class ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::AbstractAdapter

Parent:: Object

Active Record supports multiple database systems. AbstractAdapter and related classes form the abstraction layer which makes this possible. An AbstractAdapter represents a connection to a database, and provides an abstract interface for database-specific functionality such as establishing a connection, escaping values, building the right SQL fragments for ':offset' and ':limit' options, etc.

All the concrete database adapters follow the interface laid down in this class. ActiveRecord::Base.connection returns an AbstractAdapter object, which you can use.

Most of the methods in the adapter are useful during migrations. Most notably, the instance methods provided by SchemaStatement are very useful.

Public Instance Methods

active?() Show source

Checks whether the connection to the database is still active. This includes checking whether the database is actually capable of responding, i.e. whether the connection isn't stale.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 262
def active?
end

active_threadsafe?() Show source

Adapter should redefine this if it needs a threadsafe way to approximate if the connection is active

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 267
def active_threadsafe?
  active?
end

adapter_name() Show source

Returns the human-readable name of the adapter. Use mixed case - one can always use downcase if needed.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 147
def adapter_name
  'Abstract'
end

case_insensitive_comparison(table, attribute, column, value) Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 343
def case_insensitive_comparison(table, attribute, column, value)
  table[attribute].lower.eq(table.lower(value))
end

case_sensitive_modifier(node) Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 339
def case_sensitive_modifier(node)
  node
end

clear_cache!() Show source

Clear any caching the database adapter may be doing, for example clearing the prepared statement cache. This is database specific.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 299
def clear_cache!
  # this should be overridden by concrete adapters
end

close() Show source

Check the connection back in to the connection pool

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 352
def close
  pool.checkin self
end

create_savepoint(name = nil) Show source

def create_savepoint(name = nil)
end

current_savepoint_name() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 347
def current_savepoint_name
  "active_record_#{open_transactions}"
end

disable_extension(name) Show source

This is meant to be implemented by the adapters that support extensions

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 223
def disable_extension(name)
end

disable_referential_integrity() { || ... } Show source

Override to turn off referential integrity while executing &block.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 253
def disable_referential_integrity
  yield
end

disconnect!() Show source

Disconnects from the database if already connected. Otherwise, this method does nothing.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 281
def disconnect!
  clear_cache!
  reset_transaction
end

enable_extension(name) Show source

This is meant to be implemented by the adapters that support extensions

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 232
def extensions
  []
end

index_algorithms() Show source

A list of index algorithms, to be filled by adapters that support them. MySQL and PostgreSQL have support for them right now.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 326
def open_transactions
  @transaction.number
end

prefetch_primary_key?(table_name = nil) Show source

Should primary key values be selected from their corresponding sequence before the insert statement? If true, next_sequence_value is called before each insert to set the record's primary key. This is false for all adapters but Firebird.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 191
def prefetch_primary_key?(table_name = nil)
  false
end

raw_connection() Show source

Provides access to the underlying database driver for this adapter. For example, this method returns a Mysql object in case of MysqlAdapter, and a PGconn object in case of PostgreSQLAdapter.

This is useful for when you need to call a proprietary method such as PostgreSQL's lo_* methods.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 322
def raw_connection
  @connection
end

reconnect!() Show source

Disconnects from the database if already connected, and establishes a new connection with the database. Implementors should call super if they override the default implementation.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 274
def reconnect!
  clear_cache!
  reset_transaction
end

release_savepoint(name = nil) Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 336
def release_savepoint(name = nil)
end

requires_reloading?() Show source

Returns true if its required to reload the connection between requests for development mode. This is not the case for Ruby/MySQL and it's not necessary for any adapters except SQLite.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 305
def requires_reloading?
  false
end

reset!() Show source

Reset the state of this connection, directing the DBMS to clear transactions and other connection-related server-side state. Usually a database-dependent operation.

The default implementation does nothing; the implementation should be overridden by concrete adapters.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 292
def reset!
  # this should be overridden by concrete adapters
end

rollback_to_savepoint(name = nil) Show source

def supports_primary_key?
  false
end

supports_savepoints?() Show source

Does this adapter support savepoints? PostgreSQL and MySQL do, SQLite < 3.6.8 does not.

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 312
def verify!(*ignored)
  reconnect! unless active?
