## Usage

To use the Reactive Oracle Client add the following dependency to the dependencies section of your build descriptor:

- Maven (in your `pom.xml`):

    <dependency>
     <groupId>io.vertx</groupId>
     <artifactId>vertx-oracle-client</artifactId>
     <version>4.5.15</version>
    </dependency>

- Gradle (in your `build.gradle` file):

    dependencies {
     compile 'io.vertx:vertx-oracle-client:4.5.15'
    }

## Getting started

Here is the simplest way to connect, query and disconnect

    OracleConnectOptions connectOptions = new OracleConnectOptions()
      .setPort(1521)
      .setHost("the-host")
      .setDatabase("the-db")
      .setUser("user")
      .setPassword("secret");

    // Pool options
    PoolOptions poolOptions = new PoolOptions()
      .setMaxSize(5);

    // Create the client pool
    Pool client = OracleBuilder.pool()
      .with(poolOptions)
      .connectingTo(connectOptions)
      .build();

    // A simple query
    client
      .query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='julien'")
      .execute()
      .onComplete(ar -> {
        if (ar.succeeded()) {
          RowSet<Row> result = ar.result();
          System.out.println("Got " + result.size() + " rows ");
        } else {
          System.out.println("Failure: " + ar.cause().getMessage());
        }

        // Now close the pool
        client.close();
      });

## Connecting to Oracle

Most of the time you will use a pool to connect to Oracle:

    OracleConnectOptions connectOptions = new OracleConnectOptions()
      .setPort(1521)
      .setHost("the-host")
      .setDatabase("the-db")
      .setUser("user")
      .setPassword("secret");

    // Pool options
    PoolOptions poolOptions = new PoolOptions()
      .setMaxSize(5);

    // Create the pooled client
    Pool client = OracleBuilder.pool()
      .with(poolOptions)
      .connectingTo(connectOptions)
      .using(vertx)
      .build();

The pooled client uses a connection pool and any operation will borrow a connection from the pool to execute the operation and release it to the pool.

If you are running with Vert.x you can pass it your Vertx instance:

    OracleConnectOptions connectOptions = new OracleConnectOptions()
      .setPort(1521)
      .setHost("the-host")
      .setDatabase("the-db")
      .setUser("user")
      .setPassword("secret");

    // Pool options
    PoolOptions poolOptions = new PoolOptions()
      .setMaxSize(5);
    // Create the pooled client
    Pool client = OracleBuilder.pool()
      .with(poolOptions)
      .connectingTo(connectOptions)
      .using(vertx)
      .build();

You need to release the pool when you don’t need it anymore:

    pool.close();

When you need to execute several operations on the same connection, you need to use a client `connection`.

You can easily get one from the pool:

    OracleConnectOptions connectOptions = new OracleConnectOptions()
      .setPort(1521)
      .setHost("the-host")
      .setDatabase("the-db")
      .setUser("user")
      .setPassword("secret");

    // Pool options
    PoolOptions poolOptions = new PoolOptions()
      .setMaxSize(5);

    // Create the pooled client
    Pool client = OracleBuilder.pool()
      .with(poolOptions)
      .connectingTo(connectOptions)
      .using(vertx)
      .build();

    // Get a connection from the pool
    client.getConnection().compose(conn -> {
      System.out.println("Got a connection from the pool");

      // All operations execute on the same connection
      return conn
        .query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='julien'")
        .execute()
        .compose(res -> conn
          .query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='emad'")
          .execute())
        .onComplete(ar -> {
          // Release the connection to the pool
          conn.close();
        });
    }).onComplete(ar -> {
      if (ar.succeeded()) {

        System.out.println("Done");
      } else {
        System.out.println("Something went wrong " + ar.cause().getMessage());
      }
    });

Once you are done with the connection you must close it to release it to the pool, so it can be reused.

## Configuration

There are several alternatives for you to configure the client.

### Data Object

A simple way to configure the client is to specify a `OracleConnectOptions` data object.

    OracleConnectOptions connectOptions = new OracleConnectOptions()
      .setPort(1521)
      .setHost("the-host")
      .setDatabase("the-db")
      .setUser("user")
      .setPassword("secret");

    // Pool Options
    PoolOptions poolOptions = new PoolOptions().setMaxSize(5);

    // Create the pool from the data object
    Pool pool = OracleBuilder.pool()
      .with(poolOptions)
      .connectingTo(connectOptions)
      .using(vertx)
      .build();

    pool
      .getConnection()
      .onComplete(ar -> {
        // Handling your connection
      });

### Connection URI

Apart from configuring with a `OracleConnectOptions` data object, we also provide you with an alternative way to connect when you want to configure with a connection URI.

Using the EZConnect format:

    String connectionUri = "oracle:thin:@mydbhost1:5521/mydbservice?connect_timeout=10sec";

    // Connect options
    OracleConnectOptions connectOptions = OracleConnectOptions.fromUri(connectionUri)
      .setUser("user")
      .setPassword("secret");

    // Pool Options
    PoolOptions poolOptions = new PoolOptions().setMaxSize(5);

    // Create the pool from the connection URI
    Pool pool = OracleBuilder.pool()
      .with(poolOptions)
      .connectingTo(connectOptions)
      .using(vertx)
      .build();

Or, using the TNS Alias format:

    String connectionUri = "oracle:thin:@prod_db?TNS_ADMIN=/work/tns/";

    // Connect options
    OracleConnectOptions connectOptions = OracleConnectOptions.fromUri(connectionUri)
      .setUser("user")
      .setPassword("secret");

    // Pool Options
    PoolOptions poolOptions = new PoolOptions().setMaxSize(5);

    // Create the pool from the connection URI
    Pool pool = OracleBuilder.pool()
      .with(poolOptions)
      .connectingTo(connectOptions)
      .using(vertx)
      .build();

## Connect retries

You can configure the client to retry when a connection fails to be established.

    options
      .setReconnectAttempts(2)
      .setReconnectInterval(1000);

## Running queries

When you don’t need a transaction or run single queries, you can run queries directly on the pool; the pool will use one of its connection to run the query and return the result to you.

Here is how to run simple queries:

    client
      .query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='julien'")
      .execute()
      .onComplete(ar -> {
      if (ar.succeeded()) {
        RowSet<Row> result = ar.result();
        System.out.println("Got " + result.size() + " rows ");
      } else {
        System.out.println("Failure: " + ar.cause().getMessage());
      }
    });

### Prepared queries

You can do the same with prepared queries.

The SQL string can refer to parameters by position, using the database syntax `?`

    client
      .preparedQuery("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id=?")
      .execute(Tuple.of("julien"))
      .onComplete(ar -> {
      if (ar.succeeded()) {
        RowSet<Row> rows = ar.result();
        System.out.println("Got " + rows.size() + " rows ");
      } else {
        System.out.println("Failure: " + ar.cause().getMessage());
      }
    });

Query methods provides an asynchronous `RowSet` instance that works for SELECT queries

    client
      .preparedQuery("SELECT first_name, last_name FROM users")
      .execute()
      .onComplete(ar -> {
      if (ar.succeeded()) {
        RowSet<Row> rows = ar.result();
        for (Row row : rows) {
          System.out.println("User " + row.getString(0) + " " + row.getString(1));
        }
      } else {
        System.out.println("Failure: " + ar.cause().getMessage());
      }
    });

or UPDATE/INSERT queries:

    client
      .preparedQuery("INSERT INTO users (first_name, last_name) VALUES (?, ?)")
      .execute(Tuple.of("Julien", "Viet"))
      .onComplete(ar -> {
      if (ar.succeeded()) {
        RowSet<Row> rows = ar.result();
        System.out.println(rows.rowCount());
      } else {
        System.out.println("Failure: " + ar.cause().getMessage());
      }
    });

The `Row` gives you access to your data by index

    System.out.println("User " + row.getString(0) + " " + row.getString(1));

Caution | Column indexes start at 0, not at 1.

Alternatively, data can be retrieved by name:

    System.out.println("User " + row.getString("first_name") + " " + row.getString("last_name"));

The client will not do any magic here and the column name is identified with the name in the table regardless of how your SQL text is.

You can access a wide variety of of types

    String firstName = row.getString("first_name");
    Boolean male = row.getBoolean("male");
    Integer age = row.getInteger("age");

You can use cached prepared statements to execute one-shot prepared queries:

    connectOptions.setCachePreparedStatements(true);
    client
      .preparedQuery("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?")
      .execute(Tuple.of("julien"))
      .onComplete(ar -> {
        if (ar.succeeded()) {
          RowSet<Row> rows = ar.result();
          System.out.println("Got " + rows.size() + " rows ");
        } else {
          System.out.println("Failure: " + ar.cause().getMessage());
        }
      });

You can create a `PreparedStatement` and manage the lifecycle by yourself.

    sqlConnection
      .prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?")
      .onComplete(ar -> {
        if (ar.succeeded()) {
          PreparedStatement preparedStatement = ar.result();
          preparedStatement.query()
            .execute(Tuple.of("julien"))
            .onComplete(ar2 -> {
              if (ar2.succeeded()) {
                RowSet<Row> rows = ar2.result();
                System.out.println("Got " + rows.size() + " rows ");
                preparedStatement.close();
              } else {
                System.out.println("Failure: " + ar2.cause().getMessage());
              }
            });
        } else {
          System.out.println("Failure: " + ar.cause().getMessage());
        }
      });

### Batches

You can execute prepared batch

    List<Tuple> batch = new ArrayList<>();
    batch.add(Tuple.of("julien", "Julien Viet"));
    batch.add(Tuple.of("emad", "Emad Alblueshi"));

    // Execute the prepared batch
    client
      .preparedQuery("INSERT INTO USERS (id, name) VALUES (?, ?)")
      .executeBatch(batch)
      .onComplete(res -> {
      if (res.succeeded()) {

        // Process rows
        RowSet<Row> rows = res.result();
      } else {
        System.out.println("Batch failed " + res.cause());
      }
    });

## Retrieving generated key values

When executing `INSERT` queries, you can retrieve the generated key values.

The values are returned as a `Row` instance. This instance is accessible by invoking `SqlResult.property(kind)` using the `OracleClient.GENERATED_KEYS` property kind.

The key values can be retrieved by column name:

    String sql = "INSERT INTO EntityWithIdentity (name, position) VALUES (?, ?)";

    // Retrieve generated key column value by name
    OraclePrepareOptions options = new OraclePrepareOptions()
      .setAutoGeneratedKeysIndexes(new JsonArray().add("ID"));

    client.preparedQuery(sql, options)
      .execute(Tuple.of("john", 3))
      .onComplete(ar -> {
        if (ar.succeeded()) {
          RowSet<Row> result = ar.result();

          Row generated = result.property(OracleClient.GENERATED_KEYS);
          Long id = generated.getLong("ID");
        }
      });

Or, they can be retrieved by column index:

    String sql = "INSERT INTO EntityWithIdentity (name, position) VALUES (?, ?)";

    // Retrieve generated key column value by index
    OraclePrepareOptions options = new OraclePrepareOptions()
      .setAutoGeneratedKeysIndexes(new JsonArray().add("1"));

    client.preparedQuery(sql, options)
      .execute(Tuple.of("john", 3))
      .onComplete(ar -> {
        if (ar.succeeded()) {
          RowSet<Row> result = ar.result();

          Row generated = result.property(OracleClient.GENERATED_KEYS);
          Long id = generated.getLong("ID");
        }
      });

## Using connections

### Getting a connection

When you need to execute sequential queries (without a transaction), you can create a new connection or borrow one from the pool. Remember that between acquiring the connection from the pool and returning it to the pool, you should take care of the connection because it might be closed by the server for some reason such as an idle time out.

    pool
      .getConnection()
      .compose(connection ->
        connection
          .preparedQuery("INSERT INTO Users (first_name,last_name) VALUES (?, ?)")
          .executeBatch(Arrays.asList(
            Tuple.of("Julien", "Viet"),
            Tuple.of("Emad", "Alblueshi")
          ))
          .compose(res -> connection
            // Do something with rows
            .query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Users")
            .execute()
            .map(rows -> rows.iterator().next().getInteger(0)))
          // Return the connection to the pool
          .eventually(v -> connection.close())
      ).onSuccess(count -> {
      System.out.println("Insert users, now the number of users is " + count);
    });

Prepared queries can be created:

    connection
      .prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE first_name LIKE ?")
      .compose(pq ->
        pq.query()
          .execute(Tuple.of("Julien"))
          .eventually(v -> pq.close())
      ).onSuccess(rows -> {
      // All rows
    });

### Simplified connection API

When you use a pool, you can call `withConnection` to pass it a function executed within a connection.

It borrows a connection from the pool and calls the function with this connection.

The function must return a future of an arbitrary result.

After the future completes, the connection is returned to the pool and the overall result is provided.

    pool.withConnection(connection ->
      connection
        .preparedQuery("INSERT INTO Users (first_name,last_name) VALUES (?, ?)")
        .executeBatch(Arrays.asList(
          Tuple.of("Julien", "Viet"),
          Tuple.of("Emad", "Alblueshi")
        ))
        .compose(res -> connection
          // Do something with rows
          .query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Users")
          .execute()
          .map(rows -> rows.iterator().next().getInteger(0)))
    ).onSuccess(count -> {
      System.out.println("Insert users, now the number of users is " + count);
    });

## Using transactions

### Transactions with connections

You can execute transaction using SQL `BEGIN`/`COMMIT`/`ROLLBACK`, if you do so you must use a `SqlConnection` and manage it yourself.

Or you can use the transaction API of `SqlConnection`:

    pool.getConnection()
      // Transaction must use a connection
      .onSuccess(conn -> {
        // Begin the transaction
        conn.begin()
          .compose(tx -> conn
            // Various statements
            .query("INSERT INTO Users (first_name,last_name) VALUES ('Julien','Viet')")
            .execute()
            .compose(res2 -> conn
              .query("INSERT INTO Users (first_name,last_name) VALUES ('Emad','Alblueshi')")
              .execute())
            // Commit the transaction
            .compose(res3 -> tx.commit()))
          // Return the connection to the pool
          .eventually(v -> conn.close())
          .onSuccess(v -> System.out.println("Transaction succeeded"))
          .onFailure(err -> System.out.println("Transaction failed: " + err.getMessage()));
      });

When the database server reports the current transaction is failed (e.g the infamous current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block), the transaction is rollbacked and the `completion` future is failed with a `TransactionRollbackException`:

    tx.completion()
      .onFailure(err -> {
        System.out.println("Transaction failed => rolled back");
      });

### Simplified transaction API

When you use a pool, you can call `withTransaction` to pass it a function executed within a transaction.

It borrows a connection from the pool, begins the transaction and calls the function with a client executing all operations in the scope of this transaction.

The function must return a future of an arbitrary result:

- when the future succeeds the client will commit the transaction

- when the future fails the client will rollback the transaction

After the transaction completes, the connection is returned to the pool and the overall result is provided.

    pool.withTransaction(client -> client
      .query("INSERT INTO Users (first_name,last_name) VALUES ('Julien','Viet')")
      .execute()
      .flatMap(res -> client
        .query("INSERT INTO Users (first_name,last_name) VALUES ('Emad','Alblueshi')")
        .execute()
        // Map to a message result
        .map("Users inserted")))
      .onSuccess(v -> System.out.println("Transaction succeeded"))
      .onFailure(err -> System.out.println("Transaction failed: " + err.getMessage()));

## Cursors and streaming

By default, prepared query execution fetches all rows, you can use a `Cursor` to control the amount of rows you want to read:

    connection
      .prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > ?")
      .onComplete(ar1 -> {
      if (ar1.succeeded()) {
        PreparedStatement pq = ar1.result();

        // Create a cursor
        Cursor cursor = pq.cursor(Tuple.of(18));

        // Read 50 rows
        cursor
          .read(50)
          .onComplete(ar2 -> {
          if (ar2.succeeded()) {
            RowSet<Row> rows = ar2.result();

            // Check for more ?
            if (cursor.hasMore()) {
              // Repeat the process...
            } else {
              // No more rows - close the cursor
              cursor.close();
            }
          }
        });
      }
    });

Cursors shall be closed when they are released prematurely:

    cursor
      .read(50)
      .onComplete(ar2 -> {
      if (ar2.succeeded()) {
        // Close the cursor
        cursor.close();
      }
    });

A stream API is also available for cursors, which can be more convenient, specially with the Rxified version.

    connection
      .prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > ?")
      .onComplete(ar1 -> {
      if (ar1.succeeded()) {
        PreparedStatement pq = ar1.result();

        // Fetch 50 rows at a time
        RowStream<Row> stream = pq.createStream(50, Tuple.of(18));

        // Use the stream
        stream.exceptionHandler(err -> {
          System.out.println("Error: " + err.getMessage());
        });
        stream.endHandler(v -> {
          System.out.println("End of stream");
        });
        stream.handler(row -> {
          System.out.println("User: " + row.getString("last_name"));
        });
      }
    });

The stream read the rows by batch of `50` and stream them, when the rows have been passed to the handler, a new batch of `50` is read and so on.

The stream can be resumed or paused, the loaded rows will remain in memory until they are delivered and the cursor will stop iterating.

## Data types supported

Currently, the client supports the following Oracle data types:

- CHAR/VARCHAR2(`java.lang.String`)

- NCHAR/NVARCHAR2(`java.lang.String`)

- NUMBER(`BigDecimal`)

- FLOAT(`java.lang.Double`)

- DATE(`java.time.LocalDate`)

- TIMESTAMP(`java.time.LocalDateTime`)

- RAW(`io.vertx.core.buffer.Buffer`)

Tuple decoding uses the above types when storing values.

`BLOB` data type is also supported with one caveat: it must be represented by an instance of `Blob` when writing or filtering. However, when reading `BLOB` data, the client returns a `Buffer`.

    client.preparedQuery("INSERT INTO images (name, data) VALUES (?, ?)")
      // Use io.vertx.oracleclient.data.Blob when inserting
      .execute(Tuple.of("beautiful-sunset.jpg", Blob.copy(imageBuffer)))
      .onComplete(ar -> {
        // Do something
      });

    client.preparedQuery("SELECT data FROM images WHERE id = ?")
      .execute(Tuple.of(id))
      .onComplete(ar -> {
        if (ar.succeeded()) {
          Row row = ar.result().iterator().next();

          // Use io.vertx.core.buffer.Buffer when reading
          Buffer data = row.getBuffer("data");
        }
      });

## Tracing queries

The SQL client can trace query execution when Vert.x has tracing enabled.

The client reports the following client spans:

- `Query` operation name

- tags

- `db.system`: the database management system product

- `db.user`: the database username

- `db.instance`: the database instance

- `db.statement`: the SQL query

- `db.type`: sql

The default tracing policy is `PROPAGATE`, the client will only create a span when involved in an active trace.

You can change the client policy with `setTracingPolicy`, e.g you can set `ALWAYS` to always report a span:

    options.setTracingPolicy(TracingPolicy.ALWAYS);

## Collector queries

You can use Java collectors with the query API:

    Collector<Row, ?, Map<Long, String>> collector = Collectors.toMap(
      row -> row.getLong("id"),
      row -> row.getString("last_name"));

    // Run the query with the collector
    client.query("SELECT * FROM users")
      .collecting(collector)
      .execute()
      .onComplete(ar -> {
        if (ar.succeeded()) {
          SqlResult<Map<Long, String>> result = ar.result();

          // Get the map created by the collector
          Map<Long, String> map = result.value();
          System.out.println("Got " + map);
        } else {
          System.out.println("Failure: " + ar.cause().getMessage());
        }
      });

The collector processing must not keep a reference on the `Row` as there is a single row used for processing the entire set.

The Java `Collectors` provides many interesting predefined collectors, for example you can create easily create a string directly from the row set:

    Collector<Row, ?, String> collector = Collectors.mapping(
      row -> row.getString("last_name"),
      Collectors.joining(",", "(", ")")
    );

    // Run the query with the collector
    client.query("SELECT * FROM users")
      .collecting(collector)
      .execute()
      .onComplete(ar -> {
        if (ar.succeeded()) {
          SqlResult<String> result = ar.result();

          // Get the string created by the collector
          String list = result.value();
          System.out.println("Got " + list);
        } else {
          System.out.println("Failure: " + ar.cause().getMessage());
        }
      });

## Using SSL/TLS

To enable encryption in client options, use the `setSsl` method. By default, `ssl` is set to `false`.

    oracleConnectOptions.setSsl(true);

Encryption can be customized using properties. For example, to set a trust store:

    oracleConnectOptions
      .setSsl(true)
      .addProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", pathToTrustStore)
      .addProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType", "JKS")
      .addProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", trustStorePassword);
