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 SchemaStatements are very useful.

Public Instance Methods

active?() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 379
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 222
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.

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

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 444
def case_insensitive_comparison(table, attribute, column, value)

  else
    table[attribute].eq(Arel::Nodes::BindParam.new)
  end
end

clear_cache!() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 410
def clear_cache!
  # this should be overridden by concrete adapters
end

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

close() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 458
def close
  pool.checkin self
end

Check the connection back in to the connection pool

collector() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 144
def collector
  if prepared_statements
    SQLString.new
  else
    BindCollector.new
  end
end

disable_extension(name) Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 336

end

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

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

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 370
def disable_referential_integrity
  yield
end

Override to turn off referential integrity while executing &block.

disconnect!() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 392
def disconnect!
  clear_cache!
  reset_transaction
end

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

enable_extension(name) Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 340
def enable_extension(name)
end

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

expire() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 186
def expire
  if in_use?
    if @owner != Thread.current
      raise ActiveRecordError, "Cannot expire connection, " <<
        "it is owned by a different thread: #{@owner}. " <<
        "Current thread: #{Thread.current}."
    end

    @owner = nil
  else
    raise ActiveRecordError, 'Cannot expire connection, it is not currently leased.'
  end
end

this method must only be called while holding connection pool's mutex

extensions() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 358
def extensions
  []
end

A list of extensions, to be filled in by adapters that support them.

index_algorithms() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 363
def index_algorithms
  {}
end

A list of index algorithms, to be filled by adapters that support them.

lease() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 165
def lease
  if in_use?
    msg = 'Cannot lease connection, '
    if @owner == Thread.current
      msg << 'it is already leased by the current thread.'
    else
      msg << "it is already in use by a different thread: #{@owner}. " <<
             "Current thread: #{Thread.current}."
    end
    raise ActiveRecordError, msg
  end

  @owner = Thread.current
end

this method must only be called while holding connection pool's mutex

prefetch_primary_key?(table_name = nil) Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 260
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 432
def raw_connection
  @connection
end

Provides access to the underlying database driver for this adapter. For example, this method returns a Mysql2::Client object in case of Mysql2Adapter, and a PG::Connection 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 385
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.

requires_reloading?() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 415
def requires_reloading?
  false
end

Returns true if its required to reload the connection between requests for development mode.

reset!() Show source

# File activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb, line 403
def reset!
  # this should be overridden by concrete adapters
end

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.
