#add_limit!(sql, options) ⇒ Object

def add_limit!(sql, options)
  add_limit_offset!(sql, options) if options
end

#add_limit_offset!(sql, options) ⇒ Object

Appends LIMIT and OFFSET options to an SQL statement, or some SQL fragment that has the same semantics as LIMIT and OFFSET.

options must be a Hash which contains a :limit option (required) and an :offset option (optional).

This method modifies the sql parameter.

Examples
add_limit_offset!('SELECT * FROM suppliers', {:limit => 10, :offset => 50})

generates

SELECT * FROM suppliers LIMIT 10 OFFSET 50

    sql << " LIMIT #{sanitize_limit(limit)}"
    if offset = options[:offset]
      sql << " OFFSET #{offset.to_i}"
    end
  end
  sql
end

#add_lock!(sql, options) ⇒ Object

Appends a locking clause to an SQL statement. This method modifies the sql parameter.

# SELECT * FROM suppliers FOR UPDATE
add_lock! 'SELECT * FROM suppliers', :lock => true
add_lock! 'SELECT * FROM suppliers', :lock => ' FOR UPDATE'

#insert_fixture(fixture, table_name) ⇒ Object

Inserts the given fixture into the table. Overridden in adapters that require something beyond a simple insert (eg. Oracle).



234
235
236
# File 'lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb', line 234

def insert_fixture(fixture, table_name)

def limited_update_conditions(where_sql, quoted_table_name, quoted_primary_key)
  "WHERE #{quoted_primary_key} IN (SELECT #{quoted_primary_key} FROM #{quoted_table_name} #{where_sql})"
end

#outside_transaction?Boolean

Checks whether there is currently no transaction active. This is done by querying the database driver, and does not use the transaction house-keeping information recorded by #increment_open_transactions and friends.

Returns true if there is no transaction active, false if there is a transaction active, and nil if this information is unknown.

Not all adapters supports transaction state introspection. Currently, only the PostgreSQL adapter supports this.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

end

#transaction(options = {}) ⇒ Object

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

Nested transactions support

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/5.0/en/savepoints.html Savepoints are supported by MySQL and PostgreSQL, but not SQLite3.

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.

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.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
