*******************
Subscription Object
*******************
.. note::
This object is an extension the DB API.
.. attribute:: Subscription.callback
This read-only attribute returns the callback that was registered when the
subscription was created.
.. attribute:: Subscription.connection
This read-only attribute returns the connection that was used to register
the subscription when it was created.
.. attribute:: Subscription.cqqos
This read-only attribute returns the quality of service flags used to
register the subscription when it was created. This attribute is deprecated
and will be removed in a future version of cx_Oracle. Use the qos attribute
instead.
.. attribute:: Subscription.id
This read-only attribute returns the registration ID returned by the
database when the subscription was created.
.. attribute:: Subscription.namespace
This read-only attribute returns the namespace used to register the
subscription when it was created.
.. attribute:: Subscription.operations
This read-only attribute returns the operations that will send notifications
for each table or query that is registered using this subscription.
.. attribute:: Subscription.port
This read-only attribute returns the port used for callback notifications
from the database server. If not set during construction, this value is
zero.
.. attribute:: Subscription.protocol
This read-only attribute returns the protocol used to register the
subscription when it was created.
.. attribute:: Subscription.qos
This read-only attribute returns the quality of service flags used to
register the subscription when it was created.
.. method:: Subscription.registerquery(statement, [args])
Register the query for subsequent notification when tables referenced by the
query are changed. This behaves similarly to cursor.execute() but only
queries are permitted and the arguments must be a sequence or dictionary.
If the qos parameter included the flag cx_Oracle.SUBSCR_QOS_QUERY when
the subscription was created, then the ID for the registered query is
returned; otherwise, None is returned.
.. attribute:: Subscription.rowids
This read-only attribute returns True or False specifying if rowids will be
included in notifications sent using this subscription. This attribute is
deprecated and will be removed in a future version of cx_Oracle. Use the
qos attribute instead (masked with the constant SUBSCR_QOS_ROWIDS).
.. attribute:: Subscription.timeout
This read-only attribute returns the timeout (in seconds) that was specified
when the subscription was created. A value of 0 indicates that there is no
timeout.

Message Objects
===============
.. note::
This object is created internally when notification is received and passed
to the callback procedure specified when a subscription is created.
.. attribute:: Message.dbname
This read-only attribute returns the name of the database that generated the
notification.
.. attribute:: Message.queries
This read-only attribute returns a list of message query objects that give
information about query result sets changed for this notification. This
attribute will be None if the cqqos parameter did not include the flag
cx_Oracle.SUBSCR_CQ_QOS_QUERY when the subscription was created.
.. attribute:: Message.subscription
This read-only attribute returns the subscription object for which this
notification was generated.
.. attribute:: Message.tables
This read-only attribute returns a list of message table objects that give
information about the tables changed for this notification. This
attribute will be None if the cqqos parameter included the flag
cx_Oracle.SUBSCR_CQ_QOS_QUERY when the subscription was created.
.. attribute:: Message.type
This read-only attribute returns the type of message that has been sent.
See the constants section on database change notification for additional
information.
Message Table Objects
=====================
.. note::
This object is created internally for each table changed when notification
is received and is found in the tables attribute of message objects, and
the tables attribute of message query objects.
.. attribute:: MessageTable.name
This read-only attribute returns the name of the table that was changed.
.. attribute:: MessageTable.operation
This read-only attribute returns the operation that took place on the table
that was changed.
.. attribute:: MessageTable.rows
This read-only attribute returns a list of message row objects that give
information about the rows changed on the table. This value is only filled
in if the rowids argument to the Connection.subscribe() method is True.
Message Row Objects
===================
.. note::
This object is created internally for each row changed on a table when
notification is received and is found in the rows attribute of message table
objects.
.. attribute:: MessageRow.operation
This read-only attribute returns the operation that took place on the row
that was changed.
.. attribute:: MessageRow.rowid
This read-only attribute returns the rowid of the row that was changed.
Message Query Objects
=====================
.. note::
This object is created internally for each query result set changed when
notification is received and is found in the queries attribute of message
objects.
.. attribute:: MessageQuery.id
This read-only attribute returns the query id of the query for which the
result set changed. The value will match the value returned by
Subscription.registerquery when the related query was registered.
.. attribute:: MessageQuery.operation
This read-only attribute returns the operation that took place on the query
result set that was changed. Valid values for this attribute are
cx_Oracle.EVENT_DEREG and cx_Oracle.EVENT_QUERYCHANGE.
.. attribute:: MessageQuery.tables
This read-only attribute returns a list of message table objects that give
information about the table changes that caused the query result set to
change for this notification.
