Overview

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 SchemaStatement are very useful.

Instance Method Details

#prefetch_primary_key?(table_name = nil) ⇒ Boolean

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. This is false for all adapters but Firebird.

Returns:

end

#raw_connectionObject

Provides access to the underlying database driver for this adapter. For example, this method returns a Mysql object in case of MysqlAdapter, and a PGconn object in case of PostgreSQLAdapter.

This is useful for when you need to call a proprietary method such as PostgreSQL’s lo_* methods.



228

Returns:

  • (Boolean)


211
212
213
# File 'lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb', line 211

def requires_reloading?
  false
end

#reset!Object

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.

199
200
# File 'lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb', line 198

def reset!

#supports_ddl_transactions?Boolean

Returns:

  • (Boolean)


118
119
120
# File 'lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb', line 118

def supports_ddl_transactions?

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

99
100

#supports_primary_key?Boolean

Can this adapter determine the primary key for tables not attached to an Active Record class, such as join tables? Backend specific, as the abstract adapter always returns false.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)


105
106
107
# File 'lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb', line 105

def transaction_joinable=(joinable)
  @transaction_joinable = joinable
end

#verify!(*ignored) ⇒ Object

Checks whether the connection to the database is still active (i.e. not stale). This is done under the hood by calling active?. If the connection is no longer active, then this method will reconnect to the database.

220
# File 'lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb', line 218

def verify!(*ignored)
  reconnect! unless active?
