DatabaseProxy Class
An interface to interact with a specific database.
This class should not be instantiated directly. Instead use the get_database_client method to get an existing database, or the create_database method to create a new database.
A database contains one or more containers, each of which can contain items, stored procedures, triggers, and user-defined functions.
A database can also have associated users, each of which is configured with a set of permissions for accessing certain containers, stored procedures, triggers, user-defined functions, or items.
An Azure Cosmos DB SQL API database has the following system-generated properties. These properties are read-only:
_rid: The resource ID.
_ts: When the resource was last updated. The value is a timestamp.
_self: The unique addressable URI for the resource.
_etag: The resource etag required for optimistic concurrency control.
_colls: The addressable path of the collections resource.
_users: The addressable path of the users resource.

Parameters
Name | Description |
---|---|
client_connection
Required
|

properties
|
Default value: None
|
Variables
Name | Description |
---|---|
id

Methods
create_container |
Create a new container with the given ID (name). If a container with the given ID already exists, a CosmosResourceExistsError is raised. |
create_container_if_not_exists |
Create a container if it does not exist already. If the container already exists, the existing settings are returned. Note: it does not check or update the existing container settings or offer throughput if they differ from what was passed into the method. |
create_user |
Create a new user in the container. To update or replace an existing user, use the <xref:ContainerProxy.upsert_user> method. |
delete_container |
Delete a container. |
delete_user |
Delete the specified user from the container. |
get_container_client |
Get a ContainerProxy for a container with specified ID (name). |
get_throughput |
Get the ThroughputProperties object for this database. If no ThroughputProperties already exists for the database, an exception is raised. |
get_user_client |
Get a UserProxy for a user with specified ID. |
list_containers |

query_containers |
List the properties for containers in the current database. |
query_users |
Return all users matching the given query. |
read |
Read the database properties. |
replace_container |
Reset the properties of the container. Property changes are persisted immediately. Any properties not specified will be reset to their default values. |
