module Locking
# Locking::Pessimistic provides support for row-level locking using
# SELECT ... FOR UPDATE and other lock types.
#
# Chain ActiveRecord::Base#find to ActiveRecord::QueryMethods#lock to obtain an exclusive
# lock on the selected rows:
# # select * from accounts where id=1 for update
# Account.lock.find(1)
#
# Call lock('some locking clause') to use a database-specific locking clause
# of your own such as 'LOCK IN SHARE MODE' or 'FOR UPDATE NOWAIT'. Example:
#
# Account.transaction do
# # select * from accounts where name = 'shugo' limit 1 for update
# shugo = Account.where("name = 'shugo'").lock(true).first
# yuko = Account.where("name = 'yuko'").lock(true).first
# shugo.balance -= 100
# shugo.save!
# yuko.balance += 100
# yuko.save!
# end
#
# You can also use ActiveRecord::Base#lock! method to lock one record by id.
# This may be better if you don't need to lock every row. Example:
#
# Account.transaction do
# # select * from accounts where ...
# accounts = Account.where(...)
# account1 = accounts.detect { |account| ... }
# account2 = accounts.detect { |account| ... }
# # select * from accounts where id=? for update
# account1.lock!
# account2.lock!
# account1.balance -= 100
# account1.save!
# account2.balance += 100
# account2.save!
# end
#
# You can start a transaction and acquire the lock in one go by calling
# with_lock with a block. The block is called from within
# a transaction, the object is already locked. Example:
#
# account = Account.first
# account.with_lock do
# # This block is called within a transaction,
# # account is already locked.
# account.balance -= 100
# account.save!
# end

module Pessimistic
# Obtain a row lock on this record. Reloads the record to obtain the requested
# lock. Pass an SQL locking clause to append the end of the SELECT statement
# or pass true for "FOR UPDATE" (the default, an exclusive row lock). Returns
# the locked record.
def lock!(lock = true)
reload(:lock => lock) if persisted?

# Wraps the passed block in a transaction, locking the object
# before yielding. You can pass the SQL locking clause
# as argument (see lock!).
