end

execute(sql, name = nil) Link

Executes the SQL statement in the context of this connection and returns the raw result from the connection adapter. Note: depending on your database connector, the result returned by this method may be manually memory managed. Consider using the #exec_query wrapper instead.

Source: show | on GitHub

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/database_statements.rb, line 76
def execute(sql, name = nil)
  raise NotImplementedError
end

insert(arel, name = nil, pk = nil, id_value = nil, sequence_name = nil, binds = []) Link

Executes an INSERT query and returns the new record's ID

id_value will be returned unless the value is nil, in which case the database will attempt to calculate the last inserted id and return that value.

If the next id was calculated in advance (as in Oracle), it should be passed in as id_value.

Also aliased as: create

transaction(requires_new: nil, isolation: nil, joinable: true) Link

Runs the given block in a database transaction, and returns the result of the block.

Nested transactions support

Most databases don't support true nested transactions. At the time of writing, the only database that supports true nested transactions that we're aware of, is MS-SQL.

In order to get around this problem, transaction will emulate the effect of nested transactions, by using savepoints: dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/savepoint.html Savepoints are supported by MySQL and PostgreSQL. SQLite3 version >= '3.6.8' supports savepoints.

It is safe to call this method if a database transaction is already open, i.e. if transaction is called within another transaction block. In case of a nested call, transaction will behave as follows:

The block will be run without doing anything. All database statements that happen within the block are effectively appended to the already open database transaction.
However, if :requires_new is set, the block will be wrapped in a database savepoint acting as a sub-transaction.

Caveats

MySQL doesn't support DDL transactions. If you perform a DDL operation, then any created savepoints will be automatically released. For example, if you've created a savepoint, then you execute a CREATE TABLE statement, then the savepoint that was created will be automatically released.

This means that, on MySQL, you shouldn't execute DDL operations inside a transaction call that you know might create a savepoint. Otherwise, transaction will raise exceptions when it tries to release the already-automatically-released savepoints:

Model.connection.transaction do  # BEGIN
  Model.connection.transaction(requires_new: true) do  # CREATE SAVEPOINT active_record_1
    Model.connection.create_table(...)
    # active_record_1 now automatically released
  end  # RELEASE SAVEPOINT active_record_1  <--- BOOM! database error!
end

Transaction isolation

If your database supports setting the isolation level for a transaction, you can set it like so:

Post.transaction(isolation: :serializable) do
  # ...
end

Valid isolation levels are:

:read_uncommitted
:read_committed
:repeatable_read
:serializable

You should consult the documentation for your database to understand the semantics of these different levels:

An ActiveRecord::TransactionIsolationError will be raised if:

The adapter does not support setting the isolation level
You are joining an existing open transaction
You are creating a nested (savepoint) transaction

The mysql2 and postgresql adapters support setting the transaction isolation level.
