# Transactions are protective blocks where SQL statements are only permanent if they can all succeed as one atomic action.
# The classic example is a transfer between two accounts where you can only have a deposit if the withdrawal succeeded and
# vice versa. Transactions enforce the integrity of the database and guard the data against program errors or database break-downs.
# So basically you should use transaction blocks whenever you have a number of statements that must be executed together or
# not at all. Example:
#
# transaction do
# david.withdrawal(100)
# mary.deposit(100)
# end
#
# This example will only take money from David and give to Mary if neither +withdrawal+ nor +deposit+ raises an exception.
# Exceptions will force a ROLLBACK that returns the database to the state before the transaction was begun. Be aware, though,
# that the objects by default will _not_ have their instance data returned to their pre-transactional state.
#
# == Rolling back a transaction manually
#
# Instead of relying on exceptions to rollback your transactions, you can also do so manually from within the scope
# of the transaction by accepting a yield parameter and calling rollback! on it. Example:
#
# transaction do |transaction|
# david.withdrawal(100)
# mary.deposit(100)
# transaction.rollback! # rolls back the transaction that was otherwise going to be successful
# end
#
# == Transactions are not distributed across database connections
#
# A transaction acts on a single database connection. If you have
# multiple class-specific databases, the transaction will not protect
# interaction among them. One workaround is to begin a transaction
# on each class whose models you alter:
#
# Student.transaction do
# Course.transaction do
# course.enroll(student)
# student.units += course.units
# end
# end
#
# This is a poor solution, but full distributed transactions are beyond
# the scope of Active Record.
#
# == Save and destroy are automatically wrapped in a transaction
#
# Both Base#save and Base#destroy come wrapped in a transaction that ensures that whatever you do in validations or callbacks
# will happen under the protected cover of a transaction. So you can use validations to check for values that the transaction
# depend on or you can raise exceptions in the callbacks to rollback.
#
# == Object-level transactions (deprecated)
#
# You can enable object-level transactions for Active Record objects, though. You do this by naming each of the Active Records
# that you want to enable object-level transactions for, like this:
#
# Account.transaction(david, mary) do
# david.withdrawal(100)
# mary.deposit(100)
# end
#
# If the transaction fails, David and Mary will be returned to their
# pre-transactional state. No money will have changed hands in neither
# object nor database.
#
# However, useful state such as validation errors are also rolled back,
# limiting the usefulness of this feature. As such it is deprecated in
# Rails 1.2 and will be removed in the next release. Install the
# object_transactions plugin if you wish to continue using it.
#
# == Exception handling
#
# Also have in mind that exceptions thrown within a transaction block will be propagated (after triggering the ROLLBACK), so you
# should be ready to catch those in your application code.
#
# Tribute: Object-level transactions are implemented by Transaction::Simple by Austin Ziegler.
