        public java.sql.Connection getJDBCConnection()
        Returns a java.sql.Connection object that can be used as a JDBC interface to access the current transaction of this DatabaseConnection.

        There are a few important considerations when using the JDBC connection;

        • The returned Connection does not allow auto-commit to be set. It is intended to be used to issue commands to this DatabaseConnection from inside a transaction so auto-commit does not make sense.
        • The returned object must only be accessed from the same worker thread that is currently accessing this DatabaseConnection. The returned Connection is NOT multi-thread capable.
        • The java.sql.Connection returned here is invalidated (disposed) when the current transaction is closed (committed or rolled back).
        • This method returns the same java.sql.Connection on multiple calls to this method (while a transaction is open).
        • The DatabaseConnection must be locked in EXCLUSIVE mode or the queries will fail.
      • createProcedureConnection

        ProcedureConnection createProcedureConnection​(User user)
        Creates an object that implements ProcedureConnection that provides access to this connection.

        Note that this connection is set to the user of the privs that the procedure executes under when this method returns.

        There must be a 100% guarentee that after this method is called, a call to 'disposeProcedureConnection' is called which cleans up the state of this object.

        public TableName tryResolveCase​(TableName table_name)
        Attempts to resolve the given table name to its correct case assuming the table name represents a case insensitive version of the name. For example, "aPP.CuSTOMer" may resolve to "APP.Customer". If the table name can not resolve to a valid identifier it returns the input table name, therefore the actual presence of the table should always be checked by calling 'tableExists' after this method returns.
      • resolveTableName

        public TableName resolveTableName​(java.lang.String name)
        Resolves a TableName string (eg. 'Customer' 'APP.Customer' ) to a TableName object. If the schema part of the table name is not present then it is set to the current schema of the database connection. If the database is ignoring the case then this will correctly resolve the table to the cased version of the table name.

      • fireTableEvent

        void fireTableEvent​(TableModificationEvent evt)
        Notifies this connection that an insert/delete or update operation has occurred on some table of this DatabaseConnection. This should notify the trigger connection manager of this event so that it may perform any action that may have been set up to occur on this event.
      • fireTrigger

        public void fireTrigger​(DatabaseConnection database,
                                java.lang.String trigger_name,
                                TriggerEvent evt)
        Notifies when a trigger has fired for this user. If there are no open transactions on this connection then we do a straight call back trigger notify. If there is a transaction open then trigger events are added to the 'trigger_event_buffer' which fires when the connection transaction is committed or rolled back.
        Specified by:
        fireTrigger in interface TriggerListener
        Parameters:
        database - the DatabaseConnection that this trigger is registered for.
        evt - the trigger event that was fired.

      • disposeTransaction

        private void disposeTransaction()
        Private method that disposes the current transaction.
      • commit

        public void commit()
                    throws TransactionException
        Tries to commit the current transaction. If the transaction can not be committed because there were concurrent changes that interfered with each other then a TransactionError is thrown and the transaction is rolled back.

        NOTE: It's guarenteed that the transaction will be closed even if a transaction exception occurs.

        Synchronization is implied on this method, because the locking mechanism should be exclusive when this is called.

        Throws:
        TransactionException
      • rollback

        public void rollback()
        Rolls back the current transaction operating within this connection.

        NOTE: It's guarenteed that the transaction will be closed even if an exception occurs.

        Synchronization is implied on this method, because the locking mechanism should be exclusive when this is called.
