Member Function Documentation

deadlockLoop()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IMaintainableDatabase::deadlockLoop

(

$args

)

Perform a deadlock-prone transaction.

This function invokes a callback function to perform a set of write queries. If a deadlock occurs during the processing, the transaction will be rolled back and the callback function will be called again.

Avoid using this method outside of Job or Maintenance classes.

Usage: $dbw->deadlockLoop( callback, ... );

Extra arguments are passed through to the specified callback function. This method requires that no transactions are already active to avoid causing premature commits or exceptions.

Returns whatever the callback function returned on its successful, iteration, or false on error, for example if the retry limit was reached.

Parameters

mixed

...$args

Returns

mixed

Exceptions

DBUnexpectedError
Exception

duplicateTableStructure()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IMaintainableDatabase::duplicateTableStructure	(		$oldName,

	)

Creates a new table with structure copied from existing table.

Note that unlike most database abstraction functions, this function does not automatically append database prefix, because it works at a lower abstraction level. The table names passed to this function shall not be quoted (this function calls addIdentifierQuotes() when needed).

Parameters

string	$oldName	Name of table whose structure should be copied
string	$newName	Name of table to be created
bool	$temporary	Whether the new table should be temporary
string	$fname	Calling function name

Returns

bool True if operation was successful

lockTables()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IMaintainableDatabase::lockTables	(	array	$read,
		array	$write,
			$method
	)

Lock specific tables.

Any pending transaction should be resolved before calling this method, since: a) Doing so resets any REPEATABLE-READ snapshot of the data to a fresh one. b) Previous row and table locks from the transaction or session may be released by LOCK TABLES, which may be unsafe for the changes in such a transaction. c) The main use case of lockTables() is to avoid deadlocks and timeouts by locking entire tables in order to do long-running, batched, and lag-aware, updates. Batching and replication lag checks do not work when all the updates happen in a transaction.

Always get all relevant table locks up-front in one call, since LOCK TABLES might release any prior table locks on some RDBMes (e.g MySQL).

For compatibility, callers should check tableLocksHaveTransactionScope() before using this method. If locks are scoped specifically to transactions then caller must either:

• a) Start a new transaction and acquire table locks for the scope of that transaction, doing all row updates within that transaction. It will not be possible to update rows in batches; this might result in high replication lag.
• b) Forgo table locks entirely and avoid calling this method. Careful use of hints like LOCK IN SHARE MODE and FOR UPDATE and the use of query batching may be preferrable to using table locks with a potentially large transaction. Use of MySQL and Postges style REPEATABLE-READ (Snapshot Isolation with or without First-Committer-Rule) can also be considered for certain tasks that require a consistent view of entire tables.

If session scoped locks are not supported, then calling lockTables() will trigger startAtomic(), with unlockTables() triggering endAtomic(). This will automatically start a transaction if one is not already present and cause the locks to be released when the transaction finishes (normally during the unlockTables() call).

In any case, avoid using begin()/commit() in code that runs while such table locks are acquired, as that breaks in case when a transaction is needed. The startAtomic() and endAtomic() methods are safe, however, since they will join any existing transaction.

Parameters

array	$read	Array of tables to lock for read access
array	$write	Array of tables to lock for write access
string	$method	Name of caller

Returns

bool

tableLocksHaveTransactionScope()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IMaintainableDatabase::tableLocksHaveTransactionScope

(

)

Checks if table locks acquired by lockTables() are transaction-bound in their scope.

Transaction-bound table locks will be released when the current transaction terminates. Table locks that are not bound to a transaction are not effected by BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK and will last until either lockTables()/unlockTables() is called or the TCP connection to the database is closed.

Returns

bool

tableName()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IMaintainableDatabase::tableName	(		$name,
			$format = 'quoted'
	)

Format a table name ready for use in constructing an SQL query.

This does two important things: it quotes the table names to clean them up, and it adds a table prefix if only given a table name with no quotes.

All functions of this object which require a table name call this function themselves. Pass the canonical name to such functions. This is only needed when calling query() directly.

Note

This function does not sanitize user input. It is not safe to use this function to escape user input.

Parameters

string	$name	Database table name
string	$format	One of: quoted - Automatically pass the table name through addIdentifierQuotes() so that it can be used in a query. raw - Do not add identifier quotes to the table name

Returns

string Full database name
