	)

Begin a transaction.

Only call this from code with outer transcation scope. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Database_transactions for details. Nesting of transactions is not supported.

Note that when the DBO_TRX flag is set (which is usually the case for web requests, but not for maintenance scripts), any previous database query will have started a transaction automatically.

Nesting of transactions is not supported. Attempts to nest transactions will cause a warning, unless the current transaction was started automatically because of the DBO_TRX flag.

Parameters

string	$fname	Calling function name
string	$mode	A situationally valid IDatabase::TRANSACTION_* constant [optional]

Exceptions

DBError If an error occurs, see IDatabase::query()

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database.

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::buildGroupConcatField	(	$delim,
		$table,
		$field,
		$conds = `''`,
		$join_conds = `[]`
	)

Build a GROUP_CONCAT or equivalent statement for a query.

This is useful for combining a field for several rows into a single string. NULL values will not appear in the output, duplicated values will appear, and the resulting delimiter-separated values have no defined sort order. Code using the results may need to use the PHP unique() or sort() methods.

Parameters

string	$delim	Glue to bind the results together

string	$field	Field name
string \| array	$conds	Conditions
string \| array	$join_conds	Join conditions

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseMysqlBase, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ buildLike()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::buildLike ( $param )

LIKE statement wrapper.

This takes a variable-length argument list with parts of pattern to match containing either string literals that will be escaped or tokens returned by anyChar() or anyString(). Alternatively, the function could be provided with an array of aforementioned parameters.

Example: $dbr->buildLike( 'My_page_title/', $dbr->anyString() ) returns a LIKE clause that searches for subpages of 'My page title'. Alternatively: $pattern = [ 'My_page_title/', $dbr->anyString() ]; $query .= $dbr->buildLike( $pattern );

Since: 1.16

Parameters

array[] | string | LikeMatch $param

Returns: string Fully built LIKE statement -suppress-next-line PhanMismatchVariadicComment -param array|string|LikeMatch ...$param T226223

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

		$vars,
		$conds = `''`,
		$fname = `__METHOD__`,
		$options = `[]`,
		$join_conds = `[]`
	)

Equivalent to IDatabase::selectSQLText() except wraps the result in Subqyery.

See also: IDatabase::selectSQLText()

Parameters

string \| array	$table	Table name
string \| array	$vars	Field names
string \| array	$conds	Conditions
string	$fname	Caller function name
string \| array	$options	Query options
string \| array	$join_conds	Join conditions

Returns: Subquery

◆ buildStringCast()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::buildStringCast ( $field )

Parameters

string $field Field or column to cast

Returns: string

Since: 1.28

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseMysqlBase, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabasePostgres, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseSqlite, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ buildSubString()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::buildSubString	(	$input,
		$startPosition,
		$length = `null`
	)

Build a SUBSTRING function.

Behavior for non-ASCII values is undefined.

Parameters

string	$input	Field name
int	$startPosition	Positive integer
int \| null	$length	Non-negative integer length or null for no limit

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException

Returns: string SQL text

Since: 1.31

Referenced by DeleteLocalPasswords\processUsers().

◆ cancelAtomic()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::cancelAtomic	(		$fname = `__METHOD__`,
		AtomicSectionIdentifier	$sectionId = `null`
	)

Cancel an atomic section of SQL statements.

This will roll back only the statements executed since the start of the most recent atomic section, and close that section. If a transaction was open before the corresponding startAtomic() call, any statements before that call are not rolled back and the transaction remains open. If the corresponding startAtomic() implicitly started a transaction, that transaction is rolled back.

Note: callers must use additional measures for situations involving two or more (peer) transactions (e.g. updating two database servers at once). The transaction and savepoint logic of startAtomic() are bound to specific IDatabase instances.

Note that a call to IDatabase::rollback() will also roll back any open atomic sections.

Note: As a micro-optimization to save a few DB calls, this method may only be called when startAtomic() was called with the ATOMIC_CANCELABLE flag.

Since: 1.31

See also: IDatabase::startAtomic

Parameters

string	$fname
AtomicSectionIdentifier \| null	$sectionId	Section ID from startAtomic(); passing this enables cancellation of unclosed nested sections [optional]

Exceptions

DBError If an error occurs, see IDatabase::query()

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ clearFlag()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::clearFlag	(	$flag,
		$remember = `self::REMEMBER_NOTHING`
	)

Clear a flag for this connection.

Parameters

int	$flag	One of (IDatabase::DBO_DEBUG, IDatabase::DBO_TRX)
string	$remember	IDatabase::REMEMBER_* constant [default: REMEMBER_NOTHING]

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

Referenced by Wikimedia\Rdbms\LoadBalancer\enforceConnectionFlags(), and JobQueueDB\getScopedNoTrxFlag().

◆ close()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::close	(	$fname = `__METHOD__`,
		$owner = `null`
	)

Close the database connection.

This should only be called after any transactions have been resolved, aside from read-only automatic transactions (assuming no callbacks are registered). If a transaction is still open anyway, it will be rolled back.

Parameters

string	$fname	Caller name
int \| null	$owner	ID of the calling instance (e.g. the LBFactory ID)

Returns: bool Success

Exceptions

DBError

◆ commit()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::commit	(	$fname = `__METHOD__`,
		$flush = `self::FLUSHING_ONE`
	)

Commits a transaction previously started using begin()

If no transaction is in progress, a warning is issued.

Only call this from code with outer transcation scope. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Database_transactions for details. Nesting of transactions is not supported.

Parameters

string	$fname
string	$flush	Flush flag, set to situationally valid IDatabase::FLUSHING_* constant to disable warnings about explicitly committing implicit transactions, or calling commit when no transaction is in progress.

In systems like mysql/mariadb, different databases can easily be referenced on a single connection merely by name, even in a single query via JOIN. On the other hand, Postgres treats databases as fully separate, only allowing mechanisms like postgres_fdw to effectively "mount" foreign DBs. This is true even among DBs on the same server.

Returns: bool

Since: 1.29

		$format = `TS_MW`
	)

Decode an expiry time into a DBMS independent format.

Parameters

int	$format	TS_* constant, defaults to TS_MW

Returns: string

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ delete()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::delete	(	$table,
		$conds,
		$fname = `__METHOD__`
	)

DELETE query wrapper.

Parameters

string	$table	Table name
string \| array	$conds	Array of conditions. See $conds in IDatabase::select() for the format. Use $conds == "*" to delete all rows
string	$fname	Name of the calling function

Returns: bool Return true if no exception was thrown (deprecated since 1.33)

Exceptions

DBError If an error occurs, see IDatabase::query()

◆ deleteJoin()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::deleteJoin	(	$delTable,
		$joinTable,
		$delVar,
		$joinVar,
		$conds,
		$fname = `__METHOD__`
	)

DELETE where the condition is a join.

MySQL overrides this to use a multi-table DELETE syntax, in other databases we use sub-selects

For safety, an empty $conds will not delete everything. If you want to delete all rows where the join condition matches, set $conds='*'.

DO NOT put the join condition in $conds.

Parameters

string	$delTable	The table to delete from.
string	$joinTable	The other table.
string	$delVar	The variable to join on, in the first table.
string	$joinVar	The variable to join on, in the second table.
array \| string	$conds	Condition array of field names mapped to variables, ANDed together in the WHERE clause
string	$fname	Calling function name (use METHOD) for logs/profiling

◆ doAtomicSection()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::doAtomicSection	(		$fname,
		callable	$callback,
			$cancelable = `self::ATOMIC_NOT_CANCELABLE`
	)

Perform an atomic section of reversable SQL statements from a callback.

The $callback takes the following arguments:

This database object
The value of $fname

This will execute the callback inside a pair of startAtomic()/endAtomic() calls. If any exception occurs during execution of the callback, it will be handled as follows:

If $cancelable is ATOMIC_CANCELABLE, cancelAtomic() will be called to back out any (and only) statements executed during the atomic section. If that succeeds, then the exception will be re-thrown; if it fails, then a different exception will be thrown and any further query attempts will fail until rollback() is called.
If $cancelable is ATOMIC_NOT_CANCELABLE, cancelAtomic() will be called to mark the end of the section and the error will be re-thrown. Any further query attempts will fail until rollback() is called.

This method is convenient for letting calls to the caller of this method be wrapped in a try/catch blocks for exception types that imply that the caller failed but was able to properly discard the changes it made in the transaction. This method can be an alternative to explicit calls to startAtomic()/endAtomic()/cancelAtomic().

Example usage, "RecordStore::save" method:

$dbw->doAtomicSection( __METHOD__, function ( $dbw ) use ( $record ) {
    // Create new record metadata row
    $dbw->insert( 'records', $record->toArray(), __METHOD__ );
    // Figure out where to store the data based on the new row's ID
    $path = $this->recordDirectory . '/' . $dbw->insertId();
    // Write the record data to the storage system;
    // blob store throughs StoreFailureException on failure
    $this->blobStore->create( $path, $record->getJSON() );
    // Try to cleanup files orphaned by transaction rollback
    $dbw->onTransactionResolution(
        function ( $type ) use ( $path ) {
            if ( $type === IDatabase::TRIGGER_ROLLBACK ) {
                $this->blobStore->delete( $path );
            }
        },
        __METHOD__
     );
}, $dbw::ATOMIC_CANCELABLE );

Example usage, caller of the "RecordStore::save" method:

$dbw->startAtomic( __METHOD__ );
// ...various SQL writes happen...
try {
    $recordStore->save( $record );
} catch ( StoreFailureException $e ) {
    // ...various SQL writes happen...
}
// ...various SQL writes happen...
$dbw->endAtomic( __METHOD__ );

Parameters

string	$fname	Caller name (usually METHOD)
callable	$callback	Callback that issues DB updates
string	$cancelable	Pass self::ATOMIC_CANCELABLE to use a savepoint and enable self::cancelAtomic() for this section.

Returns: mixed $res Result of the callback (since 1.28)

Exceptions

DBError	If an error occurs, see IDatabase::query()
Exception	If an error occurs in the callback

Since: 1.27; prior to 1.31 this did a rollback() instead of cancelAtomic(), and assumed no callers up the stack would ever try to catch the exception.

		$var = `' *'`,
		$conds = `''`,
		$fname = `__METHOD__`,
		$options = `[]`,
		$join_conds = `[]`
	)

Estimate the number of rows in dataset.

MySQL allows you to estimate the number of rows that would be returned by a SELECT query, using EXPLAIN SELECT. The estimate is provided using index cardinality statistics, and is notoriously inaccurate, especially when large numbers of rows have recently been added or deleted.

For DBMSs that don't support fast result size estimation, this function will actually perform the SELECT COUNT(*).

Takes the same arguments as IDatabase::select().

Parameters

string	$table	Table name
string	$var	Column for which NULL values are not counted [default "*"]
array \| string	$conds	Filters on the table
string	$fname	Function name for profiling
array	$options	Options for select
array \| string	$join_conds	Join conditions

Returns: int Row count

◆ flushSnapshot()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::flushSnapshot	(	$fname = `__METHOD__`,
		$flush = `self::FLUSHING_ONE`
	)

Commit any transaction but error out if writes or callbacks are pending.

This is intended for clearing out REPEATABLE-READ snapshots so that callers can see a new point-in-time of the database. This is useful when one of many transaction rounds finished and significant time will pass in the script's lifetime. It is also useful to call on a replica DB after waiting on replication to catch up to the master.

Parameters

string	$fname	Calling function name
string	$flush	Flush flag, set to situationally valid IDatabase::FLUSHING_* constant to disable warnings about explicitly committing implicit transactions, or calling commit when no transaction is in progress. This will trigger an exception if there is an ongoing explicit transaction. Only set the flush flag if you are sure that these warnings are not applicable, and no explicit transactions are open.

Exceptions

◆ getScopedLockAndFlush()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::getScopedLockAndFlush	(	$lockKey,
		$fname,
		$timeout
	)

Acquire a named lock, flush any transaction, and return an RAII style unlocker object.

Only call this from outer transcation scope and when only one DB will be affected. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Database_transactions for details.

This is suitiable for transactions that need to be serialized using cooperative locks, where each transaction can see each others' changes. Any transaction is flushed to clear out stale REPEATABLE-READ snapshot data. Once the returned object falls out of PHP scope, the lock will be released unless a transaction is active. If one is active, then the lock will be released when it either commits or rolls back.

If the lock acquisition failed, then no transaction flush happens, and null is returned.

Parameters

string	$lockKey	Name of lock to release
string	$fname	Name of the calling method
int	$timeout	Acquisition timeout in seconds

Returns: ScopedCallback|null

Exceptions

DBError If an error occurs, see IDatabase::query()

◆ getSessionLagStatus()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::getSessionLagStatus ( )

Get the replica DB lag when the current transaction started or a general lag estimate if not transaction is active.

This is useful when transactions might use snapshot isolation (e.g. REPEATABLE-READ in innodb), so the "real" lag of that data is this lag plus transaction duration. If they don't, it is still safe to be pessimistic. In AUTOCOMMIT mode, this still gives an indication of the staleness of subsequent reads.

Returns: array ('lag': seconds or false on error, 'since': UNIX timestamp of BEGIN)

◆ insert()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::insert	(	$table,
		$a,
		$fname = `__METHOD__`,
		$options = `[]`
	)

INSERT wrapper, inserts an array into a table.

$a may be either:

A single associative array. The array keys are the field names, and the values are the values to insert. The values are treated as data and will be quoted appropriately. If NULL is inserted, this will be converted to a database NULL.
An array with numeric keys, holding a list of associative arrays. This causes a multi-row INSERT on DBMSs that support it. The keys in each subarray must be identical to each other, and in the same order.

$options is an array of options, with boolean options encoded as values with numeric keys, in the same style as $options in IDatabase::select(). Supported options are:

IGNORE: Boolean: if present, duplicate key errors are ignored, and any rows which cause duplicate key errors are not inserted. It's possible to determine how many rows were successfully inserted using IDatabase::affectedRows().

Parameters

string	$table	Table name. This will be passed through Database::tableName().
array	$a	Array of rows to insert
string	$fname	Calling function name (use METHOD) for logs/profiling
array	$options	Array of options

string \| array	$srcTable	May be either a table name, or an array of table names to include in a join.
array	$varMap	Must be an associative array of the form [ 'dest1' => 'source1', ... ]. Source items may be literals rather than field names, but strings should be quoted with IDatabase::addQuotes()
array	$conds	Condition array. See $conds in IDatabase::select() for the details of the format of condition arrays. May be "*" to copy the whole table.
string	$fname	The function name of the caller, from METHOD
array	$insertOptions	Options for the INSERT part of the query, see IDatabase::insert() for details. Also, one additional option is available: pass 'NO_AUTO_COLUMNS' to hint that the query does not use an auto-increment or sequence to determine any column values.

◆ lastQuery()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::lastQuery ( )

Get the last query that sent on account of IDatabase::query()

Returns: string SQL text or empty string if there was no such query

◆ limitResult()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::limitResult	(	$sql,
		$limit,
		$offset = `false`
	)

Construct a LIMIT query with optional offset.

The SQL should be adjusted so that only the first $limit rows are returned. If $offset is provided as well, then the first $offset rows should be discarded, and the next $limit rows should be returned. If the result of the query is not ordered, then the rows to be returned are theoretically arbitrary.

$sql is expected to be a SELECT, if that makes a difference.

Parameters

string	$sql	SQL query we will append the limit too
int	$limit	The SQL limit
int \| bool	$offset	The SQL offset (default false)

Returns: string

◆ makeList()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::makeList	(	$a,
		$mode = `self::LIST_COMMA`
	)

Makes an encoded list of strings from an array.

These can be used to make conjunctions or disjunctions on SQL condition strings derived from an array (see IDatabase::select() $conds documentation).

Example usage:

$sql = $db->makeList( [
    'rev_page' => $id,
    $db->makeList( [ 'rev_minor' => 1, 'rev_len' < 500 ], $db::LIST_OR ] )
], $db::LIST_AND );

This would set $sql to "rev_page = '$id' AND (rev_minor = '1' OR rev_len < '500')"

Parameters

array	$a	Containing the data
int	$mode	IDatabase class constant: IDatabase::LIST_COMMA: Comma separated, no field names IDatabase::LIST_AND: ANDed WHERE clause (without the WHERE). IDatabase::LIST_OR: ORed WHERE clause (without the WHERE) IDatabase::LIST_SET: Comma separated with field names, like a SET clause IDatabase::LIST_NAMES: Comma separated field names

Parameters

array	$data	Organized as 2-d [ baseKeyVal => [ subKeyVal => [ignored], ... ], ... ]
string	$baseKey	Field name to match the base-level keys to (eg 'pl_namespace')
string	$subKey	Field name to match the sub-level keys to (eg 'pl_title')

Returns: string|bool SQL fragment, or false if no items in array

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ masterPosWait()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::masterPosWait	(	DBMasterPos	$pos,
			$timeout
	)

Wait for the replica DB to catch up to a given master position.

Note that this does not start any new transactions. If any existing transaction is flushed, and this is called, then queries will reflect the point the DB was synced up to (on success) without interference from REPEATABLE-READ snapshots.

Parameters

DBMasterPos	$pos
int	$timeout	The maximum number of seconds to wait for synchronisation

Returns: int|null Zero if the replica DB was past that position already, greater than zero if we waited for some period of time, less than zero if it timed out, and null on error

◆ nextSequenceValue()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::nextSequenceValue ( $seqName )

Deprecated method, calls should be removed.

This was formerly used for PostgreSQL to handle self::insertId() auto-incrementing fields. It is no longer necessary since DatabasePostgres::insertId() has been reimplemented using lastval()

Implementations should return null if inserting NULL into an auto-incrementing field works, otherwise it should return an instance of NextSequenceValue and filter it on calls to relevant methods.

Deprecated:: since 1.30, no longer needed

Parameters

string $seqName

Returns: null|NextSequenceValue

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabasePostgres, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ numFields()

◆ onAtomicSectionCancel()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::onAtomicSectionCancel	(	callable	$callback,
			$fname = `__METHOD__`
	)

Run a callback when the atomic section is cancelled.

The callback is run just after the current atomic section, any outer atomic section, or the whole transaction is rolled back.

An error is thrown if no atomic section is pending. The atomic section need not have been created with the ATOMIC_CANCELABLE flag.

Queries in the function may be running in the context of an outer transaction or may be running in AUTOCOMMIT mode. The callback should use atomic sections if necessary.

Note: do not assume that other IDatabase instances will be AUTOCOMMIT mode

The callback takes the following arguments:

IDatabase::TRIGGER_CANCEL or IDatabase::TRIGGER_ROLLBACK
This IDatabase instance

Parameters

callable	$callback
string	$fname	Caller name

Since: 1.34

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

Referenced by MediaWiki\Storage\NameTableStore\retryStore().

◆ onTransactionCommitOrIdle()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::onTransactionCommitOrIdle	(	callable	$callback,
			$fname = `__METHOD__`
	)

Run a callback as soon as there is no transaction pending.

If there is a transaction and it is rolled back, then the callback is cancelled.

When transaction round mode (DBO_TRX) is set, the callback will run at the end of the round, just after all peer transactions COMMIT. If the transaction round is rolled back, then the callback is cancelled.

Queries in the function will run in AUTOCOMMIT mode unless there are begin() calls. Callbacks must commit any transactions that they begin.

This is useful for updates to different systems or when separate transactions are needed. For example, one might want to enqueue jobs into a system outside the database, but only after the database is updated so that the jobs will see the data when they actually run. It can also be used for updates that easily suffer from lock timeouts and deadlocks, but where atomicity is not essential.

Avoid using IDatabase instances aside from this one in the callback, unless such instances never have IDatabase::DBO_TRX set. This keeps callbacks from interfering with one another.

Updates will execute in the order they were enqueued.

Note: do not assume that other IDatabase instances will be AUTOCOMMIT mode

The callback takes the following arguments:

How the transaction ended (IDatabase::TRIGGER_COMMIT or IDatabase::TRIGGER_IDLE)
This IDatabase instance (since 1.32)

Parameters

callable	$callback
string	$fname	Caller name

Exceptions

DBError	If an error occurs, see IDatabase::query()
Exception	If the callback runs immediately and an error occurs in it

Since: 1.32

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ onTransactionIdle()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::onTransactionIdle	(	callable	$callback,
			$fname = `__METHOD__`
	)

Alias for onTransactionCommitOrIdle() for backwards-compatibility.

Parameters

callable	$callback
string	$fname

Since: 1.20

Deprecated:: Since 1.32

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ onTransactionPreCommitOrIdle()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::onTransactionPreCommitOrIdle	(	callable	$callback,
			$fname = `__METHOD__`
	)

Run a callback before the current transaction commits or now if there is none.

If there is a transaction and it is rolled back, then the callback is cancelled.

When transaction round mode (DBO_TRX) is set, the callback will run at the end of the round, just before all peer transactions COMMIT. If the transaction round is rolled back, then the callback is cancelled.

Callbacks must not start nor commit any transactions. If no transaction is active, then a transaction will wrap the callback.

This is useful for updates that easily suffer from lock timeouts and deadlocks, but where atomicity is strongly desired for these updates and some related updates.

Updates will execute in the order they were enqueued.

The callback takes the one argument:

This IDatabase instance (since 1.32)

Parameters

callable	$callback
string	$fname	Caller name

Exceptions

DBError	If an error occurs, see IDatabase::query()
Exception	If the callback runs immediately and an error occurs in it

Since: 1.22

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ onTransactionResolution()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::onTransactionResolution	(	callable	$callback,
			$fname = `__METHOD__`
	)

Run a callback as soon as the current transaction commits or rolls back.

An error is thrown if no transaction is pending. Queries in the function will run in AUTOCOMMIT mode unless there are begin() calls. Callbacks must commit any transactions that they begin.

This is useful for combining cooperative locks and DB transactions.

Note this is called when the whole transaction is resolved. To take action immediately when an atomic section is cancelled, use onAtomicSectionCancel().

Note: do not assume that other IDatabase instances will be AUTOCOMMIT mode

The callback takes the following arguments:

How the transaction ended (IDatabase::TRIGGER_COMMIT or IDatabase::TRIGGER_ROLLBACK)
This IDatabase instance (since 1.32)

Parameters

callable	$callback
string	$fname	Caller name

Exceptions

DBError	If an error occurs, see IDatabase::query()
Exception	If the callback runs immediately and an error occurs in it

◆ query()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::query	(	$sql,
		$fname = `__METHOD__`,
		$flags = `0`
	)

Run an SQL query and return the result.

If a connection loss is detected, then an attempt to reconnect will be made. For queries that involve no larger transactions or locks, they will be re-issued for convenience, provided the connection was re-established.

In new code, the query wrappers select(), insert(), update(), delete(), etc. should be used where possible, since they give much better DBMS independence and automatically quote or validate user input in a variety of contexts. This function is generally only useful for queries which are explicitly DBMS-dependent and are unsupported by the query wrappers, such as CREATE TABLE.

However, the query wrappers themselves should call this function.

Parameters

string	$sql	SQL query
string	$fname	Name of the calling function, for profiling/SHOW PROCESSLIST comment (you can use METHOD or add some extra info)
int	$flags	Bitfield of IDatabase::QUERY_* constants. Note that suppression of errors is best handled by try/catch rather than using one of these flags.

Returns: bool|IResultWrapper True for a successful write query, IResultWrapper object for a successful read query, or false on failure if QUERY_SILENCE_ERRORS is set.

Exceptions

DBQueryError	If the query is issued, fails, and QUERY_SILENCE_ERRORS is not set.
DBExpectedError	If the query is not, and cannot, be issued yet (non-DBQueryError)
DBError	If the query is inherently not allowed (non-DBExpectedError)

◆ replace()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::replace	(	$table,
		$uniqueIndexes,
		$rows,
		$fname = `__METHOD__`
	)

REPLACE query wrapper.

REPLACE is a very handy MySQL extension, which functions like an INSERT except that when there is a duplicate key error, the old row is deleted and the new row is inserted in its place.

We simulate this with standard SQL with a DELETE followed by INSERT. To perform the delete, we need to know what the unique indexes are so that we know how to find the conflicting rows.

It may be more efficient to leave off unique indexes which are unlikely to collide. However if you do this, you run the risk of encountering errors which wouldn't have occurred in MySQL.

Parameters

string	$table	The table to replace the row(s) in.
array[] \| string[] \| string	$uniqueIndexes	All unique indexes. One of the following: a) the one unique field in the table (when no composite unique key exist) b) a list of all unique fields in the table (when no composite unique key exist) c) a list of all unique indexes in the table (each as a list of the indexed fields)
array	$rows	Can be either a single row to insert, or multiple rows, in the same format as for IDatabase::insert()
string	$fname	Calling function name (use METHOD) for logs/profiling

Exceptions

DBError If an error occurs, see IDatabase::query()

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseMysqlBase, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseSqlite, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ restoreFlags()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::restoreFlags ( $state = self::RESTORE_PRIOR )

Restore the flags to their prior state before the last setFlag/clearFlag call.

Parameters

string $state IDatabase::RESTORE_* constant. [default: RESTORE_PRIOR]

Since: 1.28

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ rollback()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::rollback	(	$fname = `__METHOD__`,
		$flush = `self::FLUSHING_ONE`
	)

Rollback a transaction previously started using begin()

Only call this from code with outer transcation scope. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Database_transactions for details. Nesting of transactions is not supported. If a serious unexpected error occurs, throwing an Exception is preferrable, using a pre-installed error handler to trigger rollback (in any case, failure to issue COMMIT will cause rollback server-side).

Query, connection, and onTransaction* callback errors will be suppressed and logged.

Parameters

string	$fname	Calling function name
string	$flush	Flush flag, set to a situationally valid IDatabase::FLUSHING_* constant to disable warnings about calling rollback when no transaction is in progress. This will silently break any ongoing explicit transaction. Only set the flush flag if you are sure that it is safe to ignore these warnings in your context.

Exceptions

DBError If an error occurs, see IDatabase::query()

Since: 1.23 Added $flush parameter

◆ select()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::select	(	$table,
		$vars,
		$conds = `''`,
		$fname = `__METHOD__`,
		$options = `[]`,
		$join_conds = `[]`
	)

Execute a SELECT query constructed using the various parameters provided.

Parameters

string | array $table Table name(s)

May be either an array of table names, or a single string holding a table name. If an array is given, table aliases can be specified, for example:

[ 'a' => 'user' ]

This includes the user table in the query, with the alias "a" available for use in field names (e.g. a.user_name).

A derived table, defined by the result of selectSQLText(), requires an alias key and a Subquery instance value which wraps the SQL query, for example:

[ 'c' => new Subquery( 'SELECT ...' ) ]

Joins using parentheses for grouping (since MediaWiki 1.31) may be constructed using nested arrays. For example,

[ 'tableA', 'nestedB' => [ 'tableB', 'b2' => 'tableB2' ] ]

along with $join_conds like

[ 'b2' => [ 'JOIN', 'b_id = b2_id' ], 'nestedB' => [ 'LEFT JOIN', 'b_a = a_id' ] ]

will produce SQL something like

FROM tableA LEFT JOIN (tableB JOIN tableB2 AS b2 ON (b_id = b2_id)) ON (b_a = a_id)

All of the table names given here are automatically run through Database::tableName(), which causes the table prefix (if any) to be added, and various other table name mappings to be performed.

Do not use untrusted user input as a table name. Alias names should not have characters outside of the Basic multilingual plane.

Parameters

string | array $vars Field name(s)

May be either a field name or an array of field names. The field names can be complete fragments of SQL, for direct inclusion into the SELECT query. If an array is given, field aliases can be specified, for example:

[ 'maxrev' => 'MAX(rev_id)' ]

This includes an expression with the alias "maxrev" in the query.

If an expression is given, care must be taken to ensure that it is DBMS-independent.

Untrusted user input must not be passed to this parameter.

Parameters

string | array $conds

May be either a string containing a single condition, or an array of conditions. If an array is given, the conditions constructed from each element are combined with AND.

Array elements may take one of two forms:

Elements with a numeric key are interpreted as raw SQL fragments.
Elements with a string key are interpreted as equality conditions, where the key is the field name.
- If the value of such an array element is a scalar (such as a string), it will be treated as data and thus quoted appropriately. If it is null, an IS NULL clause will be added.
- If the value is an array, an IN (...) clause will be constructed from its non-null elements, and an IS NULL clause will be added if null is present, such that the field may match any of the elements in the array. The non-null elements will be quoted.

Note that expressions are often DBMS-dependent in their syntax. DBMS-independent wrappers are provided for constructing several types of expression commonly used in condition queries. See:

IDatabase::buildLike()
IDatabase::conditional()

Untrusted user input is safe in the values of string keys, however untrusted input must not be used in the array key names or in the values of numeric keys. Escaping of untrusted input used in values of numeric keys should be done via IDatabase::addQuotes()

Use an empty array, string, or '*' to update all rows.

Parameters

string	$fname	Caller function name
string \| array	$options	Query options

Optional: Array of query options. Boolean options are specified by including them in the array as a string value with a numeric key, for example:

[ 'FOR UPDATE' ]

The supported options are:

OFFSET: Skip this many rows at the start of the result set. OFFSET with LIMIT can theoretically be used for paging through a result set, but this is discouraged for performance reasons.
LIMIT: Integer: return at most this many rows. The rows are sorted and then the first rows are taken until the limit is reached. LIMIT is applied to a result set after OFFSET.
LOCK IN SHARE MODE: Boolean: lock the returned rows so that they can't be changed until the next COMMIT. Cannot be used with aggregate functions (COUNT, MAX, etc., but also DISTINCT).
FOR UPDATE: Boolean: lock the returned rows so that they can't be changed nor read with LOCK IN SHARE MODE until the next COMMIT. Cannot be used with aggregate functions (COUNT, MAX, etc., but also DISTINCT).
DISTINCT: Boolean: return only unique result rows.
GROUP BY: May be either an SQL fragment string naming a field or expression to group by, or an array of such SQL fragments.
HAVING: May be either an string containing a HAVING clause or an array of conditions building the HAVING clause. If an array is given, the conditions constructed from each element are combined with AND.
ORDER BY: May be either an SQL fragment giving a field name or expression to order by, or an array of such SQL fragments.
USE INDEX: This may be either a string giving the index name to use for the query, or an array. If it is an associative array, each key gives the table name (or alias), each value gives the index name to use for that table. All strings are SQL fragments and so should be validated by the caller.
EXPLAIN: In MySQL, this causes an EXPLAIN SELECT query to be run, instead of SELECT.

And also the following boolean MySQL extensions, see the MySQL manual for documentation:

STRAIGHT_JOIN
SQL_BIG_RESULT
SQL_BUFFER_RESULT
SQL_SMALL_RESULT
SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS

Parameters

string | array $join_conds Join conditions

Optional associative array of table-specific join conditions. In the most common case, this is unnecessary, since the join condition can be in $conds. However, it is useful for doing a LEFT JOIN.

The key of the array contains the table name or alias. The value is an array with two elements, numbered 0 and 1. The first gives the type of join, the second is the same as the $conds parameter. Thus it can be an SQL fragment, or an array where the string keys are equality and the numeric keys are SQL fragments all AND'd together. For example:

[ 'page' => [ 'LEFT JOIN', 'page_latest=rev_id' ] ]

Returns: IResultWrapper Resulting rows

◆ setIndexAliases()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::setIndexAliases ( array $aliases )

Convert certain index names to alternative names before querying the DB.

Note that this applies to indexes regardless of the table they belong to.

This can be employed when an index was renamed X => Y in code, but the new Y-named indexes were not yet built on all DBs. After all the Y-named ones are added by the DBA, the aliases can be removed, and then the old X-named indexes dropped.

Parameters

string[] $aliases

◆ setSessionOptions()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::setSessionOptions ( array $options )

Override database's default behavior.

$options include: 'connTimeout' : Set the connection timeout value in seconds. May be useful for very long batch queries such as full-wiki dumps, where a single query reads out over hours or days.

Parameters

◆ setTableAliases()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::setTableAliases ( array $aliases )

Make certain table names use their own database, schema, and table prefix when passed into SQL queries pre-escaped and without a qualified database name.

For example, "user" can be converted to "myschema.mydbname.user" for convenience. Appearances like user, somedb.user, somedb.someschema.user will used literally.

Calling this twice will completely clear any old table aliases. Also, note that callers are responsible for making sure the schemas and databases actually exist.

Parameters

array[] $aliases Map of (table => (dbname, schema, prefix) map)

Since: 1.28

Implemented in Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database, Wikimedia\Rdbms\DatabaseSqlite, and Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBConnRef.

◆ setTransactionListener()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::setTransactionListener	(		$name,
		callable	$callback = `null`
	)

Run a callback after each time any transaction commits or rolls back.

The callback takes two arguments:

IDatabase::TRIGGER_COMMIT or IDatabase::TRIGGER_ROLLBACK
This IDatabase object Callbacks must commit any transactions that they begin.

Registering a callback here will not affect writesOrCallbacks() pending.

Since callbacks from this or onTransactionCommitOrIdle() can start and end transactions, a single call to IDatabase::commit might trigger multiple runs of the listener callbacks.

Parameters

string	$name	Callback name
callable \| null	$callback	Use null to unset a listener

◆ startAtomic()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::startAtomic	(	$fname = `__METHOD__`,
		$cancelable = `self::ATOMIC_NOT_CANCELABLE`
	)

Begin an atomic section of SQL statements.

Start an implicit transaction if no transaction is already active, set a savepoint (if $cancelable is ATOMIC_CANCELABLE), and track the given section name to enforce that the transaction is not committed prematurely. The end of the section must be signified exactly once, either by endAtomic() or cancelAtomic(). Sections can have have layers of inner sections (sub-sections), but all sections must be ended in order of innermost to outermost. Transactions cannot be started or committed until all atomic sections are closed.

ATOMIC_CANCELABLE is useful when the caller needs to handle specific failure cases by discarding the section's writes. This should not be used for failures when:

upsert() could easily be used instead
insert() with IGNORE could easily be used instead
select() with FOR UPDATE could be checked before issuing writes instead
The failure is from code that runs after the first write but doesn't need to
The failures are from contention solvable via onTransactionPreCommitOrIdle()
The failures are deadlocks; the RDBMs usually discard the whole transaction

Note: callers must use additional measures for situations involving two or more (peer) transactions (e.g. updating two database servers at once). The transaction and savepoint logic of this method only applies to this specific IDatabase instance.

Example usage:

// Start a transaction if there isn't one already
$dbw->startAtomic( __METHOD__ );
// Serialize these thread table updates
$dbw->select( 'thread', '1', [ 'td_id' => $tid ], __METHOD__, 'FOR UPDATE' );
// Add a new comment for the thread
$dbw->insert( 'comment', $row, __METHOD__ );
$cid = $db->insertId();
// Update thread reference to last comment
$dbw->update( 'thread', [ 'td_latest' => $cid ], [ 'td_id' => $tid ], __METHOD__ );
// Demark the end of this conceptual unit of updates
$dbw->endAtomic( __METHOD__ );

Example usage (atomic changes that might have to be discarded):

// Start a transaction if there isn't one already
$sectionId = $dbw->startAtomic( __METHOD__, $dbw::ATOMIC_CANCELABLE );
// Create new record metadata row
$dbw->insert( 'records', $row, __METHOD__ );
// Figure out where to store the data based on the new row's ID
$path = $recordDirectory . '/' . $dbw->insertId();
// Write the record data to the storage system
$status = $fileBackend->create( [ 'dst' => $path, 'content' => $data ] );
if ( $status->isOK() ) {
    // Try to cleanup files orphaned by transaction rollback
    $dbw->onTransactionResolution(
        function ( $type ) use ( $fileBackend, $path ) {
            if ( $type === IDatabase::TRIGGER_ROLLBACK ) {
                $fileBackend->delete( [ 'src' => $path ] );
            }
        },
        __METHOD__
    );
    // Demark the end of this conceptual unit of updates
    $dbw->endAtomic( __METHOD__ );
} else {
    // Discard these writes from the transaction (preserving prior writes)
    $dbw->cancelAtomic( __METHOD__, $sectionId );
}

◆ update()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::update	(	$table,
		$values,
		$conds,
		$fname = `__METHOD__`,
		$options = `[]`
	)

UPDATE wrapper.

Takes a condition array and a SET array.

Parameters

string	$table	Name of the table to UPDATE. This will be passed through Database::tableName().
array	$values	An array of values to SET. For each array element, the key gives the field name, and the value gives the data to set that field to. The data will be quoted by IDatabase::addQuotes(). Values with integer keys form unquoted SET statements, which can be used for things like "field = field + 1" or similar computed values.
array \| string	$conds	An array of conditions (WHERE). See IDatabase::select() for the details of the format of condition arrays. Use '*' to update all rows.
string	$fname	The function name of the caller (from METHOD), for logging and profiling.

◆ upsert()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::upsert	(		$table,
		array	$rows,
			$uniqueIndexes,
		array	$set,
			$fname = `__METHOD__`
	)

INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE wrapper, upserts an array into a table.

This updates any conflicting rows (according to the unique indexes) using the provided SET clause and inserts any remaining (non-conflicted) rows.

$rows may be either:

A single associative array. The array keys are the field names, and the values are the values to insert. The values are treated as data and will be quoted appropriately. If NULL is inserted, this will be converted to a database NULL.
An array with numeric keys, holding a list of associative arrays. This causes a multi-row INSERT on DBMSs that support it. The keys in each subarray must be identical to each other, and in the same order.

It may be more efficient to leave off unique indexes which are unlikely to collide. However if you do this, you run the risk of encountering errors which wouldn't have occurred in MySQL.

Parameters

string	$table	Table name. This will be passed through Database::tableName().
array	$rows	A single row or list of rows to insert
array[] \| string[] \| string	$uniqueIndexes	All unique indexes. One of the following: a) the one unique field in the table (when no composite unique key exist) b) a list of all unique fields in the table (when no composite unique key exist) c) a list of all unique indexes in the table (each as a list of the indexed fields)
array	$set	An array of values to SET. For each array element, the key gives the field name, and the value gives the data to set that field to. The data will be quoted by IDatabase::addQuotes(). Values with integer keys form unquoted SET statements, which can be used for things like "field = field + 1" or similar computed values.
string	$fname	Calling function name (use METHOD) for logs/profiling
