Can anyone provide an example of how I could achieve MySQL transactions in Node.js. I am trying to get my head around using the node-mysql driver and node-mysql-queue.
As far are I can tell, using node-mysql-queue greatly reduces the asynchronous nature of Node.js as new queries have to wait until existing ones have completed. To get around this, has anyone attempted to combine node-mysql-queue with node-mysql's connection-pooling capabilities. i.e starting a new mysql connection for each new http request, and starting transaction queues on individual connections?
The following transaction example was added to the documentation a month ago:
https://github.com/felixge/node-mysql#transactions
connection.beginTransaction(function(err) {
if (err) { throw err; }
connection.query('INSERT INTO posts SET title=?', title, function(err, result) {
if (err) {
connection.rollback(function() {
throw err;
});
}
var log = 'Post ' + result.insertId + ' added';
connection.query('INSERT INTO log SET data=?', log, function(err, result) {
if (err) {
connection.rollback(function() {
throw err;
});
}
connection.commit(function(err) {
if (err) {
connection.rollback(function() {
throw err;
});
}
console.log('success!');
});
});
});
});
