Member Function Documentation

void pqxx::transaction_base::abort ( )
inherited

Abort the transaction.

No special effort is required to call this function; it will be called implicitly when the transaction is destructed.

void pqxx::transaction_base::Begin ( )
protectedinherited

Begin transaction (to be called by implementing class)

Will typically be called from implementing class' constructor.

Referenced by pqxx::transaction< ISOLATIONLEVEL, READWRITE >::transaction().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

const PGSTD::string& pqxx::internal::namedclass::classname ( ) const throw ()
inlineinherited
void pqxx::transaction_base::commit ( )
inherited

Commit the transaction.

Unless this function is called explicitly, the transaction will not be committed (actually the nontransaction implementation breaks this rule, hence the name).

Once this function returns, the whole transaction will typically be irrevocably completed in the database. There is also, however, a minute risk that the connection to the database may be lost at just the wrong moment. In that case, libpqxx may be unable to determine whether the transaction was completed or aborted and an in_doubt_error will be thrown to make this fact known to the caller. The robusttransaction implementation takes some special precautions to reduce this risk.

connection_base& pqxx::transaction_base::conn ( ) const
inlineinherited

Connection this transaction is running in.

Referenced by pqxx::transaction< ISOLATIONLEVEL, READWRITE >::~transaction().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

PGSTD::string pqxx::internal::namedclass::description ( ) const
inherited
result pqxx::transaction_base::DirectExec ( const char  C[],
int  Retries = 0 
)
protectedinherited

Execute query on connection directly.

Parameters
CQuery or command to execute
RetriesNumber of times to retry the query if it fails. Be extremely careful with this option; if you retry in the middle of a transaction, you may be setting up a new connection transparently and executing the latter part of the transaction without a backend transaction being active (and with the former part aborted).
virtual void pqxx::dbtransaction::do_abort ( )
protectedvirtualinherited

Sensible default implemented here: abort backend transaction.

Default implementation does two things:

  1. Clears the "connection reactivation avoidance counter"
  2. Executes a ROLLBACK statement

Implements pqxx::transaction_base.

Reimplemented in pqxx::subtransaction, and pqxx::basic_robusttransaction.

virtual void pqxx::dbtransaction::do_begin ( )
protectedvirtualinherited

Sensible default implemented here: begin backend transaction.

Implements pqxx::transaction_base.

Reimplemented in pqxx::subtransaction, and pqxx::basic_robusttransaction.

virtual void pqxx::basic_transaction::do_commit ( )
privatevirtual

To be implemented by derived class: commit backend transaction.

Implements pqxx::dbtransaction.

virtual result pqxx::dbtransaction::do_exec ( const char  Query[])
protectedvirtualinherited

Sensible default implemented here: perform query.

Implements pqxx::transaction_base.

void pqxx::transaction_base::End ( ) throw ()
protectedinherited

End transaction. To be called by implementing class' destructor.

Referenced by pqxx::transaction< ISOLATIONLEVEL, READWRITE >::~transaction().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

result pqxx::transaction_base::exec ( const PGSTD::string &  Query,
const PGSTD::string &  Desc = PGSTD::string() 
)
inherited

Execute query.

Perform a query in this transaction.

This is one of the most important functions in libpqxx.

Most libpqxx exceptions can be thrown from here, including sql_error, broken_connection, and many sql_error subtypes such as feature_not_supported or insufficient_privilege. But any exception thrown by the C++ standard library may also occur here. All exceptions will be derived from std::exception, however, and all libpqxx-specific exception types are derived from pqxx::pqxx_exception.

Parameters
QueryQuery or command to execute
DescOptional identifier for query, to help pinpoint SQL errors
Returns
A result set describing the query's or command's result
result pqxx::transaction_base::exec ( const PGSTD::stringstream &  Query,
const PGSTD::string &  Desc = PGSTD::string() 
)
inlineinherited

Here is the caller graph for this function:

const PGSTD::string &  isolation 
)
staticprotectedinherited
PGSTD::string pqxx::transaction_base::get_variable ( const PGSTD::string &  )
inherited

Get currently applicable value of variable.

First consults an internal cache of variables that have been set (whether in the ongoing transaction or in the connection) using the set_variable functions. If it is not found there, the database is queried.

Warning
Do not mix the set_variable with raw "SET" queries, and do not try to set or get variables while a pipeline or table stream is active.
This function used to be declared as const but isn't anymore.
const PGSTD::string& pqxx::internal::namedclass::name ( ) const throw ()
inlineinherited
internal::parameterized_invocation pqxx::transaction_base::parameterized ( const PGSTD::string &  query)
inherited

Parameterize a statement.

prepare::invocation pqxx::transaction_base::prepared ( const PGSTD::string &  statement = PGSTD::string())
inherited

Execute prepared statement.

Prepared statements are defined using the connection classes' prepare() function, and continue to live on in the ongoing session regardless of the context they were defined in (unless explicitly dropped using the connection's unprepare() function). Their execution however, like other forms of query execution, requires a transaction object.

Just like param_declaration is a helper class that lets you tag parameter declarations onto the statement declaration, the invocation class returned here lets you tag parameter values onto the call:

result run_mystatement(transaction_base &T)
{
return T.prepared("mystatement")("param1")(2)()(4).exec();
}

Here, parameter 1 (written as "<tt>$1</tt>" in the statement's body) is a string that receives the value "param1"; the second parameter is an integer with the value 2; the third receives a null, making its type irrelevant; and number 4 again is an integer. The ultimate invocation of exec() is essential; if you forget this, nothing happens.

To see whether any prepared statement has been defined under a given name, use:

T.prepared("mystatement").exists()
Warning
Do not try to execute a prepared statement manually through direct SQL statements. This is likely not to work, and even if it does, is likely to be slower than using the proper libpqxx functions. Also, libpqxx knows how to emulate prepared statements if some part of the infrastructure does not support them.
Actual definition of the prepared statement on the backend may be deferred until its first use, which means that any errors in the prepared statement may not show up until it is executed–and perhaps abort the ongoing transaction in the process.

If you leave out the statement name, the call refers to the nameless statement instead.

void pqxx::transaction_base::process_notice ( const char  Msg[]) const
inlineinherited

Have connection process warning message.

void pqxx::transaction_base::process_notice ( const PGSTD::string &  Msg) const
inlineinherited

Have connection process warning message.

void pqxx::transaction_base::reactivation_avoidance_clear ( ) throw ()
inlineprotectedinherited

Forget about any reactivation-blocking resources we tried to allocate.

References pqxx::result::clear().

Here is the call graph for this function:

void pqxx::transaction_base::set_variable ( const PGSTD::string &  Var,
const PGSTD::string &  Val 
)
inherited

Set session variable in this connection.

The new value is typically forgotten if the transaction aborts. Known exceptions to this rule are nontransaction, and PostgreSQL versions prior to 7.3. In the case of nontransaction, the set value will be kept regardless; but in that case, if the connection ever needs to be recovered, the set value will not be restored.

Parameters
VarThe variable to set
ValThe new value to store in the variable
void pqxx::dbtransaction::start_backend_transaction ( )
protectedinherited

Start a transaction on the backend and set desired isolation level.
