The database class opens and maintains a connection opened to the Database.

It provides many different ways to probe for the characteristics of the data and for the data itself inside the database.

all_files(**kwargs)

Returns the list of all File objects that satisfy your query. For possible keyword arguments, please check the implementation of the derived class Database.objects() function.

annotations(file)

Returns the annotations for the given file id as a dictionary {‘reye’:(y,x), ‘leye’:(y,x)}.

assert_validity()

Raise a RuntimeError if the database back-end is not available.

check_parameter_for_validity(parameter, parameter_description, valid_parameters, default_parameter=None)

Checks the given parameter for validity, i.e., if it is contained in the set of valid parameters. If the parameter is ‘None’ or empty, the default_parameter will be returned, in case it is specified, otherwise a ValueError will be raised.

This function will return the parameter after the check tuple or list of parameters, or raise a ValueError.

Keyword parameters:

parameter : str

The single parameter to be checked. Might be a string or None.

parameter_description : str

valid_parameters : [str]

A list/tuple of valid values for the parameters.

default_parameters : [str] or None

The default parameter that will be returned in case parameter is None or empty. If omitted and parameter is empty, a ValueError is raised.

check_parameters_for_validity(parameters, parameter_description, valid_parameters, default_parameters=None)

Checks the given parameters for validity, i.e., if they are contained in the set of valid parameters. It also assures that the parameters form a tuple or a list. If parameters is ‘None’ or empty, the default_parameters will be returned (if default_parameters is omitted, all valid_parameters are returned).

This function will return a tuple or list of parameters, or raise a ValueError.

Keyword parameters:

parameters : str, [str] or None

The parameters to be checked. Might be a string, a list/tuple of strings, or None.

parameter_description : str

A short description of the parameter. This will be used to raise an exception in case the parameter is not valid.

valid_parameters : [str]

A list/tuple of valid values for the parameters.

default_parameters : [str] or None

The list/tuple of default parameters that will be returned in case parameters is None or empty. If omitted, all valid_parameters are used.
