`add_transaction_record(record, ensure_finalize = true)`

Register a record with the current transaction so that its after_commit and after_rollback callbacks can be called.

Source code GitHub

`begin_db_transaction()`

Begins the transaction (and turns off auto-committing).

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 410
def begin_db_transaction()    end

`begin_isolated_db_transaction(isolation)`

Begins the transaction with the isolation level set. Raises an error by default; adapters that support setting the isolation level should implement this method.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 432
def begin_isolated_db_transaction(isolation)
  raise ActiveRecord::TransactionIsolationError, "adapter does not support setting transaction isolation"
end

`commit_db_transaction()`

Commits the transaction (and turns on auto-committing).

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 446
def commit_db_transaction()   end

`create(arel, name = nil, pk = nil, id_value = nil, sequence_name = nil, binds = [], returning: nil)`

Alias for: insert.

`default_sequence_name(table, column)`

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 468
def default_sequence_name(table, column)
  nil
end

`delete(arel, name = nil, binds = [])`

Executes the delete statement and returns the number of rows affected.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 212
def delete(arel, name = nil, binds = [])
  sql, binds = to_sql_and_binds(arel, binds)
  exec_delete(sql, name, binds)
end

`empty_insert_statement_value(primary_key = nil)`

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 498
def empty_insert_statement_value(primary_key = nil)
  "DEFAULT VALUES"
end

`exec_delete(sql, name = nil, binds = [])`

Executes delete sql statement in the context of this connection using binds as the bind substitutes. name is logged along with the executed sql statement.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 165
def exec_delete(sql, name = nil, binds = [])
  affected_rows(internal_execute(sql, name, binds))
end

`exec_insert(sql, name = nil, binds = [], pk = nil, sequence_name = nil, returning: nil)`

Executes insert sql statement in the context of this connection using binds as the bind substitutes. name is logged along with the executed sql statement. Some adapters support the ‘returning` keyword argument which allows to control the result of the query: `nil` is the default value and maintains default behavior. If an array of column names is passed - the result will contain values of the specified columns from the inserted row.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 157
def exec_insert(sql, name = nil, binds = [], pk = nil, sequence_name = nil, returning: nil)
  sql, binds = sql_for_insert(sql, pk, binds, returning)
  internal_exec_query(sql, name, binds)
end

`exec_query(sql, name = "SQL", binds = [], prepare: false)`

Executes sql statement in the context of this connection using binds as the bind substitutes. name is logged along with the executed sql statement.

Note: the query is assumed to have side effects and the query cache will be cleared. If the query is read-only, consider using select_all instead.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 147
def exec_query(sql, name = "SQL", binds = [], prepare: false)
  internal_exec_query(sql, name, binds, prepare: prepare)
end

`exec_update(sql, name = nil, binds = [])`

Executes update sql statement in the context of this connection using binds as the bind substitutes. name is logged along with the executed sql statement.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 172
def exec_update(sql, name = nil, binds = [])
  affected_rows(internal_execute(sql, name, binds))
end

`execute(sql, name = nil, allow_retry: false)`

Executes the SQL statement in the context of this connection and returns the raw result from the connection adapter.

Setting allow_retry to true causes the db to reconnect and retry executing the SQL statement in case of a connection-related exception. This option should only be enabled for known idempotent queries.

Note: the query is assumed to have side effects and the query cache will be cleared. If the query is read-only, consider using select_all instead.

Note: depending on your database connector, the result returned by this method may be manually memory managed. Consider using exec_query wrapper instead.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 136
def execute(sql, name = nil, allow_retry: false)
  internal_execute(sql, name, allow_retry: allow_retry)
end

`high_precision_current_timestamp()`

Returns an Arel SQL literal for the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP for usage with arbitrary precision date/time columns.

Adapters supporting datetime with precision should override this to provide as much precision as is available.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 536
def high_precision_current_timestamp
  HIGH_PRECISION_CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
end

`insert(arel, name = nil, pk = nil, id_value = nil, sequence_name = nil, binds = [], returning: nil)`

Also aliased as: create.

Executes an INSERT query and returns the new record’s ID

id_value will be returned unless the value is nil, in which case the database will attempt to calculate the last inserted id and return that value.

If the next id was calculated in advance (as in Oracle), it should be passed in as id_value. Some adapters support the ‘returning` keyword argument which allows defining the return value of the method: `nil` is the default value and maintains default behavior. If an array of column names is passed - an array of is returned from the method representing values of the specified columns from the inserted row.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 195
def insert(arel, name = nil, pk = nil, id_value = nil, sequence_name = nil, binds = [], returning: nil)
  sql, binds = to_sql_and_binds(arel, binds)
  value = exec_insert(sql, name, binds, pk, sequence_name, returning: returning)

  return returning_column_values(value) unless returning.nil?

  id_value || last_inserted_id(value)
end

`insert_fixture(fixture, table_name)`

Inserts the given fixture into the table. Overridden in adapters that require something beyond a simple insert (e.g. Oracle). Most of adapters should implement insert_fixtures_set that leverages bulk SQL insert. We keep this method to provide fallback for databases like SQLite that do not support bulk inserts.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 482
def insert_fixture(fixture, table_name)
  execute(build_fixture_sql(Array.wrap(fixture), table_name), "Fixture Insert")
end

`insert_fixtures_set(fixture_set, tables_to_delete = [])`

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 486
def insert_fixtures_set(fixture_set, tables_to_delete = [])
  fixture_inserts = build_fixture_statements(fixture_set)
  table_deletes = tables_to_delete.map { |table| "DELETE FROM #{quote_table_name(table)}" }
  statements = table_deletes + fixture_inserts

  transaction(requires_new: true) do
    disable_referential_integrity do
      execute_batch(statements, "Fixtures Load")
    end
  end
end

`reset_isolation_level()`

Hook point called after an isolated DB transaction is committed or rolled back. Most adapters don’t need to implement anything because the isolation level is set on a per transaction basis. But some databases like SQLite set it on a per connection level and need to explicitly reset it after commit or rollback.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 442
def reset_isolation_level
end

`reset_sequence!(table, column, sequence = nil)`

Set the sequence to the max value of the table’s column.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 473
def reset_sequence!(table, column, sequence = nil)
  # Do nothing by default. Implement for PostgreSQL, Oracle, ...
end

`restart_db_transaction()`

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 458
def restart_db_transaction
  exec_restart_db_transaction
end

`rollback_db_transaction()`

Rolls back the transaction (and turns on auto-committing). Must be done if the transaction block raises an exception or returns false.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 450
def rollback_db_transaction
  exec_rollback_db_transaction
rescue ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished, ActiveRecord::ConnectionFailed
  # Connection's gone; that counts as a rollback
end

`rollback_to_savepoint(name = nil)`

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 464
def rollback_to_savepoint(name = nil)
  exec_rollback_to_savepoint(name)
end

`sanitize_limit(limit)`

Sanitizes the given LIMIT parameter in order to prevent SQL injection.

The limit may be anything that can evaluate to a string via to_s. It should look like an integer, or an Arel SQL literal.

Returns Integer and Arel::Nodes::SqlLiteral limits as is.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 508
def sanitize_limit(limit)
  if limit.is_a?(Integer) || limit.is_a?(Arel::Nodes::SqlLiteral)
    limit
  else
    Integer(limit)
  end
end

`select_all(arel, name = nil, binds = [], preparable: nil, async: false, allow_retry: false)`

Returns an ActiveRecord::Result instance.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 69
def select_all(arel, name = nil, binds = [], preparable: nil, async: false, allow_retry: false)
  arel = arel_from_relation(arel)
  sql, binds, preparable, allow_retry = to_sql_and_binds(arel, binds, preparable, allow_retry)

  select(sql, name, binds,
    prepare: prepared_statements && preparable,
    async: async && FutureResult::SelectAll,
    allow_retry: allow_retry
  )
rescue ::RangeError
  ActiveRecord::Result.empty(async: async)
end

`select_one(arel, name = nil, binds = [], async: false)`

Returns a record hash with the column names as keys and column values as values.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 84
def select_one(arel, name = nil, binds = [], async: false)
  select_all(arel, name, binds, async: async).then(&:first)
end

`select_rows(arel, name = nil, binds = [], async: false)`

Returns an array of arrays containing the field values. Order is the same as that returned by columns.

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 101
def select_rows(arel, name = nil, binds = [], async: false)
  select_all(arel, name, binds, async: async).then(&:rows)
end

`select_value(arel, name = nil, binds = [], async: false)`

Returns a single value from a record

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 89
def select_value(arel, name = nil, binds = [], async: false)
  select_rows(arel, name, binds, async: async).then { |rows| single_value_from_rows(rows) }
end

`select_values(arel, name = nil, binds = [])`

Returns an array of the values of the first column in a select:

select_values("SELECT id FROM companies LIMIT 3") => [1,2,3]

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 95
def select_values(arel, name = nil, binds = [])
  select_rows(arel, name, binds).map(&:first)
end

`to_sql(arel_or_sql_string, binds = [])`

Converts an arel AST to SQL

Source code GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 12
def to_sql(arel_or_sql_string, binds = [])
  sql, _ = to_sql_and_binds(arel_or_sql_string, binds)
  sql
end

`transaction(requires_new: nil, isolation: nil, &block)`

Runs the given block in a database transaction, and returns the result of the block.

Transaction callbacks

transaction yields an ActiveRecord::Transaction object on which it is possible to register callback:

ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do |transaction|
  transaction.before_commit { puts "before commit!" }
  transaction.after_commit { puts "after commit!" }
  transaction.after_rollback { puts "after rollback!" }
end

Nested transactions support

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:

ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
  Post.create(title: 'first')
  ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
    Post.create(title: 'second')
    raise ActiveRecord::Rollback
  end
end

This creates both “first” and “second” posts. 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.

Most databases don’t support true nested transactions. At the time of writing, the only database that supports true nested transactions that we’re aware of, is MS-SQL.

In order to get around this problem, transaction will emulate the effect of nested transactions, by using savepoints: dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/savepoint.html.

It is safe to call this method if a database transaction is already open, i.e. if transaction is called within another transaction block. In case of a nested call, transaction will behave as follows:

The block will be run without doing anything. All database statements that happen within the block are effectively appended to the already open database transaction.
However, if :requires_new is set, the block will be wrapped in a database savepoint acting as a sub-transaction.

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:

ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do
  Post.create(title: 'first')
  ActiveRecord::Base.transaction(requires_new: true) do
    Post.create(title: 'second')
    raise ActiveRecord::Rollback
  end
end

only post with title “first” is created.

See ActiveRecord::Transactions to learn more.

Caveats

MySQL doesn’t support DDL transactions. If you perform a DDL operation, then any created savepoints will be automatically released. For example, if you’ve created a savepoint, then you execute a CREATE TABLE statement, then the savepoint that was created will be automatically released.

This means that, on MySQL, you shouldn’t execute DDL operations inside a transaction call that you know might create a savepoint. Otherwise, transaction will raise exceptions when it tries to release the already-automatically-released savepoints:

Model.lease_connection.transaction do  # BEGIN
  Model.lease_connection.transaction(requires_new: true) do  # CREATE SAVEPOINT active_record_1
    Model.lease_connection.create_table(...)
    # active_record_1 now automatically released
  end  # RELEASE SAVEPOINT active_record_1  <--- BOOM! database error!
end

Transaction isolation

If your database supports setting the isolation level for a transaction, you can set it like so:

Post.transaction(isolation: :serializable) do
  # ...
end

Valid isolation levels are:

:read_uncommitted
:read_committed
:repeatable_read
:serializable

You should consult the documentation for your database to understand the semantics of these different levels:

An ActiveRecord::TransactionIsolationError will be raised if:

The adapter does not support setting the isolation level
You are joining an existing open transaction
You are creating a nested (savepoint) transaction

The mysql2, trilogy, and postgresql adapters support setting the transaction isolation level.
