handle. In UTF-16 mode, an attempt to get this attribute is invalid.
ub2 *
READ
Encoding method is UTF-16. The value 1 means that the environment handle is created in UTF-16 mode, while 0 means that it is not. This mode can only be set by the call to OCIEnvCreate() and cannot be changed later.
ub1 *
WRITE
This attribute registers an event callback function.
OCIEventCallback
WRITE
This attribute registers a context passed to an event callback.
dvoid *
READ
The current size of the memory allocated from the environment handle. This may help you track where memory is being used most in an application.
ub4 *
READ/WRITE
The authentication mode. The following are the valid values:
0x0: No authentication; anonymous bind.
0x1: Simple authentication; user name and password authentication.
0x5: SSL connection with no authentication.
0x6: SSL: only server authentication required.
0x7: SSL: both server authentication and client authentication are required.
0x8: Authentication method will be determined at runtime.
ub2 */ub2
READ/WRITE
If the authentication method is "simple authentication" (user name and password authentication), then this attribute holds the password to use when connecting to the LDAP server.
OraText **/OraText *
READ/WRITE
The administrative context of the client. This is usually the root of the Oracle RDBMS LDAP schema in the LDAP server.
OraText **/OraText *
READ/WRITE
The name of the host on which the LDAP server runs.
OraText **/OraText *
READ/WRITE
The port on which the LDAP server is listening.
ub2 */ub2
READ
Returns TRUE if the environment was initialized in object mode.
boolean *
READ/WRITE
This attribute sets the value of OCI_PIN_DEFAULT for the application associated with the environment handle.
For example, if OCI_ATTR_PINOPTION is set to OCI_PIN_RECENT, then if OCIObjectPin() is called with the pin_option parameter set to OCI_PIN_DEFAULT, then the object is pinned in OCI_PIN_RECENT mode.
OCIPinOpt */OCIPinOpt
READ/WRITE
When this attribute is set to TRUE, newly created objects have non-NULL attributes.
boolean */boolean
READ/WRITE
When this attribute is set to TRUE, applications receive an ORA-08179 error when attempting to flush an object which has been modified in the server by another committed transaction.
boolean */boolean
READ/WRITE
This attribute sets the value of OCI_DURATION_DEFAULT for pin durations for the application associated with the environment handle.
OCIDuration */OCIDuration
READ
Returns the size of the memory currently allocated from the shared pool. This attribute works on any environment handle but the process must be initialized in shared mode to return a meaningful value. This attribute is read as follows:
ub4 heapsz = 0;
OCIAttrGet((dvoid *)envhp, (ub4)OCI_HTYPE_ENV,
(dvoid *) &heapsz, (ub4 *) 0,
(ub4)OCI_ATTR_SHARED_HEAPALLOC, errhp);
ub4 *
READ/WRITE
If the authentication method is SSL authentication, this attribute contains the location of the client wallet.
OraText **/OraText *
READ
Returns the offset (into the DML array) at which the error occurred.
ub4 *
READ
This attribute returns the environment context associated with the service context.
OCIEnv **
READ
Allows you to determine whether an application has switched to Oracle release 7 mode (for example, through an OCISvcCtxToLda() call). A nonzero (true) return value indicates that the application is currently running in Oracle release 8 mode, a zero (false) return value indicates that the application is currently running in Oracle release 7 mode.
ub1 *
The following code sample shows how this attribute is used:
in_v8_mode = 0;
OCIAttrGet ((dvoid *)svchp, (ub4)OCI_HTYPE_SVCCTX, (ub1 *)&in_v8_mode,
(ub4) 0, OCI_ATTR_IN_V8_MODE, errhp);
if (in_v8_mode)
fprintf (stdout, "In V8 mode\n");
else
fprintf (stdout, "In V7 mode\n");
READ/WRITE
When read, returns the pointer to the server context attribute of the service context.
When changed, sets the server context attribute of the service context.
OCIServer ** / OCIServer *
READ/WRITE
When read, returns the pointer to the authentication context attribute of the service context.
When changed, sets the authentication context attribute of the service context.
OCISession **/ OCISession *
READ/WRITE
The default value of the statement cache size is 20 statements, for a statement cache enabled session. The user can increase or decrease this value, by setting this attribute on the service context handle. This attribute can also be used to enable or disable statement caching for the session, pooled or non-pooled. Statement caching can be enabled by setting the attribute to a nonzero size and disabled by setting it to zero.
ub4 */ ub4
READ/WRITE
When read, returns the pointer to the transaction context attribute of the service context.
When changed, sets the transaction context attribute of the service context.
OCITrans ** / OCITrans *
READ
Returns the environment context associated with the server context.
OCIEnv **
READ/WRITE
The external name is the user-friendly global name stored in sys.props$.value$, where name = 'GLOBAL_DB_NAME'. It is not guaranteed to be unique unless all databases register their names with a network directory service.
Database names can be exchanged with the server in case of distributed transaction coordination. Server database names can only be accessed if the database is open at the time the OCISessionBegin() call is issued.
OraText ** (READ) / OraText * (WRITE)
READ/WRITE
OCIFocbkStruct *
READ/WRITE
Sets the client database name that will be recorded when performing global transactions. The name can be used by the DBA to track transactions that may be pending in a prepared state due to failures.
OraText ** (READ) / OraText * (WRITE)
READ
Allows you to determine whether an application has switched to Oracle release 7 mode (for example, through an OCISvcCtxToLda() call). A nonzero (TRUE) return value indicates that the application is currently running in Oracle release 8 mode, a zero (FALSE) return value indicates that the application is currently running in Oracle release 7 mode.
ub1 *
Mode
READ/WRITE
Description
This attribute determines the blocking mode. When read, the attribute value returns TRUE if the server context is in nonblocking mode. When set, it toggles the nonblocking mode attribute. You must set this attribute only after OCISessionBegin() or OCILogon2() has been called. Otherwise, an error will be returned.
ub1 */ub1
READ/WRITE
An alpha-numeric string not exceeding 30 characters specifying the server group.
OraText **/OraText *
READ
Returns the current status of the server handle. Values are:
OCI_SERVER_NORMAL - There is an active connection to the server. It means that the last call on the connection went through. There is no guarantee that the next call will go through.
OCI_SERVER_NOT_CONNECTED - There is no connection to the server.
ub4 *
The following code sample shows how this parameter is used:
ub4 serverStatus = 0
OCIAttrGet((dvoid *)srvhp, OCI_HTYPE_SERVER,
(dvoid *)&serverStatus, (ub4 *)0, OCI_ATTR_SERVER_STATUS, errhp);
if (serverStatus == OCI_SERVER_NORMAL)
printf("Connection is up.\n");
else if (serverStatus == OCI_SERVER_NOT_CONNECTED)
printf("Connection is down.\n");
READ
Set to TRUE if the server handle is TAF-enabled and FALSE if not.
boolean *
READ
If the handle was allocated with extra memory, this attribute will return a pointer to the user memory. A NULL pointer will be returned for those handles not allocated with extra memory.
dvoid *
These attributes also apply to the authentication information handle.
WRITE
The name of the current action within the current module. Can be set to NULL. When the current action terminates, set this attribute again with the name of the next action or NULL, if there is no next action. Can be up to 32 bytes long.
OraText *

(ub4)strlen("insert into employees"), OCI_ATTR_ACTION, error_handle);
WRITE
Specifies an attribute name of the externally initialized context.
OraText *
READ
Gets the application context list descriptor for the session.
OCIParam **
OCI_ATTR_APPCTX_NAME
WRITE
Specifies the namespace of the externally initialized context.
OraText *
WRITE
Initializes the externally initialized context array size with the number of attributes.
ub4
WRITE
Specifies a value of the externally initialized context.
OraText *
READ
Returns the server-side time for the preceding call in milliseconds.
ub8 *
WRITE
Specifies the certificate of the client for use in proxy authentication. Certificate-based proxy authentication using OCI_ATTR_CERTIFICATE will not be supported in future Oracle Database releases. Use OCI_ATTR_DISTINGUISHED_NAME or OCI_ATTR_USERNAME attribute instead.
ub1 *
WRITE
Specifies the user identifier in the session handle. Can be up to 64 bytes long. It can contain the user name, but you are asked not to include the password for security reasons. The first character of the identifier should not be ':'. If it is, the behavior is unspecified.
OraText *
OCIAttrSet(session, OCI_HTYPE_SESSION,(dvoid *)"janedoe",
(ub4)strlen("janedoe"), OCI_ATTR_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER,
error_handle);
WRITE
Client application additional information. Can also be set by the DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO package. It is stored in the V$SESSION view. Up to 64 bytes long.
OraText *
READ/WRITE
When set to TRUE, causes the server to measure call time, in milliseconds, for each subsequent OCI call.
boolean */boolean
READ/WRITE
Calling OCIAttrSet() with this attribute has the same effect as the SQL command ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA, if the schema name and the session exist. The schema is altered on the next OCI call that does a round trip to the server, avoiding an extra round trip. If the new schema name does not exist, the same error is returned as the error returned from ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA. The new schema name is placed before database objects in DML or DDL commands you then enter.
When a client using this attribute communicates with a server that has a software release earlier than 10g Release 2, the OCIAttrSet() call will be ignored. This attribute is also readable by OCIAttrGet().
ub4/ub4
text schema[] = "hr";
err = OCIAttrSet( (dvoid ) mysessp, OCI_HTYPE_SESSION, (dvoid*)schema,
(ub4)strlen( (char *)schema), OCI_ATTR_CURRENT_SCHEMA, (OCIError *)myerrhp);
WRITE
Specifies distinguished name of the client for use in proxy authentication.
OraText *
WRITE
Specifies the role or roles that the client is to initially possess when the application server connects to Oracle on its behalf.
OraText **
READ/WRITE
Specifies the session identified for the session handle. Allows you to clone a session from one environment to another, in the same process or between processes. These processes can be on the same machine or different machines. For a session to be cloned, the session must be authenticated as migratable.
ub1 *
The following code sample shows how this attribute is used:
OCIAttrSet ((dvoid *) authp, (ub4)OCI_HTYPE_SESSION, (dvoid *) mig_session,
(ub4) sz, (ub4)OCI_ATTR_MIGSESSION, errhp);
OCI_ATTR_MODULE
WRITE
The name of the current module running in the client application. When the current module terminates, call with the name of the new module, or NULL if there is no new module. Can be up to 48 bytes long.
OraText *
OCIAttrSet(session, OCI_HTYPE_SESSION,(dvoid *)"add_employee",
(ub4)strlen("add_employee"), OCI_ATTR_MODULE, error_handle);
WRITE
Specifies a password to use for authentication.
OraText *
WRITE
Specifies the target user name for access through a proxy.
OraText *
WRITE
Specifies that the credentials of the application server are to be used for proxy authentication.
OCISession
READ/WRITE
Specifies a user name to use for authentication.
OraText **/OraText *
READ/WRITE
Set this attribute before a call to OCIDBStartup() to specify the location of the client-side parameter file that is used to start up the database. If this attribute is not set then the server-side parameter file is used. If the server-side parameter file does not exist, an error is returned.
OraText */OraText *

Note: Shrinkage of the pool only occurs when there is a network round trip. If there are no operations, then the connections stay alive. |
READ/WRITE
Connections idle for more than this time value (in seconds) are terminated, to maintain an optimum number of open connections.This attribute can be set dynamically. If this attribute is not set, the connections are never timed out.
ub4 */ub4
READ/WRITE
This attribute determines if retrial for a connection has to be done when all connections in the pool are found to be busy and the number of connections has already reached the maximum.
If this attribute is set, an error is thrown when all the connections are busy and no more connections can be opened. Otherwise the call waits till it gets a connection.
When read, the attribute value is returned as TRUE if it has been set.
ub1 */ub1
READ
Returns the number of busy connections.
ub4 *
READ
Returns the number of open connections.
ub4 *
READ
Returns the number of minimum connections.
ub4 *
READ
Returns the number of maximum connections.
ub4 *
READ
Returns the connection increment parameter.
ub4 *
The attributes used for session pooling are:
READ
Returns the number of busy sessions.
ub4 *
READ/WRITE
This attribute determines the behavior of the session pool when all sessions in the pool are found to be busy and the number of sessions has already reached the maximum. Values are:
OCI_SPOOL_ATTRVAL_WAIT - the thread waits and blocks until a session is freed. This is the default value.
OCI_SPOOL_ATTRVAL_NOWAIT - an error is returned.
OCI_SPOOL_ATTRVAL_FORCEGET - a new session is created even though all the sessions are busy and the maximum number of sessions has been reached. OCISessionGet() returns a warning. In this case, if new sessions are created that have exceeded the maximum, OCISessionGet() returns a warning.
Note that if this value is set, it is possible that there can be an attempt to create more sessions than can be supported by the instance of the Oracle database server. In this case, the server will return the following error:
ORA 00018 - Maximum number of sessions exceeded
In this case, the error will be propagated to the session pool user.
When read, the appropriate attribute value is returned.
ub1 */ ub1
READ
Returns the session increment parameter.
ub4 *
READ
Returns the number of maximum sessions.
ub4 *
READ
Returns the number of minimum sessions.
ub4 *
READ
Returns the number of open sessions.
ub4 *
READ/WRITE
The sessions idle for more than this time (in seconds) are terminated periodically, to maintain an optimum number of open sessions.This attribute can be set dynamically. If this attribute is not set, the least recently used sessions may be timed out if and when space in the pool is required.
ub4 */ ub4
READ/WRITE
Sets the default statement cache size for each of the sessions in a session pool, to this value. The statement cache size for a particular session in the pool can, at any time, be overridden by using OCI_ATTR_STMTCACHESIZE on that session.
ub4 */ ub4
READ/WRITE
Can be used to establish or read a text string which identifies a transaction. This is an alternative to using the XID to identify the transaction. The OraText string can be up to 64 bytes long.
OraText ** (READ) / OraText * (WRITE)
READ/WRITE
Can set or read a timeout interval value used at prepare time.
ub4 * (READ) / ub4 (WRITE)

READ
Returns the parse error offset for a statement.
ub2 *
WRITE
Sets the memory level for top level rows to be prefetched. Rows up to the specified top level row count are fetched if it occupies no more than the specified memory usage limit. The default value is 0, which means that memory size is not included in computing the number of rows to prefetch.
ub4 *
WRITE
Sets the number of top level rows to be prefetched. The default value is 1 row.
ub4 *
OCI_ATTR_ROW_COUNT
READ
Returns the number of rows processed so far after SELECT statements. For INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements, it is the number of rows processed by the most recent statement. The default value is 1.
For non-scrollable cursors, OCI_ATTR_ROW_COUNT is the total number of rows fetched into user buffers with the OCIStmtFetch2() calls issued since this statement handle was executed. Since they are forward sequential only, this also represents the highest row number seen by the application.
For scrollable cursors, OCI_ATTR_ROW_COUNT will represent the maximum (absolute) row number fetched into the user buffers. Since the application can arbitrarily position the fetches, this need not be the total number of rows fetched into the user's buffers since the (scrollable) statement was executed.
ub4 *
READ
Returns the ROWID descriptor allocated with OCIDescriptorAlloc().
OCIRowid *
READ
Indicates the number of rows that were successfully fetched into the user's buffers in the last fetch or execute with nonzero iterations. It can be used for both scrollable and non-scrollable statement handles.
ub4 *
ub4 rows;
ub4 sizep = sizeof(ub4);
OCIAttrGet((dvoid *) stmhp, (ub4) OCI_HTYPE_STMT,
(dvoid *)& rows, (ub4 *) &sizep, (ub4)OCI_ATTR_ROWS_FETCHED,

READ
Returns the text of the SQL statement prepared in a statement handle. In UTF-16 mode, the returned statement is in UTF-16 encoding. The length is always in bytes.
OraText *
READ
Returns the fetch state of that statement. This attribute can be used by the caller to determine if the session can be used in another service context or if it is still needed in the current set of data access calls. Basically, if we are in the middle of a fetch-execute cycle, then we do not want to release the session handle for another statement execution. Valid values are:
OCI_STMT_STATE_INITIALIZED
OCI_STMT_STATE_EXECUTED
OCI_STMT_STATE_END_OF_FETCH
ub4 *
READ
The type of statement associated with the handle. Valid values are:
OCI_STMT_SELECT
OCI_STMT_UPDATE
OCI_STMT_DELETE
OCI_STMT_INSERT
OCI_STMT_CREATE
OCI_STMT_DROP
OCI_STMT_ALTER
OCI_STMT_BEGIN (PL/SQL statement)
OCI_STMT_DECLARE (PL/SQL statement)
ub2 *
WRITE
ub4 *
READ/WRITE
Character set form of the bind handle. The default form is SQLCS_IMPLICIT. Setting this attribute will cause the bind handle to use the database or national character set on the client side. Set this attribute to SQLCS_NCHAR for the national character set or SQLCS_IMPLICIT for the database character set.
ub1 *
READ/WRITE
Character set ID of the bind handle. If the character set of the input data is UTF-16 (replaces the deprecated OCI_UC2SID, which is retained for backward compatibility), the user has to set the character set ID to OCI_UTF16ID. The bind value buffer is assumed to be a utext buffer and length semantics for input length pointers and return values changes to character semantics (number of utexts). However the size of the bind value buffer in the preceding OCIBind call has to be stated in bytes.
If OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM is set, then OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_ID should be set only afterward. Setting OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_ID prior to setting OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM will cause unexpected results.
ub2 *
WRITE
Sets the number of characters that an application reserves on the server to store the data being bound.
sb4 *
READ/WRITE
sb4 *
WRITE
Specifies packed decimal precision. For SQLT_PDN values, the precision should be equal to 2*(value_sz-1). For SQLT_SLS values, the precision should be equal to (value_sz-1).
After a bind or define, this value is initialized to zero. The OCI_ATTR_PDPRC attribute should be set first, followed by OCI_ATTR_PDSCL. If either of these values needs to be changed, a rebind/redefine should be done first, and then the two attributes should be reset in order.
ub2 *
WRITE
Specifies the scale for packed decimal values.
After a bind or define, this value is initialized to zero. The OCI_ATTR_PDPRC attribute should be set first, followed by OCI_ATTR_PDSCL. If either of these values needs to be changed, a rebind/redefine should be done first, and then the two attributes should be reset in order.
sb2 *
READ
This attribute returns the number of rows that are going to be returned in the current iteration when we are in the OUT callback function for binding a DML statement with RETURNING clause.
ub4 *
WRITE
This attribute is deprecated.
Sets the number of characters in a character type data. This specifies the number of characters desired in the define buffer. The define buffer length as specified in the define call must be greater than number of characters.
ub4 *
READ/WRITE
The character set form of the define handle. The default form is SQLCS_IMPLICIT. Setting this attribute will cause the define handle to use the database or national character set on the client side. Set this attribute to SQLCS_NCHAR for the national character set or SQLCS_IMPLICIT for the database character set.
ub1 *
READ/WRITE
The character set ID of the define handle. If the character set of the output data should be UTF-16, the user has to set the character set IDOTT to OCI_UTF16ID. The define value buffer is assumed to be a utext buffer and length semantics for indicators and return values changes to character semantics (number of utexts). However the size of the define value buffer in the preceding OCIDefine call has to be stated in bytes.
If OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM is set, then OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_ID should be set only afterward. Setting OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_ID prior to setting OCI_ATTR_CHARSET_FORM will cause unexpected results.
ub2 *
WRITE
Specifies the maximum number of characters the client application allows in the define buffer.
sb4 *
WRITE
Specifies packed decimal precision. For SQLT_PDN values, the precision should be equal to 2*(value_sz-1). For SQLT_SLS values, the precision should be equal to (value_sz-1).
After a bind or define, this value is initialized to zero. The OCI_ATTR_PDPRC attribute should be set first, followed by OCI_ATTR_PDSCL. If either of these values needs to be changed, a rebind/redefine should be done first, and then the two attributes should be reset in order.
ub2 *
WRITE
Specifies the scale for packed decimal values.
After a bind or define, this value is initialized to zero. The OCI_ATTR_PDPRC attribute should be set first, followed by OCI_ATTR_PDSCL. If either of these values needs to be changed, a rebind/redefine should be done first, and then the two attributes should be reset in order.
sb2 *
READ
Points to the root of the description. Used for subsequent calls to OCIAttrGet() and OCIParamGet().
ub4 *
READ
Returns the number of parameters in the describe handle. When the describe handle is a description of the select list, this refers to the number of columns in the select list.
ub4 *

See Also: For a detailed list of parameter descriptor attributes, refer to Chapter 6, "Describing Schema Metadata" |
WRITE
Sets the internal LOB locator to empty. The locator can then be used as a bind variable for an INSERT or UPDATE statement to initialize the LOB to empty. Once the LOB is empty, OCILobWrite() can be called to populate the LOB with data. This attribute is only valid for internal LOBs (that is, BLOB, CLOB, NCLOB).
Applications should pass address of a ub4 which has a value of 0; for example, declare:
ub4 lobEmpty = 0
then pass address &lobEmpty.

The following attributes are properties of the OCIAQEnqOptions descriptor:
WRITE
The enqueue call can enqueue a persistent or a buffered message into a queue, by setting the OCI_MSG_DELIVERY_MODE attribute in the OCIAQEnqOptions descriptor to OCI_MSG_PERSISTENT or OCI_MSG_BUFFERED, respectively. The default value for this attribute is OCI_MSG_PERSISTENT.
ub2
READ/WRITE
This feature is deprecated and may be removed in a future release.
Specifies the message identifier of the message which is referenced in the sequence deviation operation. This value is valid if and only if OCI_ENQ_BEFORE is specified in OCI_ATTR_SEQUENCE_DIVISION. This value is ignored if the sequence deviation is not specified.
OCIRaw *
READ/WRITE
This feature is deprecatedfor new applications, but it is retained for compatibility.
Specifies whether the message being enqueued should be dequeued before other message(s) already in the queue.
ub4
The only valid values are:
OCI_ENQ_BEFORE - the message is enqueued ahead of the message specified by OCI_ATTR_RELATIVE_MSGID.
OCI_ENQ_TOP - the message is enqueued ahead of any other messages.
READ/WRITE
Specifies the transactional behavior of the enqueue request.
ub4
The only valid values are:
OCI_ENQ_ON_COMMIT - the enqueue is part of the current transaction. The operation is complete when the transaction commits. This is the default case.
OCI_ENQ_IMMEDIATE - the enqueue is not part of the current transaction. The operation constitutes a transaction of its own.
The following attributes are properties of the OCIAQDeqOptions descriptor:
READ/WRITE
Name of the consumer. Only those messages matching the consumer name are accessed. If a queue is not set up for multiple consumers, this field should be set to null.
OraText *
READ/WRITE
Specifies the correlation identifier of the message to be dequeued. Special pattern matching characters, such as the percent sign (%) and the underscore (_) can be used. If more than one message satisfies the pattern, the order of dequeuing is undetermined.
OraText *
READ/WRITE
Specifies the locking behavior associated with the dequeue.
ub4
The only valid values are:
OCI_DEQ_BROWSE - read the message without acquiring any lock on the message. This is equivalent to a SELECT statement.
OCI_DEQ_LOCKED - read and obtain a write lock on the message. The lock lasts for the duration of the transaction. This is equivalent to a SELECT FOR UPDATE statement.
OCI_DEQ_REMOVE - read the message and update or delete it. This is the default. The message can be retained in the queue table based on the retention properties.
OCI_DEQ_REMOVE_NODATA - confirm receipt of the message, but do not deliver the actual message content.
READ/WRITE
Specifies the message identifier of the message to be dequeued.
OCIRaw *
WRITE
You can specify the dequeue call to dequeue persistent, buffered, or both kinds of messages from a queue, by setting the OCI_MSG_DELIVERY_MODE attribute in the OCIAQDeqOptions descriptor to OCI_MSG_PERSISTENT, OCI_MSG_BUFFERED, or OCI_MSG_PERSISTENT_OR_BUFFERED, respectively. The default value for this attribute is OCI_MSG_PERSISTENT.
ub2
READ/WRITE
Specifies the position of the message that will be retrieved. First, the position is determined. Second, the search criterion is applied. Finally, the message is retrieved.
ub4
The only valid values are:
OCI_DEQ_FIRST_MSG - retrieves the first message which is available and matches the search criteria. This will reset the position to the beginning of the queue.
OCI_DEQ_NEXT_MSG - retrieves the next message which is available and matches the search criteria. If the previous message belongs to a message group, AQ will retrieve the next available message which matches the search criteria and belongs to the message group. This is the default.
OCI_DEQ_NEXT_TRANSACTION - skips the remainder of the current transaction group (if any) and retrieves the first message of the next transaction group. This option can only be used if message grouping is enabled for the current queue.
OCI_DEQ_FIRST_MSG_ONE_GROUP - indicates that a call to OCIAQDeqArray() will reset the position to the beginning of the queue and dequeue messages from a single transaction group that are available and match the search criteria. If the number of messages in the single transaction group exceeds iters, then you must make a subsequent call to OCIAQDeqArray() using the OCI_DEQ_NEXT_MSG_ONE_GROUP navigation.
OCI_DEQ_NEXT_MSG_ONE_GROUP - indicates that a call to OCIAQDeqArray() will dequeue the next set of messages (up to iters) that are available, match the search criteria and belong to the message group.
OCI_DEQ_FIRST_MSG_MULTI_GROUP - indicates that a call to OCIAQDeqArray() will reset the position to the beginning of the queue and dequeue messages (possibly across different transaction groups) that are available and match the search criteria, until reaching the iters limit. To distinguish between transaction groups, a new message property, OCI_ATTR_TRANSACTION_NO, will be defined. All messages belonging to the same transaction group will have the same value for this message property.
OCI_DEQ_NEXT_MSG_MULTI_GROUP - indicates that a call to OCIAQDeqArray() will dequeue the next set of messages (possibly across different transaction groups) that are available and match the search criteria, until reaching the iters limit. To distinguish between transaction groups, a new message property, OCI_ATTR_TRANSACTION_NO, will be defined. All messages belonging to the same transaction group will have the same value for this message property.
READ/WRITE
Specifies whether the new message is dequeued as part of the current transaction.The visibility parameter is ignored when using the BROWSE mode.
ub4
The only valid values are:
OCI_DEQ_ON_COMMIT - the dequeue will be part of the current transaction. This is the default case.
OCI_DEQ_IMMEDIATE - the dequeued message is not part of the current transaction. It constitutes a transaction on its own.
READ/WRITE
Specifies the wait time if there is currently no message available which matches the search criteria. This parameter is ignored if messages in the same group are being dequeued.
ub4
Any ub4 value is valid, but the following predefined constants are provided:
OCI_DEQ_WAIT_FOREVER - wait forever. This is the default.
OCI_DEQ_NO_WAIT - do not wait.
|
Note: If theOCI_DEQ_NO_WAIT option is used to poll a queue, then messages are not dequeued after polling an empty queue. Use the OCI_DEQ_FIRST_MSG option instead of the default OCI_DEQ_NEXT_MSG setting of OCI_ATTR_NAVIGATION. You can also use a nonzero wait setting (1 is suggested) of OCI_ATTR_WAIT for the dequeue. |
The following attributes are properties of the OCIAQMsgProperties descriptor:
READ
Specifies the number of attempts that have been made to dequeue the message. This parameter cannot be set at enqueue time.
sb4
Any sb4 value is valid.
READ/WRITE
Specifies the identification supplied by the producer for a message at enqueuing.
OraText *
Any string up to 128 bytes is valid.
READ/WRITE
Specifies the number of seconds to delay the enqueued message. The delay represents the number of seconds after which a message is available for dequeuing. Dequeuing by msgid overrides the delay specification. A message enqueued with delay set will be in the WAITING state, when the delay expires the messages goes to the READY state. DELAY processing requires the queue monitor to be started. Note that delay is set by the producer who enqueues the message.
sb4
Any sb4 value is valid, but the following predefined constant is available:
OCI_MSG_NO_DELAY - indicates the message is available for immediate dequeuing.
READ
Specifies the time the message was enqueued. This value is determined by the system and cannot be set by the user.
OCIDate
READ/WRITE
Specifies the name of the queue to which the message is moved to if it cannot be processed successfully. Messages are moved in two cases: If the number of unsuccessful dequeue attempts has exceeded max_retries; or if the message has expired. All messages in the exception queue are in the EXPIRED state.
The default is the exception queue associated with the queue table. If the exception queue specified does not exist at the time of the move the message will be moved to the default exception queue associated with the queue table and a warning will be logged in the alert file. If the default exception queue is used, the parameter will return a NULL value at dequeue time.
This attribute must refer to a valid queue name.
OraText *
READ/WRITE
Specifies the expiration of the message. It determines, in seconds, the duration the message is available for dequeuing. This parameter is an offset from the delay. Expiration processing requires the queue monitor to be running.
While waiting for expiration, the message remains in the READY state. If the message is not dequeued before it expires, it will be moved to the exception queue in the EXPIRED state.
sb4
Any sb4 value is valid, but the following predefined constant is available:
OCI_MSG_NO_EXPIRATION - the message will not expire.
READ
After a dequeue call, the OCI client can read the OCI_MSG_DELIVERY_MODE attribute in the OCIAQMsgProperties descriptor to determine whether a persistent or buffered message was dequeued. The value of the attribute is OCI_MSG_PERSISTENT for persistent messages and OCI_MSG_BUFFERED for buffered messages.
ub2
READ
Specifies the state of the message at the time of the dequeue. This parameter cannot be set at enqueue time.
ub4
These are the only values which are returned:
OCI_MSG_WAITING - the message delay has not yet been reached.
OCI_MSG_READY - the message is ready to be processed.
OCI_MSG_PROCESSED - the message has been processed and is retained.
OCI_MSG_EXPIRED - the message has been moved to the exception queue.
READ/WRITE
Specifies the priority of the message. A smaller number indicates higher priority. The priority can be any number, including negative numbers.
The default value is zero.
sb4
WRITE
This parameter is only valid for queues which allow multiple consumers. The default recipients are the queue subscribers. This parameter is not returned to a consumer at dequeue time.
OCIAQAgent **
READ/WRITE
Identifies the original sender of a message.
OCIAgent *
READ
For transaction-grouped queues, this identifies the transaction group of the message. This attribute is populated after a successful OCIAQDeqArray() call. All messages in a group have the same value for this attribute. This attribute cannot be used by the OCIAQEnqArray() call to set the transaction group for an enqueued message.
OraText *
READ/WRITE
The ID of the message in the last queue that generated this message. When a message is propagated from one queue to another, this attribute identifies the ID of the queue from which it was last propagated. When a message has been propagated through multiple queues, this attribute identifies the ID of the message in the last queue that generated this message, not the first queue.
OCIRaw *
The following attributes are properties of the OCIAQAgent descriptor:
READ/WRITE
Protocol-specific address of the recipient. If the protocol is 0 (default), the address is of the form [schema.]queue[@dblink].

ub4 (dvoid *, OCISubscription *, dvoid *, ub4, dvoid *, ub4)
READ/WRITE
Context that the client wants to get passed to the user callback denoted by OCI_ATTR_SUBSCR_CALLBACK when it gets invoked by the system. If the attribute OCI_ATTR_SUBSCR_RECPTPROTO is set to OCI_SUBSCR_PROTO_OCI or is left not set, then this attribute needs to be set before the subscription handle can be passed into the registration call OCI Subscription Register().
dvoid *
READ/WRITE
Subscription name. All subscriptions are identified by a subscription name. A subscription name consists of a sequence of bytes of specified length. The length in bytes of the name needs to be specified as it is not assumed that the name will be NULL-terminated. This is important because the name could contain multibyte characters.
Clients will be able to set the subscription name attribute of a Subscription handle using an OCIAttrSet() call and by specifying a handle type of OCI_HTYPE_SUBSCR and an attribute type of OCI_ATTR_SUBSCR_NAME.
All of the subscription callbacks need a subscription handle with the OCI_ATTR_SUBSCR_NAME and OCI_ATTR_SUBSCR_NAMESPACE attributes set. If the attributes are not set, an error is returned. The subscription name that is set for the subscription handle must be consistent with its namespace.
OraText *
READ/WRITE
Namespace in which the subscription handle is used. The valid values for this attribute are OCI_SUBSCR_NAMESPACE_AQ, OCI_SUBSCR_NAMESPACE_DBCHANGE, and OCI_SUBSCR_NAMESPACE_ANONYMOUS. The subscription name that is set for the subscription handle must be consistent with its namespace.
ub4 *
READ/WRITE
Buffer that corresponds to the payload that needs to be sent along with the notification. The length of the buffer can also be specified in the same set attribute call. This attribute needs to be set before a post can be performed on a subscription. For this release, only an untyped (ub1 *) payload is supported.
ub1 *
READ/WRITE
Port number on the server, set on the environment handle. The port number is sent to clients by OCISessionBegin().
ub4 *
READ/WRITE

For OCI_SUBSCR_PROTO_HTTP, OCI_ATTR_SUBSCR_RECPT denotes the HTTP URL (for example, http://www.oracle.com:80) to which notification is sent. The validity of the HTTP URL is never checked by the database.
For OCI_SUBSCR_PROTO_MAIL, OCI_ATTR_SUBSCR_RECPT denotes the e-mail address (for example, xyz@oracle.com) to which the notification is sent. The validity of the e-mail address is never checked by the database system.
For OCI_SUBSCR_PROTO_SERVER, OCI_ATTR_SUBSCR_RECPT denotes the database procedure (for example: schema.procedure) that will be invoked in the event of a notification. The subscriber should have appropriate permissions on the procedure for it to be executed.
OraText *
READ/WRITE
The presentation with which the client wants to receive the notification. The valid values for this are OCI_SUBSCR_PRES_DEFAULT and OCI_SUBSCR_PRES_XML.
If not set, this attribute defaults to OCI_SUBSCR_PRES_DEFAULT.

ub4
READ/WRITE
The protocol with which the client wants to receive the notification. The valid values for this are
If an OCI client is interested in receiving the event notification, then this attribute should be set to OCI_SUBSCR_PROTO_OCI.
If you want an e-mail to be sent on event notification, then set this attribute to OCI_SUBSCR_PROTO_MAIL. If you want a PL/SQL procedure to be invoked in the database on event notification, then set this attribute to OCI_SUBSCR_PROTO_SERVER. If you want a HTTP URL to be posted to on event notification, then set this attribute to OCI_SUBSCR_PROTO_HTTP.
If not set, this attribute defaults to OCI_SUBSCR_PROTO_OCI.
For OCI_SUBSCR_PROTO_OCI, the attributes OCI_ATTR_SUBSCR_CALLBACK and OCI_ATTR_SUBSCR_CTX must be set before the subscription handle can be passed into the registration call OCISubscriptionRegister().
For OCI_SUBSCR_PROTO_MAIL, OCI_SUBSCR_PROTO_SERVER, and OCI_SUBSCR_PROTO_HTTP, the attribute OCI_ATTR_SUBSCR_RECPT must be set before the subscription handle can be passed into the registration call OCISubscriptionRegister().

The application specifies which columns are to be loaded, and the external format of the data by setting attributes on each column parameter descriptor. The column parameter descriptors are obtained as parameters of the column parameter list by OCIParamGet(). The column parameter list of the table is obtained from the OCI_ATTR_LIST_COLUMNS attribute of the direct path context. If a column is non-scalar, then its column parameter list is obtained from the OCI_ATTR_LIST_COLUMNS attribute of its direct path function context.
Note that all parameters are 1-based.
The following code example illustrates the use of the direct path column parameter attributes for scalar columns. Before the attributes are accessed, you must first set the number of columns to be loaded and get the column parameter list from the OCI_ATTR_LIST_COLUMNS attribute.

The parameters for the shared system can be set and read using the OCIAttrSet() and OCIAttrGet() calls. The handle type to be used is the process handle OCI_HTYPE_PROC.
The OCI_ATTR_MEMPOOL_APPNAME, OCI_ATTR_MEMPOOL_HOMENAME, and OCI_ATTR_MEMPOOL_INSTNAME attributes specify the application, home, and instance names that can be used together to map the process to the right shared pool area. If these attributes are not provided, internal default values are used. The following are valid settings of the attributes for specific behaviors:
Instance name, application name (unqualified): This allows only executables with a specific name to attach to the same shared subsystem. For example, this allows an OCI application named Office to connect to the same shared subsystem regardless of the directory Office resides in.
Instance name, home name: This allows a set of executables in a specific home directory to attach to the same instance of the shared subsystem. For example, this allows all OCI applications residing in the ORACLE_HOME directory to use the same shared subsystem.
Instance name, home name, application name (unqualified): This allows only a specific executable to attach to a shared subsystem. For example, this allows one application named Office in the ORACLE_HOME directory to attach to a given shared subsystem.
READ/WRITE
Executable name or fully-qualified path name of the executable.
OraText *
READ/WRITE
Directory name where the executables that use the same shared subsystem instance are located.
OraText *
READ/WRITE
Any user-defined name to identify an instance of the shared subsystem.
OraText *
READ/WRITE
Size of the shared pool in bytes. This attribute is set as follows:
ub4 plsz = 1000000;
OCIAttrSet((dvoid *)0, (ub4) OCI_HTYPE_PROC,
(dvoid *)&plsz, (ub4) 0, (ub4) OCI_ATTR_POOL_SIZE, 0);
ub4 *
READ
Returns all the currently set process modes. The value read contains the OR'ed value of all the currently set OCI process modes. To determine if a specific mode is set, the value should be OR'ed with that mode. For example:
ub4 mode;
boolean is_shared;
OCIAttrGet((dvoid *)0, (ub4)OCI_HTYPE_PROC,
(dvoid *) &mode, (ub4 *) 0,
(ub4)OCI_ATTR_PROC_MODE, 0);
is_shared = mode | OCI_SHARED;

The OCIEvent handle encapsulates the attributes from the event payload. This handle is implicitly allocated prior to calling the event callback.
The event callback obtains the attributes of an event using OCIAttrGet() with the following attributes:
READ
When called with this attribute, OCIAttrGet() retrieves the name of the database domain that has been affected by this event.
OraText **
READ
When called with this attribute, OCIAttrGet() retrieves the name of the database that has been affected by this event.
OraText **
READ
The type of event that occurred, OCI_EVENTTYPE_HA.
ub4 *
READ
If the event type is OCI_EVENTTYPE_HA, get the source of the event with this attribute. Valid values are OCI_HA_SOURCE_DATABASE, OCI_HA_SOURCE_NODE, OCI_HA_SOURCE_INSTANCE, OCI_HA_SOURCE_SERVICE, OCI_HA_SOURCE_SERVICE_MEMBER, OCI_HA_SOURCE_ASM_INSTANCE, OCI_HA_SOURCE_SERVICE_PRECONNECT.
ub4 *
READ
When called with this attribute, OCIAttrGet() retrieves the first server handle in the list of server handles affected by a Real Application Clusters (RAC) HA DOWN event.
OCIServer **
READ
When called with this attribute OCIAttrGet() retrieves the next server handle in the list of server handles affected by a Real Application Clusters (RAC) HA DOWN event.
OCIServer **
READ
Valid value is OCI_HA_STATUS_DOWN. Only DOWN events are suscribed to currently.
ub4 *
READ
The time that the HA event occurred.
OCIDateTime **
READ
When called with this attribute, OCIAttrGet() retrieves the name of the host that has been affected by this event.
OraText **
READ
When called with this attribute, OCIAttrGet() retrieves the name of the instance that has been affected by this event.
OraText **
