Struct lmdb_zero::WriteTransaction

pub struct WriteTransaction<'env>(_);

A read-write LMDB transaction.

In addition to all operations valid on ConstTransaction, it is also possible to perform writes to the underlying databases.

Ownership

WriteTransactions can be created with all three ownership modes (but owned mode is not useful).

Example — Shared mode

use std::sync::Arc;

let env = Arc::new(create_env());
let db = Arc::new(lmdb::Database::open(
  env.clone(), None, &lmdb::DatabaseOptions::defaults()).unwrap());

// Type and lifetime annotated explicitly for clarity
let txn: lmdb::WriteTransaction<'static> = lmdb::WriteTransaction::new(
  env.clone()).unwrap();

// Do stuff with `txn`...

txn.commit().unwrap();

Lifetime

All notes for ConstTransaction apply.

Methods

impl<'env> WriteTransaction<'env>

pub fn new<E>(env: E) -> Result<Self> where
    E: Into<NonSyncSupercow<'env, Environment>>, 

Creates a new, read-write transaction in the given environment.

Note

A transaction and its cursors must only be used by a single thread (enforced by the rust compiler), and a thread may only have a single read-write transaction at a time (even if NOTLS is in use --- trying to start two top-level read-write transactions on the same thread will deadlock).

pub fn child_tx<'a>(&'a mut self) -> Result<WriteTransaction<'a>> where
    'env: 'a, 

Opens a new, read-write transaction as a child transaction of the given parent. While the new transaction exists, no operations may be performed on the parent or any of its cursors. (These bindings are actually stricter, and do not permit cursors or other references into the parent to coexist with the child transaction.)

After this call, whether or not it succeeds, it is possible to call access() on the original transaction again one more time, since the Rust borrow rules guarantee the old accessor was destroyed by the caller already.

Note

A transaction and its cursors must only be used by a single thread (enforced by the rust compiler).

Example

let db = lmdb::Database::open(
  &env, None, &lmdb::DatabaseOptions::defaults()).unwrap();
let mut txn = lmdb::WriteTransaction::new(&env).unwrap();
let f = lmdb::put::Flags::empty();
{
  let mut access = txn.access();
  access.put(&db, "Germany", "Berlin", f).unwrap();
  access.put(&db, "Latvia", "Rīga", f).unwrap();
  access.put(&db, "France", "Paris", f).unwrap();
}

{
  // Open a child transaction and do some more reading and writing.
  let subtx = txn.child_tx().unwrap();
  let mut access = subtx.access();
  assert_eq!("Berlin", access.get::<str,str>(&db, "Germany").unwrap());
  access.put(&db, "Germany", "Frankfurt", f).unwrap();
  assert_eq!("Frankfurt", access.get::<str,str>(&db, "Germany").unwrap());
  // Don't commit --- let the child transaction abort (roll back)
}

{
  let mut access = txn.access();
  // Now we can do some more reading and writing on the original
  // transaction.
  // The effect of the aborted child transaction are not visible.
  access.put(&db, "United Kingdom", "London", f).unwrap();
  assert_eq!("Berlin", access.get::<str,str>(&db, "Germany").unwrap());
}

{
  // Another child.
  let subtx = txn.child_tx().unwrap();
  {
    let mut access = subtx.access();
    access.put(&db, "Spain", "Madrid", f).unwrap();
  }
  // Commit this one this time.
  subtx.commit().unwrap();
}

{
  // Now the changes from the child are visible to this transaction,
  // but still not outside it.
  let mut access = txn.access();
  assert_eq!("Madrid", access.get::<str,str>(&db, "Spain").unwrap());
}

txn.commit().unwrap();

pub fn commit(self) -> Result<()>

Commits this write transaction.

pub fn access(&self) -> WriteAccessor

Returns a read/write accessor on this transaction.

Panics

Panics if an accessor has already been obtained from this transaction and not yet dropped.

Methods from Deref<Target = ConstTransaction<'env>>

pub fn access(&self) -> ConstAccessor

Returns an accessor used to manipulate data in this transaction.

Ownership

Unlike most other lmdb-zero APIs, accessors do not support shared ownership modes (e.g., where the accessor would hold on to a Rc<ConstTransaction>). If you need dynamically-managed lifetime, instead simply drop the accessor and get a new one the next time one is needed.

Panics

Panics if this function has already been called on this transaction and the returned value has not yet been dropped.

Example

let txn = lmdb::ReadTransaction::new(&env).unwrap();
// Get access the first time
let access = txn.access();

// You can't get the accessor again in the same scope, since this
// would create two references to the same logical memory and allow
// creating aliased mutable references and so forth.
let access2 = txn.access(); // PANIC!

pub fn cursor<'txn, 'db, DB>(&'txn self, db: DB) -> Result<Cursor<'txn, 'db>> where
    DB: Into<Supercow<'db, Database<'db>>>, 

Creates a new cursor scoped to this transaction, bound to the given database.

This method is functionally equivalent to the method on CreateCursor and exists for convenience and backwards-compatibility.

If you have an, e.g., Rc<ReadTransaction> and want to get a Cursor<'static,'db>, make sure you have the CreateCursor trait imported so that the needed alternate implementations of this method are available.

pub fn id(&self) -> usize

Returns the internal id of this transaction.

pub fn db_stat(&self, db: &Database) -> Result<Stat>

Retrieves statistics for a database.

pub fn db_flags(&self, db: &Database) -> Result<Flags>

Retrieve the DB flags for a database handle.

    DB: Into<Supercow<'db, Database<'db>>>,
