class ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::AbstractAdapter

Parent:: Object
Included modules:: ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Quoting, ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::DatabaseStatements, ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::SchemaStatements, ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::DatabaseLimits, ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::QueryCache, ActiveSupport::Callbacks, ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::ColumnDumper

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

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 296
def active?
end

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.

adapter_name() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 180
def adapter_name
  self.class::ADAPTER_NAME
end

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

end

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

prefetch_primary_key?(table_name = nil) Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 213
def prefetch_primary_key?(table_name = nil)
  false
end

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.

raw_connection() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 349
def raw_connection
  @connection
end

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.

reconnect!() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 302
def reconnect!
  clear_cache!
  reset_transaction
end

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.

reset!() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 320
def reset!
  # this should be overridden by concrete adapters
end

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