No access to `proxy_user` once connection is made

[thrandale]

In cx_Oracle, when you connected with a proxy user, you were able to see that user in connection.username

>>> import cx_Oracle
>>> connection = cx_Oracle.connect("sessionuser[proxyuser]/pw@db")
>>> print(connection.username)
sessionuser[proxyuser]

Though "hacky", you could parse this output to get the proxy user.

In oracledb, when you connect with a proxy user, there is no way to access the proxy user, as it is not included in connection.username

>>> import oracledb
>>> oracledb.init_oracle_client()
>>> connection = oracledb.connect(
...     user="sessionuser",
...     proxy_user="proxyuser",
...     password="pw",
...     dsn="db",
... )
>>> print(connection.username)
sessionuser

It would be great to be able to access the connected proxy user trough either the connection.username or even better a connection.proxy_user

Info

• python -> 3.11.6
• oracledb -> 1.4.2

Our main focus at this point is on the support for asyncio but I will consider this small enhancement as well if I have an opportunity!

[anthony-tuininga]

I have pushed a patch that should implement this enhancement. If you are able to build from source you can verify that it works for you.

The patch has been included in version 2.0.0 which was just released.
