require 'thread' module ActiveRecord # See ActiveRecord::Transactions::ClassMethods for documentation. module Transactions extend ActiveSupport::Concern class TransactionError < ActiveRecordError # :nodoc: end included do define_callbacks :commit, :rollback, :terminator => "result == false", :scope => [:kind, :name] end # = Active Record Transactions # # 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. # # For example: # # ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do # david.withdrawal(100) # mary.deposit(100) # end # # This example will only take money from David and give it to Mary if neither # +withdrawal+ nor +deposit+ raise an exception. Exceptions will force a # ROLLBACK that returns the database to the state before the transaction # began. Be aware, though, that the objects will _not_ have their instance # data returned to their pre-transactional state. # # == Different Active Record classes in a single transaction # # Though the transaction class method is called on some Active Record class, # the objects within the transaction block need not all be instances of # that class. This is because transactions are per-database connection, not # per-model. # # In this example a +balance+ record is transactionally saved even # though +transaction+ is called on the +Account+ class: # # Account.transaction do # balance.save! # account.save! # end # # The +transaction+ method is also available as a model instance method. # For example, you can also do this: # # balance.transaction do # balance.save! # account.save! # 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 fully distributed transactions are beyond # the scope of Active Record. # # == +save+ and +destroy+ are automatically wrapped in a transaction # # Both +save+ and +destroy+ come wrapped in a transaction that ensures # that whatever you do in validations or callbacks will happen under its # protected cover. So you can use validations to check for values that # the transaction depends on or you can raise exceptions in the callbacks # to rollback, including after_* callbacks. # # As a consequence changes to the database are not seen outside your connection # until the operation is complete. For example, if you try to update the index # of a search engine in +after_save+ the indexer won't see the updated record. # The +after_commit+ callback is the only one that is triggered once the update # is committed. See below. # # == Exception handling and rolling back # # 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. # # One exception is the ActiveRecord::Rollback exception, which will trigger # a ROLLBACK when raised, but not be re-raised by the transaction block. # # *Warning*: one should not catch ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid exceptions # inside a transaction block. ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid exceptions indicate that an # error occurred at the database level, for example when a unique constraint # is violated. On some database systems, such as PostgreSQL, database errors # inside a transaction cause the entire transaction to become unusable # until it's restarted from the beginning. Here is an example which # demonstrates the problem: # # # Suppose that we have a Number model with a unique column called 'i'. # Number.transaction do # Number.create(i: 0) # begin # # This will raise a unique constraint error... # Number.create(i: 0) # rescue ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid # # ...which we ignore. # end # # # On PostgreSQL, the transaction is now unusable. The following # # statement will cause a PostgreSQL error, even though the unique # # constraint is no longer violated: # Number.create(i: 1) # # => "PGError: ERROR: current transaction is aborted, commands # # ignored until end of transaction block" # end # # One should restart the entire transaction if an # ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid occurred. # # == Nested transactions # # +transaction+ calls can be nested. By default, this makes all database # statements in the nested transaction block become part of the parent # transaction. For example, the following behavior may be surprising: # # User.transaction do # User.create(username: 'Kotori') # User.transaction do # User.create(username: 'Nemu') # raise ActiveRecord::Rollback # end # end # # creates both "Kotori" and "Nemu". Reason is the ActiveRecord::Rollback # exception in the nested block does not issue a ROLLBACK. Since these exceptions # are captured in transaction blocks, the parent block does not see it and the # real transaction is committed. # # In order to get a ROLLBACK for the nested transaction you may ask for a real # sub-transaction by passing requires_new: true. If anything goes wrong, # the database rolls back to the beginning of the sub-transaction without rolling # back the parent transaction. If we add it to the previous example: # # User.transaction do # User.create(username: 'Kotori') # User.transaction(requires_new: true) do # User.create(username: 'Nemu') # raise ActiveRecord::Rollback # end # end # # only "Kotori" is created. (This works on MySQL and PostgreSQL, but not on SQLite3.) # # Most databases don't support true nested transactions. At the time of # writing, the only database that we're aware of that supports true nested # transactions, is MS-SQL. Because of this, Active Record emulates nested # transactions by using savepoints on MySQL and PostgreSQL. See # http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/savepoint.html # for more information about savepoints. # # === Callbacks # # There are two types of callbacks associated with committing and rolling back transactions: # +after_commit+ and +after_rollback+. # # +after_commit+ callbacks are called on every record saved or destroyed within a # transaction immediately after the transaction is committed. +after_rollback+ callbacks # are called on every record saved or destroyed within a transaction immediately after the # transaction or savepoint is rolled back. # # These callbacks are useful for interacting with other systems since you will be guaranteed # that the callback is only executed when the database is in a permanent state. For example, # +after_commit+ is a good spot to put in a hook to clearing a cache since clearing it from # within a transaction could trigger the cache to be regenerated before the database is updated. # # === Caveats # # If you're on MySQL, then do not use DDL operations in nested transactions # blocks that are emulated with savepoints. That is, do not execute statements # like 'CREATE TABLE' inside such blocks. This is because MySQL automatically # releases all savepoints upon executing a DDL operation. When +transaction+ # is finished and tries to release the savepoint it created earlier, a # database error will occur because the savepoint has already been # automatically released. The following example demonstrates the problem: # # Model.connection.transaction do # BEGIN # Model.connection.transaction(requires_new: true) do # CREATE SAVEPOINT active_record_1 # Model.connection.create_table(...) # active_record_1 now automatically released # end # RELEASE savepoint active_record_1 # # ^^^^ BOOM! database error! # end # # Note that "TRUNCATE" is also a MySQL DDL statement! module ClassMethods # See ActiveRecord::Transactions::ClassMethods for detailed documentation. def transaction(options = {}, &block) # See the ConnectionAdapters::DatabaseStatements#transaction API docs. connection.transaction(options, &block) end # This callback is called after a record has been created, updated, or destroyed. # # You can specify that the callback should only be fired by a certain action with # the +:on+ option: # # after_commit :do_foo, on: :create # after_commit :do_bar, on: :update # after_commit :do_baz, on: :destroy # # Also, to have the callback fired on create and update, but not on destroy: # # after_commit :do_zoo, if: :persisted? # # Note that transactional fixtures do not play well with this feature.
