About Oracle R2DBC

The Oracle R2DBC Driver is a Java library that supports reactive programming with Oracle Database.

Oracle R2DBC implements the R2DBC Service Provider Interface (SPI) as specified by the Reactive Relational Database Connectivity (R2DBC) project. The R2DBC SPI exposes Reactive Streams as an abstraction for remote database operations. Reactive Streams is a well defined standard for asynchronous, non-blocking, and back-pressured communication. This standard allows an R2DBC driver to interoperate with other reactive libraries and frameworks, such as Spring, Project Reactor, RxJava, and Akka Streams.

Oracle R2DBC 0.1.0 is the initial release of this driver. Release numbers follow the Semantic Versioning specification. As indicated by the major version number of 0, this is a development release in which the behavior implemented for any API may change.

Installation

Oracle R2DBC can be built from source using Maven:

mvn clean install -DskipTests=true

Omitting -DskipTests=true from the command above will execute the test suite, where end-to-end tests connect to an Oracle Database instance. The connection configuration is read from src/test/resources/config.properties.

Artifacts can also be found on Maven Central.

  <groupId>com.oracle.database.r2dbc</groupId>
  <artifactId>oracle-r2dbc</artifactId>
  <version>${version}</version>
</dependency>

Oracle R2DBC is compatible with JDK 11 (or newer), and has the following runtime dependencies:

  • R2DBC SPI 0.8.2
  • Reactive Streams 1.0.3
  • Project Reactor 3.0.0
  • Oracle JDBC 21.1.0.0 for JDK 11 (ojdbc11.jar)
    • Oracle R2DBC relies on the Oracle JDBC Driver's Reactive Extensions APIs. These APIs were introduced in the 21.1 release of Oracle JDBC, and are only available with the JDK 11 build (ojdbc11).

The Oracle R2DBC Driver has been verified with Oracle Database versions 19c and 21c.

Code Examples

The following code example uses the Oracle R2DBC Driver with Project Reactor's Mono and Flux types to open a database connection and execute a SQL query:

ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = ConnectionFactories.get(
  "r2dbc:oracle://db.example.com:1521/db.service.name");

Mono.from(connectionFactory.create())
  .flatMapMany(connection ->
    Flux.from(connection.createStatement(
      "SELECT 'Hello, Oracle' FROM sys.dual")
      .execute())
      .flatMap(result ->
        result.map((row, metadata) -> row.get(0, String.class)))
      .doOnNext(System.out::println)
      .thenMany(connection.close()))
  .subscribe();

When executed, the code above will asynchronously print the result of the SQL query.

The next example includes a named parameter marker, ":locale_name", in the SQL command:

Mono.from(connectionFactory.create())
  .flatMapMany(connection ->
    Flux.from(connection.createStatement(
      "SELECT greeting FROM locale WHERE locale_name = :locale_name")
      .bind("locale_name", "France")
      .execute())
      .flatMap(result ->
        result.map((row, metadata) ->
          String.format("%s, Oracle", row.get("greeting", String.class))))
      .doOnNext(System.out::println)
      .thenMany(connection.close()))
  .subscribe();

Like the previous example, executing the code above will asynchronously print a greeting message. "France" is set as the bind value for locale_name, so the query should return a greeting like "Bonjour" when row.get("greeting") is called.

Documentation

This document specifies the behavior of the R2DBC SPI implemented for the Oracle Database. This SPI implementation is referred to as the "Oracle R2DBC Driver" or "Oracle R2DBC" throughout the remainder of this document.

The Oracle R2DBC Driver implements behavior specified by the R2DBC 0.8.2 Specification and Javadoc

Publisher objects created by Oracle R2DBC implement behavior specified by the Reactive Streams 1.0.3 Specification and Javadoc

The R2DBC and Reactive Streams specifications include requirements that are optional for a compliant implementation. The remainder of this document specifies the Oracle R2DBC Driver's implementation of these optional requirements.

Connection Creation

Thread Safety and Parallel Execution

  • Oracle R2DBC's ConnectionFactory and ConnectionFactoryProvider are thread safe.
  • All other SPI implementations are not thread safe.
  • Executing parallel database calls is not supported over a single Connection. If a thread attempts to initiate a parallel call, that thread is blocked until the connection is no longer executing any other call. This is a limitation of the Oracle Database, which does not support parallel calls within a single session.

Reactive Streams

  • The Oracle R2DBC javadoc of every method that returns a Publisher specifies the behavior of that Publisher in regards to deferred execution and multiple Subscribers.
  • Typically, a Publisher of one or zero items defers execution until a Subscriber subscribes, supports multiple Subscribers, and caches the result of a database call (the same result of the same call is emitted to each Subscriber).
  • Typically, a Publisher of multiple items defers execution until a Subscriber signals demand, and does not support mulitple subscribers.

Errors

Transactions

  • READ COMMITTED is the default transaction isolation level, and is the only level supported in this release.
  • Transaction savepoints are not supported in this release.

Statements

  • Batch execution is only supported for DML type SQL commands (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE).
  • SQL commands may contain JDBC style parameter markers where question mark characters (?) designate unnamed parameters. A numeric index must be used when setting the bind value of an unnamed parameter.
  • SQL commands may contain named parameter markers where the colon character (:) is followed by an alphanumeric parameter name. A name or numeric index may be used when setting the bind value of a named parameter.
  • Parameter names are case-sensitive.
  • The ROWID of each row affected by an INSERT or UPDATE is returned as the generated value for the empty set of column names.
  • A blocking database call is executed by a Statement returning generated values for a non-empty set of column names.
    • The blocking database call is a known limitation that will be resolved with a non-blocking implementation of java.sql.Connection.prepareStatement(String, String[]) in the Oracle JDBC Driver. The Oracle JDBC Team is aware of this problem and is working on a fix.

Type Mappings

  • Blob and Clob objects are the default mapping implemented by Row.get(...) for BLOB and CLOB columns. ByteBuffer and String mappings are not supported for BLOB and CLOB.
    • Oracle Database allows BLOBs and CLOBs to store terabytes of data; This amount would exceed the capacity of a ByteBuffer or String.
    • Blob and Clob objects stream data over a series of ByteBuffers or Strings.
    • Requiring content to be streamed over multiple buffers is necessary for Oracle R2DBC to avoid a potentially memory exhausting implementation in which BLOBs and CLOBs must be fully materialized as a return value for Row.get(...).
  • javax.json.JsonObject and oracle.sql.json.OracleJsonObject are supported as Java type mappings for JSON column values.
  • java.time.Duration is supported as a Java type mapping for INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND column values.
  • java.time.Period is supported as a Java type mapping for INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH column values.
  • java.time.LocalDateTime is supported as a Java type mapping for DATE column values. The Oracle Database type named "DATE" stores the same information as a LocalDateTime: year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.

Secure Programming Guidelines

The following security guidelines should be followed when programming with the Oracle R2DBC Driver.

Defend Against SQL Injection Attacks

  • Always specify the parameters of a SQL command using the bind methods of io.r2dbc.spi.Statement.
    • Do not use String concatenation to specify parameters of a SQL command.
    • Do not use format Strings to specify parameters of a SQL command.

Protect Passwords

  • Do not hard code passwords in your source code.
  • Avoid hard coding passwords in the R2DBC URL.
    • When handling URL strings in code, be aware that a clear text password may appear in the user info section.
  • Use a sensitive io.r2dbc.spi.Option to specify passwords.
    • If possible, specify the Option's value as an instance of java.nio.CharBuffer or java.lang.StringBuffer and clear the contents immediately after ConnectionFactories.get(ConnectionFactoryOptions) has returned. Oracle R2DBC's implementation of ConnectionFactory does not retain a reference to the clear text password.

Protect Network Communications

  • Use SSL/TLS if possible. Use any of the following methods to enable SSL/TLS:
    • Specify the boolean value of true for io.r2dbc.spi.ConnectionFactoryOptions.SSL
    • Specify "r2dbcs:" as the R2DBC URL schema.
    • Specify "ssl=true" in the query section of the R2DBC URL.
  • Use Option.sensitiveValueOf(String) when creating an Option that specifies a password.
    • Option.sensitiveValueOf(OracleConnection.CONNECTION_PROPERTY_WALLET_PASSWORD)
      • An SSO wallet does not require a password.
    • Option.sensitiveValueOf(OracleConnection.CONNECTION_PROPERTY_THIN_JAVAX_NET_SSL_KEYSTOREPASSWORD)
    • Option.sensitiveValueOf(OracleConnection.CONNECTION_PROPERTY_THIN_JAVAX_NET_SSL_TRUSTSTOREPASSWORD)

Defend Against Denial-of-Service Attacks

  • Use a connection pool and configure a maximum size to limit the amount of database sessions created by ConnectionFactory.create()
  • Enforce a maximum batch size to limit invocations of Statement.add() or Batch.add(String).
  • Enforce a maximum fetch size to limit values supplied to Statement.fetchSize(int).
  • Enforce a maximum buffer size to limit memory usage when reading Blob and Clob objects.
