"""Support for the Oracle database via the cx_oracle driver.

Driver
------

The Oracle dialect uses the cx_oracle driver, available at 
http://cx-oracle.sourceforge.net/ .   The dialect has several behaviors 
which are specifically tailored towards compatibility with this module.
Version 5.0 or greater is **strongly** recommended, as SQLAlchemy makes
extensive use of the cx_oracle output converters for numeric and 
string conversions.

Connecting
----------

Connecting with create_engine() uses the standard URL approach of 
``oracle://user:pass@host:port/dbname[?key=value&key=value...]``.  If dbname is present, the 
host, port, and dbname tokens are converted to a TNS name using the cx_oracle 
:func:`makedsn()` function.  Otherwise, the host token is taken directly as a TNS name.

Additional arguments which may be specified either as query string arguments on the
URL, or as keyword arguments to :func:`~sqlalchemy.create_engine()` are:

* *allow_twophase* - enable two-phase transactions.  Defaults to ``True``.

* *arraysize* - set the cx_oracle.arraysize value on cursors, in SQLAlchemy
  it defaults to 50.  See the section on "LOB Objects" below.

* *auto_convert_lobs* - defaults to True, see the section on LOB objects.

* *auto_setinputsizes* - the cx_oracle.setinputsizes() call is issued for all bind parameters.
  This is required for LOB datatypes but can be disabled to reduce overhead.  Defaults
  to ``True``.

* *mode* - This is given the string value of SYSDBA or SYSOPER, or alternatively an
  integer value.  This value is only available as a URL query string argument.

* *threaded* - enable multithreaded access to cx_oracle connections.  Defaults
  to ``True``.  Note that this is the opposite default of cx_oracle itself.

Unicode
-------

cx_oracle 5 fully supports Python unicode objects.   SQLAlchemy will pass
all unicode strings directly to cx_oracle, and additionally uses an output
handler so that all string based result values are returned as unicode as well.
Generally, the ``NLS_LANG`` environment variable determines the nature
of the encoding to be used.

Note that this behavior is disabled when Oracle 8 is detected, as it has been 
observed that issues remain when passing Python unicodes to cx_oracle with Oracle 8.

LOB Objects
-----------

cx_oracle returns oracle LOBs using the cx_oracle.LOB object.  SQLAlchemy converts
these to strings so that the interface of the Binary type is consistent with that of
other backends, and so that the linkage to a live cursor is not needed in scenarios
like result.fetchmany() and result.fetchall().   This means that by default, LOB
objects are fully fetched unconditionally by SQLAlchemy, and the linkage to a live
cursor is broken.

To disable this processing, pass ``auto_convert_lobs=False`` to :func:`create_engine()`.

Two Phase Transaction Support
-----------------------------

Two Phase transactions are implemented using XA transactions.  Success has been reported 
with this feature but it should be regarded as experimental.

Precision Numerics
------------------

The SQLAlchemy dialect goes through a lot of steps to ensure
that decimal numbers are sent and received with full accuracy.
An "outputtypehandler" callable is associated with each
cx_oracle connection object which detects numeric types and
receives them as string values, instead of receiving a Python
``float`` directly, which is then passed to the Python
``Decimal`` constructor.  The :class:`.Numeric` and
:class:`.Float` types under the cx_oracle dialect are aware of
this behavior, and will coerce the ``Decimal`` to ``float`` if
the ``asdecimal`` flag is ``False`` (default on :class:`.Float`,
optional on :class:`.Numeric`).

Because the handler coerces to ``Decimal`` in all cases first,
the feature can detract significantly from performance.
If precision numerics aren't required, the decimal handling
can be disabled by passing the flag ``coerce_to_decimal=False``
to :func:`.create_engine`::

    engine = create_engine("oracle+cx_oracle://dsn", 
                        coerce_to_decimal=False)

.. versionadded:: 0.7.6
    Add the ``coerce_to_decimal`` flag.

Another alternative to performance is to use the 
`cdecimal <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cdecimal/>`_ library; 
see :class:`.Numeric` for additional notes.

The handler attempts to use the "precision" and "scale"
attributes of the result set column to best determine if
subsequent incoming values should be received as ``Decimal`` as
opposed to int (in which case no processing is added). There are
several scenarios where OCI_ does not provide unambiguous data
as to the numeric type, including some situations where
individual rows may return a combination of floating point and
integer values. Certain values for "precision" and "scale" have
been observed to determine this scenario.  When it occurs, the
outputtypehandler receives as string and then passes off to a
processing function which detects, for each returned value, if a
decimal point is present, and if so converts to ``Decimal``,
otherwise to int.  The intention is that simple int-based
statements like "SELECT my_seq.nextval() FROM DUAL" continue to
return ints and not ``Decimal`` objects, and that any kind of
floating point value is received as a string so that there is no
floating point loss of precision.

The "decimal point is present" logic itself is also sensitive to
locale.  Under OCI_, this is controlled by the NLS_LANG
environment variable. Upon first connection, the dialect runs a
test to determine the current "decimal" character, which can be
a comma "," for european locales. From that point forward the
outputtypehandler uses that character to represent a decimal
point. Note that cx_oracle 5.0.3 or greater is required
when dealing with numerics with locale settings that don't use
a period "." as the decimal character.

.. versionchanged:: 0.6.6
    The outputtypehandler uses a comma "," character to represent
    a decimal point.
