azure_functions_db

SqlAlchemySource(*, url, table=None, schema=None, query=None, cursor_column, pk_columns, where=None, parameters=None, strategy='cursor', operation_mode='upsert_only', engine_provider=None)

SQLAlchemy-based source adapter for cursor-based change polling.

Implements the SourceAdapter protocol defined in azure_functions_db.trigger.runner.

Parameters

url: SQLAlchemy connection URL. Supports %VAR% env-var substitution. table: Table name to poll. Mutually exclusive with query. schema: Optional schema qualifier for table. query: Raw SQL query to poll. Mutually exclusive with table. cursor_column: Column used for cursor-based ordering. pk_columns: Primary-key column(s) for tie-breaking within the same cursor value. where: Optional extra SQL WHERE clause fragment (appended with AND). parameters: Optional bind parameters for where or query. strategy: Polling strategy. Only "cursor" is supported. operation_mode: Operation mode. Only "upsert_only" is supported.

DbReader(*, url, table=None, schema=None, engine_provider=None)

Imperative input binding for reading database rows.

Provides get() for single-row lookup by primary key and query() for arbitrary SQL queries. Uses SQLAlchemy Core under the hood and integrates with :class:EngineProvider for shared connection pooling.

Thread Safety

Instances are not safe to share across concurrent threads or async invocations. Create a separate DbReader per function invocation, or use a with block to scope the lifecycle.

Parameters

url: SQLAlchemy connection URL. Supports %VAR% env-var substitution. table: Table name for get() operations. Optional if only query() is used. schema: Optional schema qualifier for table. engine_provider: Optional shared :class:EngineProvider. When provided, the reader uses a pooled engine instead of creating its own.

get(*, pk)

Look up a single row by primary key.

Requires table to have been set in the constructor.

Parameters

pk: Mapping of primary-key column name to value. All keys must be actual primary key columns of the table.

Returns

dict or None The matching row as a dict, or None if no row matches.

Raises

ConfigurationError If table was not set, or pk contains unknown columns. QueryError If more than one row matches the provided key.

transaction()

Group multiple write operations into a single SQL transaction.

Inside the with block, every call to insert, insert_many, upsert, upsert_many, update, and delete executes on the same connection and shares one transaction. The transaction is committed on normal exit and rolled back if any exception leaves the block.

Nested transaction() calls on the same writer are not supported and raise :class:WriteError.

Example

with writer.transaction(): ... writer.insert(data={"id": 1, "status": "pending"}) ... writer.update(data={"status": "shipped"}, pk={"id": 1})

Raises

WriteError If a transaction is already active on this writer, if the connection cannot be acquired, or if commit fails. The original exception is preserved as the cause when applicable.

DbBindings

Azure Functions-style decorator API for database integration.

Provides trigger, input, output, inject_reader, and inject_writer decorator methods that wrap the imperative API (PollTrigger, DbReader, DbWriter) in an Azure Functions-native decorator experience.

Data injection (input / output): input injects query results into handler parameters. output injects a :class:DbOut instance; call .set() to write data explicitly.

Client injection (inject_reader / inject_writer): Handlers receive DbReader / DbWriter instances for imperative control.

Decorator order contract

Decorator composition rules: - Azure decorators outermost, db decorators closest to the function - trigger + output can be combined (process events and write results) - trigger + inject_writer can be combined (imperative write in trigger handler) - input + output can be combined (read data, write results) - input and inject_reader are mutually exclusive - output and inject_writer are mutually exclusive - No decorator can be applied twice to the same handler

Valid combinations::

@app.schedule(...)
@db.trigger(...)        # Azure trigger outermost
@db.output("out", ...)  # db output innermost
def handler(events, out: DbOut) -> None:
    out.set([...])

@db.input("user", ...)
@db.output("out", ...)
def handler(user, out: DbOut) -> dict:
    out.set({...})
    return user

Note: This is a pseudo-trigger implementation. trigger requires an actual Azure Functions trigger (e.g. @app.schedule) to fire. It does not register a native Azure Functions binding.

trigger(*, arg_name, source, checkpoint_store, name=None, normalizer=None, batch_size=100, max_batches_per_tick=1, lease_ttl_seconds=120, retry_policy=None, metrics=None)

Decorator for database change detection (pseudo-trigger).

Wraps a handler function so that on each invocation it polls the database source for new/changed rows and passes them to the handler.

The decorated function's arg_name parameter will receive the list of :class:RowChange events. An optional parameter named context will receive the :class:PollContext.

Must be used together with an actual Azure Functions trigger (e.g. @app.schedule(...)).

Parameters

arg_name: Name of the handler parameter that receives the events list. source: Database source adapter (e.g. SqlAlchemySource). checkpoint_store: State store for checkpointing (e.g. BlobCheckpointStore). name: Trigger name for logging/metrics. Defaults to the function name.

.. note:: Only synchronous handlers are supported. Async handlers will raise ConfigurationError at decoration time. This is because PollTrigger.run is synchronous.

input(arg_name, *, url, table=None, schema=None, pk=None, query=None, params=None, model=None, on_not_found='none', engine_provider=None)

Decorator that injects query results into the handler.

The handler parameter named arg_name will receive the actual data from the database, not a DbReader instance. Exactly one of pk or query must be provided.

PK mode (single row): The parameter receives dict[str, object] | None. Use a static dict for fixed lookups or a callable for dynamic resolution from other handler parameters::

    @db.input("user", url=..., table="users",
                 pk=lambda req: {"id": req.params["id"]})
    def handler(req, user): ...

Query mode (multiple rows): The parameter receives list[dict[str, object]]::

    @db.input("users", url=...,
                 query="SELECT * FROM users WHERE active = :active",
                 params={"active": True})
    def handler(users): ...

Parameters

arg_name: Name of the handler parameter that receives the data. url: SQLAlchemy connection URL. Supports %VAR% env-var substitution. table: Table name. Required when using pk. schema: Optional schema qualifier. pk: Primary key for single-row lookup. Either a static dict or a callable whose parameter names match other handler parameters. query: SQL query string for multi-row results. Use :name placeholders for parameters. params: Parameters for query. Either a static dict or a callable. on_not_found: Behavior when pk lookup returns no row. "none" (default) injects None; "raise" raises NotFoundError. engine_provider: Optional shared EngineProvider for connection pooling.

Supports both sync and async handlers. For async handlers, blocking database I/O is automatically offloaded via asyncio.to_thread().

output(arg_name, *, url, table, schema=None, action='insert', conflict_columns=None, engine_provider=None)

Decorator that injects a :class:DbOut instance into the handler.

Follows the native Azure Functions output binding pattern (func.Out[T] with .set()). The handler parameter named arg_name will receive a DbOut instance for sync handlers or an _AsyncDbOutProxy for async handlers.

The handler's return value is not intercepted — use out.set(data) to write explicitly.

Parameters

arg_name: Name of the handler parameter that receives the DbOut. url: SQLAlchemy connection URL. Supports %VAR% env-var substitution. table: Table name for write operations. schema: Optional schema qualifier. action: Write action: "insert" (default) or "upsert". conflict_columns: Columns for upsert conflict resolution. Required when action="upsert". engine_provider: Optional shared EngineProvider for connection pooling.

Supports both sync and async handlers. For async handlers, blocking database I/O is automatically offloaded via asyncio.to_thread().

DbOut(*, url, table, schema, action, conflict_columns, engine_provider)

Output binding parameter injected by the output decorator.

Mirrors the native Azure Functions func.Out[T] pattern. The handler calls .set() to write data to the database explicitly, leaving the handler's return value free for other purposes (e.g. HttpResponse).

Example::

@db.output("order", url="%DB_URL%", table="orders")
def create_order(req, order: DbOut) -> func.HttpResponse:
    order.set({"id": 1, "status": "pending"})
    return func.HttpResponse("Created", status_code=201)

Accepted types for .set(): - dict — single-row write - list[dict] — batch write - BaseModel / list[BaseModel] — auto-dumped to dict - None — no-op (skip write)

BlobCheckpointStore(*, container_client, source_fingerprint)

acquire_lease(poller_name, ttl_seconds)

Acquire a lease on the poller's state blob.

Creates the blob if it does not exist. If the blob exists and the lease has expired (past expires_at + grace), the lease is stolen with an incremented fencing token.

Returns a lease_id string in the format {owner_id}:{fencing_token}.

Raises LeaseConflictError when a lease is already active or another instance won the CAS race.
