firebird.driver.interfaces¶

This module contains interface wrappers for Firebird new API.

Important

Firebird OO API interfaces use inheritance, i.e. they could be inherited from other interface. In fact, all interfaces returned by Firebird are inherited from IVersioned interface.
Firebird OO API interfaces are versioned. Any addition to particular interface increases its version number. Application developers are responsible to check the version of returned interface to verify that it supports methods they want to use.

If you want to use Firebird OO API interfaces directly in you application, read next section very carefuly.

In Python driver, interfaces are represented as instances of interface wrapper classes that expose the methods provided by particular Firebird interface version. The wrapper class hierarchy thus represent not only inheritabce between Firebird interfaces, but also between versions of particular Firebird interface.

Because all interfaces returned by Firebird are inherited from IVersioned interface, all wrapper classes have VERSION class attribute that contain version number of wrapped interface.

Each Firebird interface has it’s “canonical” Python wrapper with coresponding name. For example interface IService has wrapper class iService. However, if there are multiple public versions of Firebird interface, there are multiple wrapper classes for each published interface version (interim, non-public versions used during Firebird development are skipped). These wrapper classes have names based on their canonical name with suffix that represent the interface version they wrap. It means that canonical wrapper always represents the highest interface version.

Whenever Firebird interface is returned from Firebird OO API call, it’s wrapped to its Python wrapper class according to interface type and version. The Python driver ensures that correct wrapper class is used according to returned interface version.

However, this architecture has several important consequences:

The interface wrapper classes may change between driver releases as new interface versions are introduced. For example, driver versions up to 1.5.2 had only canonical iService (version 3), but in version 1.6.0 it was renamed to iService_v3, new wrappers iService_v4 and (new canonical) iService (version 5) were added.
Instead using isinstance to check interface versions, you should always use VERSION attribute on wrapper class instance.
