Partially updates a resource containing information about a database inside a Cloud SQL instance. This method supports patch semantics.

Scopes

You will need authorization for at least one of the following scopes to make a valid call:

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/sqlservice.admin

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform. You can set the scope for this method like this: sqladmin1-beta4 --scope <scope> databases patch ...

Required Scalar Arguments

  • <project> (string)
    • Project ID of the project that contains the instance.
  • <instance> (string)
    • Database instance ID. This does not include the project ID.
  • <database> (string)
    • Name of the database to be updated in the instance.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Database:
  charset: string
  collation: string
  etag: string
  instance: string
  kind: string
  name: string
  project: string
  self-link: string
  sqlserver-database-details:
    compatibility-level: integer
    recovery-model: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . charset=lorem
    • The Cloud SQL charset value.
  • collation=eos
    • The Cloud SQL collation value.
  • etag=labore
    • This field is deprecated and will be removed from a future version of the API.
  • instance=sed
    • The name of the Cloud SQL instance. This does not include the project ID.
  • kind=duo
    • This is always sql#database.
  • name=sed
    • The name of the database in the Cloud SQL instance. This does not include the project ID or instance name.
  • project=no
    • The project ID of the project containing the Cloud SQL database. The Google apps domain is prefixed if applicable.
  • self-link=stet
    • The URI of this resource.
  • sqlserver-database-details compatibility-level=88
    • The version of SQL Server with which the database is to be made compatible
  • recovery-model=et
    • The recovery model of a SQL Server database

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for response.

  • -p callback=string

    • JSONP

  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

  • -p key=string

    • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string

    • Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters.

  • -p upload-type=string

    • Legacy upload protocol for media (e.g. "media", "multipart").
