=head2 Transactions
As of version 0.04001, there is improved transaction support in
-L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI>. Here is an example of the recommended
-way to use it:
+L<DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI> and L<DBIx::Class::Schema>. Here is an
+example of the recommended way to use it:
- my $genus = Genus->find(12);
- eval {
- MyDB->txn_begin;
+ my $genus = $schema->resultset('Genus')->find(12);
+
+ my $coderef1 = sub {
+ my ($schema, $genus, $code) = @_;
$genus->add_to_species({ name => 'troglodyte' });
$genus->wings(2);
$genus->update;
- cromulate($genus); # Can have a nested transation
- MyDB->txn_commit;
+ $schema->txn_do($code, $genus); # Can have a nested transation
+ return $genus->species;
+ };
+
+ my $coderef2 = sub {
+ my ($genus) = @_;
+ $genus->extinct(1);
+ $genus->update;
};
- if ($@) {
- # Rollback might fail, too
- eval {
- MyDB->txn_rollback
- };
+
+ my $rs;
+ eval {
+ $rs = $schema->txn_do($coderef1, $schema, $genus, $coderef2);
+ };
+
+ if ($@) { # Transaction failed
+ die "the sky is falling!" #
+ if ($@ =~ /Rollback failed/); # Rollback failed
+
+ deal_with_failed_transaction();
}
-Currently, a nested commit will do nothing and a nested rollback will
-die. The code at each level must be sure to call rollback in the case
-of an error, to ensure that the rollback will propagate to the top
-level and be issued. Support for savepoints and for true nested
+Nested transactions will work as expected. That is, only the outermost
+transaction will actually issue a commit to the $dbh, and a rollback
+at any level of any transaction will cause the entire nested
+transaction to fail. Support for savepoints and for true nested
transactions (for databases that support them) will hopefully be added
in the future.
your main database class to make sure it disconnects cleanly:

The following example shows simplistically how you might use DBIx::Class to
deploy versioned schemas to your customers. The basic process is as follows:
-1) Create a DBIx::Class schema
-2) Save the schema
-3) Deploy to customers
-4) Modify schema to change functionality
-5) Deploy update to customers

There are several ways you could deploy your schema. These are probably
beyond the scope of this recipe, but might include:
-1) Require customer to apply manually using their RDBMS.
-2) Package along with your app, making database dump/schema update/tests

The schema update can be deployed to customers using the same method as before.
+=head2 Setting limit dialect for SQL::Abstract::Limit
+
+In some cases, SQL::Abstract::Limit cannot determine the dialect of the remote
+SQL-server by looking at the database-handle. This is a common problem when
+using the DBD::JDBC, since the DBD-driver only know that in has a Java-driver
+available, not which JDBC-driver the Java component has loaded.
+This specifically sets the limit_dialect to Microsoft SQL-server (Se more names
+in SQL::Abstract::Limit -documentation.
+
+ __PACKAGE__->storage->sql_maker->limit_dialect('mssql');
+
+The JDBC-bridge is one way of getting access to a MSSQL-server from a platform
+that Microsoft doesn't deliver native client libraries for. (e.g. Linux)
+
+=head2 Setting quotes for the generated SQL.
+
+If the database contains columnames with spaces and/or reserved words, the
+SQL-query needs to be quoted. This is done using:
+
+ __PACKAGE__->storage->sql_maker->quote_char([ qw/[ ]/] );
+ __PACKAGE__->storage->sql_maker->name_sep('.');
+
+The first sets the quotesymbols. If the quote i "symmetric" as " or '
+
+ __PACKAGE__->storage->sql_maker->quote_char('"');
+
+is enough. If the left qoute differs form the right quote, the first
+notation should be used. name_sep needs to be set to allow the
+SQL generator to put the quotes the correct place.
