Database - Transactions

Both Database and Driver instances provide access to transaction management for your queries. You can manage transactions manually or use pre-created Closure based flow.

Examples

To start and commit transaction manually use begin and commit methods of Database:

php
$db->begin();

// your queries

$db->commit();

Rollback:

php
$db->begin();

// your queries

$db->rollback();

Alternative Approach (recommended)

You can let Database manage state of your transaction automatically using transaction method:

php
$db->transaction(function (Database $db) {
    //Queries    
});

Transaction will be rolled back in case of any exception.

Connection Errors

DBAL will attempt to reconnect to the database in case of connection drop only when no transactions open.
