Instance(
    instance_id,
    client,
    configuration_name=None,
    node_count=1,
    display_name=None,
    emulator_host=None,
)

Representation of a Cloud Spanner Instance.

We can use a Instance to:

• reload itself
• create itself
• update itself
• delete itself

Parameters
Name	Description
instance_id	str The ID of the instance.
client	Client The client that owns the instance. Provides authorization and a project ID.
configuration_name	str Name of the instance configuration defining how the instance will be created. Required for instances which do not yet exist.
node_count	int (Optional) Number of nodes allocated to the instance.
display_name	str (Optional) The display name for the instance in the Cloud Console UI. (Must be between 4 and 30 characters.) If this value is not set in the constructor, will fall back to the instance ID.

Properties

name

Instance name used in requests.

Note: This property will not change if instance_id does not, but the return value is not cached.

"projects/{project}/instances/{instance_id}"

Returns
Type	Description
str	The instance name.

Methods

backup

backup(backup_id, database="", expire_time=None)

Factory to create a backup within this instance.

Parameters
Name	Description
backup_id	str The ID of the backup.
database	Database Optional. The database that will be used when creating the backup. Required if the create method needs to be called.
expire_time	datetime.datetime Optional. The expire time that will be used when creating the backup. Required if the create method needs to be called.

copy

copy()

Make a copy of this instance.

Copies the local data stored as simple types and copies the client attached to this instance.

Returns
Type	Description
Instance	A copy of the current instance.

create

create()

Create this instance.

See https://cloud.google.com/spanner/reference/rpc/google.spanner.admin.instance.v1#google.spanner.admin.instance.v1.InstanceAdmin.CreateInstance

Note: Uses the project and instance_id on the current Instance in addition to the display_name. To change them before creating, reset the values via .. code:: python instance.display_name = 'New display name' instance.instance_id = 'i-changed-my-mind' before calling create.

Exceptions
Type	Description
Conflict	if the instance already exists

Returns
Type	Description
google.api_core.operation.Operation	an operation instance

database

database(database_id, ddl_statements=(), pool=None)

Factory to create a database within this instance.

Parameters
Name	Description
database_id	str The ID of the instance.
ddl_statements	list of string (Optional) DDL statements, excluding the 'CREATE DATABSE' statement.
pool	concrete subclass of AbstractSessionPool. (Optional) session pool to be used by database.

Returns
Type	Description

Immediately upon completion of the request:

• Billing will cease for all of the instance's reserved resources.

Soon afterward:

• The instance and all databases within the instance will be deleteed. All data in the databases will be permanently deleted.
