DBI-connection-transaction {pool}R Documentation

DBIConnection transaction methods are not supported for Pool objects.

Description

You cannot perform SQL transaction using a Pool object directly (because that would imply keeping a connection open and not knowing when to return it back to the pool).

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'Pool'
dbBegin(conn, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'Pool'
dbCommit(conn, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'Pool'
dbRollback(conn, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'Pool'
dbWithTransaction(conn, code)

Arguments

conn, ..., code

See transactions.

Details

If you must use these methods, fetch an actual connection first with conn <- poolCheckout(pool) – then call the appropriate DBI method on conn. Since you're fetching a connection from the pool yourself, you must also remember to return it back to the pool when you're done: poolReturn(conn) (otherwise, you have a leaked connection).

For simple transactions, consider using poolWithTransaction instead, which is safer since it does not require you to fetch and release the connection yourself.

See transactions for the original documentation.
