A connection to a database

Required methods

Establishes a new connection to the database

The argument to this method varies by backend. See the documentation for that backend’s connection class for details about what it accepts.

Provided methods

Executes the given function inside of a database transaction

If there is already an open transaction, savepoints will be used instead.

If the transaction fails to commit due to a SerializationFailure, a rollback will be attempted. If the rollback succeeds, the original error will be returned, otherwise the error generated by the rollback will be returned. In the second case the connection should be considered broken as it contains a uncommitted unabortable open transaction.

Example
use diesel::result::Error;

conn.transaction::<_, Error, _>(|| {
    diesel::insert_into(users)
        .values(name.eq("Ruby"))
        .execute(&conn)?;

    let all_names = users.select(name).load::<String>(&conn)?;
    assert_eq!(vec!["Sean", "Tess", "Ruby"], all_names);

    Ok(())
})?;

conn.transaction::<(), _, _>(|| {
    diesel::insert_into(users)
        .values(name.eq("Pascal"))
        .execute(&conn)?;

    let all_names = users.select(name).load::<String>(&conn)?;
    assert_eq!(vec!["Sean", "Tess", "Ruby", "Pascal"], all_names);

    // If we want to roll back the transaction, but don't have an
    // actual error to return, we can return `RollbackTransaction`.
    Err(Error::RollbackTransaction)
});

let all_names = users.select(name).load::<String>(&conn)?;
assert_eq!(vec!["Sean", "Tess", "Ruby"], all_names);

Creates a transaction that will never be committed. This is useful for tests. Panics if called while inside of a transaction.

Executes the given function inside a transaction, but does not commit it. Panics if the given function returns an error.

Example
use diesel::result::Error;

conn.test_transaction::<_, Error, _>(|| {
    diesel::insert_into(users)
        .values(name.eq("Ruby"))
        .execute(&conn)?;

    let all_names = users.select(name).load::<String>(&conn)?;
    assert_eq!(vec!["Sean", "Tess", "Ruby"], all_names);

    Ok(())
});

// Even though we returned `Ok`, the transaction wasn't committed.
let all_names = users.select(name).load::<String>(&conn)?;
assert_eq!(vec!["Sean", "Tess"], all_names);
