Classes

ActionBeginSavepointRequest

Request message for the "BeginSavepoint" action. Creates a savepoint within a transaction.

Only supported if FLIGHT_SQL_TRANSACTION is FLIGHT_SQL_TRANSACTION_SUPPORT_SAVEPOINT.

ActionBeginSavepointResult

The result of a "BeginSavepoint" action.

The transaction can be manipulated with the "EndSavepoint" action. If the associated transaction is committed, rolled back, or times out, then the savepoint is also invalidated.

The result should be wrapped in a google.protobuf.Any message.

ActionBeginTransactionRequest

Request message for the "BeginTransaction" action. Begins a transaction.

ActionBeginTransactionResult

The result of a "BeginTransaction" action.

The transaction can be manipulated with the "EndTransaction" action, or automatically via server timeout. If the transaction times out, then it is automatically rolled back.

The result should be wrapped in a google.protobuf.Any message.

ActionCancelQueryRequest

Request message for the "CancelQuery" action.

Explicitly cancel a running query.

This lets a single client explicitly cancel work, no matter how many clients are involved/whether the query is distributed or not, given server support. The transaction/statement is not rolled back; it is the application's job to commit or rollback as appropriate. This only indicates the client no longer wishes to read the remainder of the query results or continue submitting data.

This command is idempotent.

This command is deprecated since 13.0.0. Use the "CancelFlightInfo" action with DoAction instead.

ActionCancelQueryResult

The result of cancelling a query.

The result should be wrapped in a google.protobuf.Any message.

This command is deprecated since 13.0.0. Use the "CancelFlightInfo" action with DoAction instead.

ActionCancelQueryResult.Types

Container for nested types declared in the ActionCancelQueryResult message type.

ActionClosePreparedStatementRequest

Request message for the "ClosePreparedStatement" action on a Flight SQL enabled backend. Closes server resources associated with the prepared statement handle.

ActionCreatePreparedStatementRequest

Request message for the "CreatePreparedStatement" action on a Flight SQL enabled backend.

ActionCreatePreparedStatementResult

Wrap the result of a "CreatePreparedStatement" or "CreatePreparedSubstraitPlan" action.

The resultant PreparedStatement can be closed either:

  • Manually, through the "ClosePreparedStatement" action;
  • Automatically, by a server timeout.

The result should be wrapped in a google.protobuf.Any message.

ActionCreatePreparedSubstraitPlanRequest

Request message for the "CreatePreparedSubstraitPlan" action on a Flight SQL enabled backend.

ActionEndSavepointRequest

Request message for the "EndSavepoint" action.

Release (RELEASE) the savepoint or rollback (ROLLBACK) to the savepoint.

Releasing a savepoint invalidates that savepoint. Rolling back to a savepoint does not invalidate the savepoint, but invalidates all savepoints created after the current savepoint.

ActionEndSavepointRequest.Types

Container for nested types declared in the ActionEndSavepointRequest message type.

ActionEndTransactionRequest

Request message for the "EndTransaction" action.

Commit (COMMIT) or rollback (ROLLBACK) the transaction.

If the action completes successfully, the transaction handle is invalidated, as are all associated savepoints.

ActionEndTransactionRequest.Types

Container for nested types declared in the ActionEndTransactionRequest message type.
