"""Support for the Oracle database.

Oracle version 8 through current (11g at the time of this writing) are supported.

For information on connecting via specific drivers, see the documentation
for that driver.

Connect Arguments
-----------------

The dialect supports several :func:`~sqlalchemy.create_engine()` arguments which 
affect the behavior of the dialect regardless of driver in use.

* *use_ansi* - Use ANSI JOIN constructs (see the section on Oracle 8).  Defaults
  to ``True``.  If ``False``, Oracle-8 compatible constructs are used for joins.

* *optimize_limits* - defaults to ``False``. see the section on LIMIT/OFFSET.

* *use_binds_for_limits* - defaults to ``True``.  see the section on LIMIT/OFFSET.

Auto Increment Behavior
-----------------------

SQLAlchemy Table objects which include integer primary keys are usually assumed to have
"autoincrementing" behavior, meaning they can generate their own primary key values upon
INSERT.  Since Oracle has no "autoincrement" feature, SQLAlchemy relies upon sequences 
to produce these values.   With the Oracle dialect, *a sequence must always be explicitly
specified to enable autoincrement*.  This is divergent with the majority of documentation 
examples which assume the usage of an autoincrement-capable database.   To specify sequences,
use the sqlalchemy.schema.Sequence object which is passed to a Column construct::

  t = Table('mytable', metadata, 
        Column('id', Integer, Sequence('id_seq'), primary_key=True),
        Column(...), ...
  )

This step is also required when using table reflection, i.e. autoload=True::

  t = Table('mytable', metadata, 
        Column('id', Integer, Sequence('id_seq'), primary_key=True),
        autoload=True
  ) 

Identifier Casing
-----------------

In Oracle, the data dictionary represents all case insensitive identifier names 
using UPPERCASE text.   SQLAlchemy on the other hand considers an all-lower case identifier
name to be case insensitive.   The Oracle dialect converts all case insensitive identifiers
to and from those two formats during schema level communication, such as reflection of
tables and indexes.   Using an UPPERCASE name on the SQLAlchemy side indicates a 
case sensitive identifier, and SQLAlchemy will quote the name - this will cause mismatches
against data dictionary data received from Oracle, so unless identifier names have been
truly created as case sensitive (i.e. using quoted names), all lowercase names should be
used on the SQLAlchemy side.

Unicode
-------

SQLAlchemy 0.6 uses the "native unicode" mode provided as of cx_oracle 5.  cx_oracle 5.0.2
or greater is recommended for support of NCLOB.   If not using cx_oracle 5, the NLS_LANG
environment variable needs to be set in order for the oracle client library to use 
proper encoding, such as "AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8".

Also note that Oracle supports unicode data through the NVARCHAR and NCLOB data types.
When using the SQLAlchemy Unicode and UnicodeText types, these DDL types will be used
within CREATE TABLE statements.   Usage of VARCHAR2 and CLOB with unicode text still 
requires NLS_LANG to be set.

LIMIT/OFFSET Support
--------------------

Oracle has no support for the LIMIT or OFFSET keywords.  SQLAlchemy uses 
a wrapped subquery approach in conjunction with ROWNUM.  The exact methodology 
is taken from
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/06-sep/o56asktom.html .  

There are two options which affect its behavior:

* the "FIRST ROWS()" optimization keyword is not used by default.  To enable the usage of this
  optimization directive, specify ``optimize_limits=True`` to :func:`.create_engine`.
* the values passed for the limit/offset are sent as bound parameters.   Some users have observed
  that Oracle produces a poor query plan when the values are sent as binds and not
  rendered literally.   To render the limit/offset values literally within the SQL 
  statement, specify ``use_binds_for_limits=False`` to :func:`.create_engine`.

Some users have reported better performance when the entirely different approach of a 
window query is used, i.e. ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY), to provide LIMIT/OFFSET (note 
that the majority of users don't observe this).  To suit this case the 
method used for LIMIT/OFFSET can be replaced entirely.  See the recipe at 
http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/wiki/UsageRecipes/WindowFunctionsByDefault
which installs a select compiler that overrides the generation of limit/offset with
a window function.

ON UPDATE CASCADE
-----------------

Oracle doesn't have native ON UPDATE CASCADE functionality.  A trigger based solution 
is available at http://asktom.oracle.com/tkyte/update_cascade/index.html .

When using the SQLAlchemy ORM, the ORM has limited ability to manually issue
cascading updates - specify ForeignKey objects using the 
"deferrable=True, initially='deferred'" keyword arguments,
and specify "passive_updates=False" on each relationship().

Oracle 8 Compatibility
----------------------

When Oracle 8 is detected, the dialect internally configures itself to the following
behaviors:

* the use_ansi flag is set to False.  This has the effect of converting all
  JOIN phrases into the WHERE clause, and in the case of LEFT OUTER JOIN
  makes use of Oracle's (+) operator.

* the NVARCHAR2 and NCLOB datatypes are no longer generated as DDL when 
  the :class:`~sqlalchemy.types.Unicode` is used - VARCHAR2 and CLOB are issued 
  instead.   This because these types don't seem to work correctly on Oracle 8
  even though they are available.  The :class:`~sqlalchemy.types.NVARCHAR` 
  and :class:`~sqlalchemy.dialects.oracle.NCLOB` types will always generate NVARCHAR2 and NCLOB.

* the "native unicode" mode is disabled when using cx_oracle, i.e. SQLAlchemy 
  encodes all Python unicode objects to "string" before passing in as bind parameters.

Synonym/DBLINK Reflection
-------------------------

When using reflection with Table objects, the dialect can optionally search for tables
indicated by synonyms that reference DBLINK-ed tables by passing the flag 
oracle_resolve_synonyms=True as a keyword argument to the Table construct.  If DBLINK 
is not in use this flag should be left off.
