Class Instance (3.3.0)

Instance(
    instance_id,
    client,
    configuration_name=None,
    node_count=1,
    display_name=None,
    emulator_host=None,
    labels=None,
)

Representation of a Cloud Spanner Instance.

We can use a Instance to:

reload itself
create itself
update itself
delete itself

Parameters
Name	Description
`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.
`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.

Properties

name

Instance name used in requests.

Note: This property will not change if instance_id does not, but the return value is not cached.

"projects/{project}/instances/{instance_id}"

Returns
Type	Description
`str`	The instance name.

Methods

backup

backup(
    backup_id, database="", expire_time=None, version_time=None, encryption_config=None
)

Factory to create a backup within this instance.

Parameters
Name	Description
`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

Returns
Type	Description
`Backup`	a backup owned by this instance.

copy

copy()

Make a copy of this instance.

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

Returns
Type	Description
`Instance`	A copy of the current instance.

create

create()

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 .. code:: python instance.display_name = 'New display name' instance.instance_id = 'i-changed-my-mind' before calling create.

Exceptions
Type	Description
`Conflict`	if the instance already exists

Returns
Type	Description
`google.api_core.operation.Operation`	an operation instance

database

database(
    database_id, ddl_statements=(), pool=None, logger=None, encryption_config=None

Factory to create a database within this instance.

Parameters
Name	Description
`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

Returns
Type	Description
`Database`	a database owned by this instance.

delete

Billing will cease for all of the instance's reserved resources.

Soon afterward:

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

exists
