◆ 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

IDatabase::startAtomic
Parameters
string$fname
AtomicSectionIdentifier | null$sectionIdSection ID from startAtomic(); passing this enables cancellation of unclosed nested sections [optional]

◆ close()

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

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$fnameCaller name
int | null$ownerID of the calling instance (e.g. the LBFactory ID)
Returns

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

Parameters
string$fname
string$flushFlush 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.

Returns an SQL expression for a simple conditional.

This doesn't need to be overridden unless CASE isn't supported in the RDBMS.

Parameters

◆ databasesAreIndependent()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::databasesAreIndependent ( )

Returns true if DBs are assumed to be on potentially different servers.

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 logically separate, with different database users, requiring special mechanisms like postgres_fdw to "mount" foreign DBs. This is true even among DBs on the same server. Changing the selected database via selectDomain() requires a new connection.

Returns
bool

◆ 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=IDatabase::ALL_ROWS.

DO NOT put the join condition in $conds.

Parameters
string$delTableThe table to delete from.
string$joinTableThe other table.
string$delVarThe variable to join on, in the first table.
string$joinVarThe variable to join on, in the second table.
array | string$condsCondition array of field names mapped to variables, ANDed together in the WHERE clause

◆ 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__ );

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::estimateRowCount (   $tables,
  $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 | string[]$tablesTable name(s)
string$varColumn for which NULL values are not counted [default "*"]
array | string$condsFilters on the table
string$fnameFunction name for profiling
array$optionsOptions for select

◆ 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 primary DB.

Parameters
string$fnameCalling function name
string$flushFlush 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.

◆ 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 transaction scope and when only one DB will be affected. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Database_transactions for details.

This is suitable 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$lockKeyName of lock to release
string$fnameName of the calling method
int$timeoutAcquisition timeout in seconds
Returns
ScopedCallback|null

◆ 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.

Parameters
array$aContaining the data
int$modeIDatabase 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

◆ makeWhereFrom2d()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::makeWhereFrom2d (   $data,
  $baseKey,
  $subKey 
)

Build a partial where clause from a 2-d array such as used for LinkBatch.

The keys on each level may be either integers or strings, however it's assumed that $baseKey is probably an integer-typed column (i.e. integer keys are unquoted in the SQL) and $subKey is string-typed (i.e. integer keys are quoted as strings in the SQL).

Todo:
Does this actually belong in the library? It seems overly MW-specific.
Parameters
array$dataOrganized as 2-d [ baseKeyVal => [ subKeyVal => [ignored], ... ], ... ]
string$baseKeyField name to match the base-level keys to (eg 'pl_namespace')
string$subKeyField name to match the sub-level keys to (eg 'pl_title')

◆ 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()

◆ 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

◆ onTransactionCommitOrIdle()

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

Run a callback when 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 after all peer transactions COMMIT. If the transaction round is rolled back, then the callback is cancelled.

This IDatabase instance will start off in auto-commit mode when the callback starts. The use of other IDatabase handles from the callback should be avoided unless they are known to be in auto-commit mode. Callbacks that create transactions via begin() or startAtomic() must have matching calls to commit()/endAtomic().

Use this method only for the following purposes:

  • (a) RDBMS updates, prone to lock timeouts/deadlocks, that do not require atomicity with respect to the updates in the current transaction (if any)
  • (b) Purges to lightweight cache services due to RDBMS updates
  • (c) Updates to secondary DBs/stores that must only commit once the updates in the current transaction (if any) are committed (e.g. insert user account row to DB1, then, initialize corresponding LDAP account)

The callback takes the following arguments:

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

Callbacks will execute in the order they were enqueued.

Parameters
callable$callback
string$fnameCaller name

◆ 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 after all peer transactions COMMIT. If the transaction round is rolled back, then the callback is cancelled.

If there is no current transaction, one will be created to wrap the callback. Callbacks cannot use begin()/commit() to manage transactions. The use of other IDatabase handles from the callback should be avoided.

Use this method only for the following purposes:

  • a) RDBMS updates, prone to lock timeouts/deadlocks, that require atomicity with respect to the updates in the current transaction (if any)
  • b) Purges to lightweight cache services due to RDBMS updates

The callback takes the one argument:

  • This IDatabase instance (since 1.32)

Callbacks will execute in the order they were enqueued.

◆ onTransactionResolution()

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

Run a callback when the current transaction commits or rolls back.

An error is thrown if no transaction is pending.

When transaction round mode (DBO_TRX) is set, the callback will run at the end of the round, just after all peer transactions COMMIT/ROLLBACK.

This IDatabase instance will start off in auto-commit mode when the callback starts. The use of other IDatabase handles from the callback should be avoided unless they are known to be in auto-commit mode. Callbacks that create transactions via begin() or startAtomic() must have matching calls to commit()/endAtomic().

Use this method only for the following purposes:

  • (a) Release of cooperative locks on resources
  • (b) Cancellation of in-proccess deferred tasks

The callback takes the following arguments:

  • How the current atomic section (if any) or overall transaction (otherwise) ended (IDatabase::TRIGGER_COMMIT or IDatabase::TRIGGER_ROLLBACK)
  • This IDatabase instance (since 1.32)

Callbacks will execute in the order they were enqueued.

◆ 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$sqlSQL query
string$fnameName of the calling function, for profiling/SHOW PROCESSLIST comment (you can use METHOD or add some extra info)
int$flagsBit field 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
DBQueryErrorIf the query is issued, fails, and QUERY_SILENCE_ERRORS is not set.
DBExpectedErrorIf the query is not, and cannot, be issued yet (non-DBQueryError)
DBErrorIf the query is inherently not allowed (non-DBExpectedError)

◆ replace()

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

Insert row(s) into a table, deleting all conflicting rows beforehand.

Note some important implications of the deletion semantics:

  • If the table has an AUTOINCREMENT column and $rows omit that column, then any conflicting existing rows will be replaced with newer having higher values for that column, even if nothing else changed.
  • There might be worse contention than upsert() due to the use of gap-locking. This does not apply to RDBMS types that use predicate locking nor those that just lock the whole table or databases anyway.
Parameters
string$tableThe table name
string | string[] | string[][]$uniqueKeysColumn name or non-empty list of column name lists that define all applicable unique keys on the table. There must only be one such key. Each unique key on the table is "applicable" unless either:
  • It involves an AUTOINCREMENT column for which no values are assigned in $rows
  • It involves a UUID column for which newly generated UUIDs are assigned in $rows
array | array[]$rowsRow(s) to insert, in the form of either:
  • A string-keyed map of (column name => value) defining a new row. Values are treated as literals and quoted appropriately; null is interpreted as NULL. Columns belonging to a key in $uniqueKeys must be defined here and non-null.
  • An integer-keyed list of such string-keyed maps, defining a list of new rows. The keys in each map must be identical to each other and in the same order. The rows must not collide with each other.

◆ 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 transaction 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 preferable, 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$fnameCalling function name
string$flushFlush 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.

◆ 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$tableTable 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$varsField 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 IDatabase::ALL_ROWS to select all rows.

You can put simple join conditions here, but this is strongly discouraged. Instead of

// $conds...
'rev_actor = actor_id',

use (see below for $join_conds):

// $join_conds...
'actor' => [ 'JOIN', 'rev_actor = actor_id' ],
Parameters
string$fnameCaller function name
string | array$optionsQuery 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.
  • IGNORE INDEX: This may be either be a string giving an index name to ignore 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 ignore 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_condsJoin conditions

Optional associative array of table-specific join conditions. Simple conditions can also be specified in the regular $conds, but this is strongly discouraged in favor of the more explicit syntax here.

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

◆ setLBInfo()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::setLBInfo (   $nameOrArray,
  $value = null 
)

Set the entire array or a particular key of the managing load balancer info array.

Keys matching the IDatabase::LB_* constants are also used internally by subclasses

Parameters
array | string$nameOrArrayThe new array or the name of a key to set
array | null$valueIf $nameOrArray is a string, the new key value (null to unset)

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

◆ setSchemaVars()

Wikimedia\Rdbms\IDatabase::setSchemaVars (   $vars)

Set schema variables to be used when streaming commands from SQL files or stdin.

Variables appear as SQL comments and are substituted by their corresponding values

Parameters

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

◆ 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
array$options
Returns

◆ 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[]$aliasesMap of (table => (dbname, schema, prefix) map)

◆ 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$nameCallback name
callable | null$callbackUse 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 );
}

array  $permute_conds,
  $extra_conds = '',
  $fname = __METHOD__,
  $options = [],
  $join_conds = [] 
)

◆ update()

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

Update all rows in a table that match a given condition.

Parameters
string$tableTable name
array$setCombination map/list where each string-keyed entry maps a column to a literal assigned value and each integer-keyed value is a SQL expression in the format of a column assignment within UPDATE...SET. The (column => value) entries are convenient due to automatic value quoting and conversion of null to NULL. The SQL assignment format is useful for updates like "column = column + X". All assignments have no defined execution order, so they should not depend on each other. Do not modify AUTOINCREMENT or UUID columns in assignments.
array | string$condsCondition in the format of IDatabase::select() conditions. In order to prevent possible performance or replication issues or damaging a data accidentally, an empty condition for 'update' queries isn't allowed. IDatabase::ALL_ROWS should be passed explicitely in order to update all rows.
string$fnameCalling function name (use METHOD) for logs/profiling
string | array$optionsCombination map/list where each string-keyed entry maps a non-boolean option to the option parameters and each integer-keyed value is the name of a boolean option. Supported options are:
  • IGNORE: Boolean: skip update of rows that would cause unique key conflicts. IDatabase::affectedRows() can be used to determine how many rows were updated.
Returns
bool Return true if no exception was thrown (deprecated since 1.33)

◆ upsert()

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

Upsert the given row(s) into a table.

This updates any existing rows that conflict with the provided rows and inserts any of the provided rows that do not conflict with existing rows. Conflicts are determined by the provided unique indexes.

Parameters
string$tableTable name
array | array[]$rowsRow(s) to insert, in the form of either:
  • A string-keyed map of (column name => value) defining a new row. Values are treated as literals and quoted appropriately; null is interpreted as NULL. Columns belonging to a key in $uniqueKeys must be defined here and non-null.
  • An integer-keyed list of such string-keyed maps, defining a list of new rows. The keys in each map must be identical to each other and in the same order. The rows must not collide with each other.
string | string[] | string[][]$uniqueKeysColumn name or non-empty list of column name lists that define all applicable unique keys on the table. There must only be one such key. Each unique key on the table is "applicable" unless either:
  • It involves an AUTOINCREMENT column for which no values are assigned in $rows
  • It involves a UUID column for which newly generated UUIDs are assigned in $rows Passing string[] to $uniqueKeys is deprecated.
array$setCombination map/list where each string-keyed entry maps a column to a literal assigned value and each integer-keyed value is a SQL assignment expression of the form "<unquoted alphanumeric column> = <SQL expression>". The (column => value) entries are convenient due to automatic value quoting and conversion of null to NULL. The SQL assignment entries are useful for updates like "column = column + X". All of the assignments have no defined execution order, so callers should make sure that they not depend on each other. Do not modify AUTOINCREMENT or UUID columns in assignments, even if they are just "secondary" unique keys.
