Classes

DatabaseProxy

An interface to interact with a specific database.

This class should not be instantiated directly. Instead use the <xref:CosmosClient.get_database_client> method.

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.
