// The Writer interface is designed to solve the problem of how
|
|
// to handle database writes for database engines that don't allow
|
|
// concurrent writes, e.g. SQLite.
|
|
//
|
|
// The interface has a single Do function which takes an optional
|
|
// database parameter, an optional transaction parameter and a
|
|
// required function parameter. The Writer will call the function
|
|
// provided when it is safe to do so, optionally providing a
|
|
// transaction to use.
|
|
//
|
|
// Depending on the combination of parameters provided, the Writer
|
|
// will behave in one of three ways:
|
|
//
|
|
// 1. `db` provided, `txn` provided:
|
|
//
|
|
// The Writer will call f() when it is safe to do so. The supplied
|
|
// "txn" will ALWAYS be passed through to f(). Use this when you
|
|
// already have a transaction open.
|
|
//
|
|
// 2. `db` provided, `txn` not provided (nil):
|
|
//
|
|
// The Writer will open a new transaction on the provided database
|
|
// and then will call f() when it is safe to do so. The new
|
|
// transaction will ALWAYS be passed through to f(). Use this if
|
|
// you plan to perform more than one SQL query within f().
|
|
//
|
|
// 3. `db` not provided (nil), `txn` not provided (nil):
|
|
//
|
|
// The Writer will call f() when it is safe to do so, but will
|
|
// not make any attempt to open a new database transaction or to
|
|
// pass through an existing one. The "txn" parameter within f()
|
|
// will ALWAYS be nil in this mode. This is useful if you just
|
|
// want to perform a single query on an already-prepared statement
|
|
// without the overhead of opening a new transaction to do it in.
|
|
//
|
|
// You MUST take particular care not to call Do() from within f()
|
|
// on the same Writer, or it will likely result in a deadlock.
|
|
