clear_query_caches_for_current_thread()Link
Clears the query cache for all connections associated with the current thread.
def clear_query_caches_for_current_thread connection_handler.each_connection_pool do |pool| pool.clear_query_cache end end
connected?()Link
Returns true
if Active Record is connected.
def connected? connection_handler.connected?(connection_specification_name, role: current_role, shard: current_shard) end
connected_to(role: nil, shard: nil, prevent_writes: false, &blk)Link
Connects to a role (e.g. writing, reading, or a custom role) and/or shard for the duration of the block. At the end of the block the connection will be returned to the original role / shard.
If only a role is passed, Active Record will look up the connection based on the requested role. If a non-established role is requested an ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished error will be raised:
ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :writing) do
Dog.create! # creates dog using dog writing connection
end
ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :reading) do
Dog.create! # throws exception because we're on a replica
end
When swapping to a shard, the role must be passed as well. If a non-existent shard is passed, an ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished error will be raised.
When a shard and role is passed, Active Record will first lookup the role, and then look up the connection by shard key.
ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :reading, shard: :shard_one_replica) do
Dog.first # finds first Dog record stored on the shard one replica
end
def connected_to(role: nil, shard: nil, prevent_writes: false, &blk)
if self != Base && !abstract_class
raise NotImplementedError, "calling connected_to
is only allowed on ActiveRecord::Base or abstract classes."
end
if !connection_class? && !primary_class?
raise NotImplementedError, "calling connected_to
is only allowed on the abstract class that established the connection."
end
unless role || shard
raise ArgumentError, "must provide a shard
and/or role
."
end
with_role_and_shard(role, shard, prevent_writes, &blk) end
connected_to?(role:, shard: ActiveRecord::Base.default_shard)Link
Returns true if role is the current connected role and/or current connected shard. If no shard is passed, the default will be used.
ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :writing) do
ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to?(role: :writing) #=> true
ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to?(role: :reading) #=> false
end
ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to(role: :reading, shard: :shard_one) do
ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to?(role: :reading, shard: :shard_one) #=> true
ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to?(role: :reading, shard: :default) #=> false
ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to?(role: :writing, shard: :shard_one) #=> true
end
def connected_to?(role:, shard: ActiveRecord::Base.default_shard) current_role == role.to_sym && current_shard == shard.to_sym end
connected_to_all_shards(role: nil, prevent_writes: false, &blk)Link
Passes the block to connected_to for every shard
the model is configured to connect to (if any), and returns the results in an array.
Optionally, role
and/or prevent_writes
can be passed which will be forwarded to each connected_to call.
def connected_to_all_shards(role: nil, prevent_writes: false, &blk) shard_keys.map do |shard| connected_to(shard: shard, role: role, prevent_writes: prevent_writes, &blk) end end
connected_to_many(*classes, role:, shard: nil, prevent_writes: false)Link
Connects a role and/or shard to the provided connection names. Optionally prevent_writes
can be passed to block writes on a connection. reading
will automatically set prevent_writes
to true.
connected_to_many is an alternative to deeply nested connected_to blocks.
Usage:
ActiveRecord::Base.connected_to_many(AnimalsRecord, MealsRecord, role: :reading) do
Dog.first # Read from animals replica
Dinner.first # Read from meals replica
Person.first # Read from primary writer
end
def connected_to_many(*classes, role:, shard: nil, prevent_writes: false) classes = classes.flatten
if self != Base || classes.include?(Base) raise NotImplementedError, "connected_to_many can only be called on ActiveRecord::Base." end
prevent_writes = true if role == ActiveRecord.reading_role
append_to_connected_to_stack(role: role, shard: shard, prevent_writes: prevent_writes, klasses: classes) yield ensure connected_to_stack.pop end
connecting_to(role: default_role, shard: default_shard, prevent_writes: false)Link
Use a specified connection.
This method is useful for ensuring that a specific connection is being used. For example, when booting a console in readonly mode.
It is not recommended to use this method in a request since it does not yield to a block like connected_to.
def connecting_to(role: default_role, shard: default_shard, prevent_writes: false) prevent_writes = true if role == ActiveRecord.reading_role
append_to_connected_to_stack(role: role, shard: shard, prevent_writes: prevent_writes, klasses: [self]) end
connection()Link
def connection
pool = connection_pool
if pool.permanent_lease?
case ActiveRecord.permanent_connection_checkout
when :deprecated
ActiveRecord.deprecator.warn <<~MESSAGE
Called deprecated `ActiveRecord::Base.connection` method.
Either use `with_connection` or `lease_connection`.
MESSAGE
when :disallowed
raise ActiveRecordError, <<~MESSAGE
Called deprecated `ActiveRecord::Base.connection` method.

end
pool.lease_connection
else
pool.active_connection
end
end
connection_db_config()Link
Returns the db_config object from the associated connection:
ActiveRecord::Base.connection_db_config
#<ActiveRecord::DatabaseConfigurations::HashConfig:0x00007fd1acbded10 @env_name="development",
@name="primary", @config={pool: 5, timeout: 5000, database: "storage/development.sqlite3", adapter: "sqlite3"}>
Use only for reading.
def connection_db_config connection_pool.db_config end
connection_pool()Link
def connection_pool connection_handler.retrieve_connection_pool(connection_specification_name, role: current_role, shard: current_shard, strict: true) end
connection_specification_name()Link
Returns the connection specification name from the current class or its parent.
def connection_specification_name if @connection_specification_name.nil? return self == Base ? Base.name : superclass.connection_specification_name end @connection_specification_name end
connects_to(database: {}, shards: {})Link
Connects a model to the databases specified. The database
keyword takes a hash consisting of a role
and a database_key
.
This will look up the database config using the database_key
and establish a connection to that config.
class AnimalsModel < ApplicationRecord
self.abstract_class = true
connects_to database: { writing: :primary, reading: :primary_replica }
end
connects_to also supports horizontal sharding. The horizontal sharding API supports read replicas as well. You can connect a model to a list of shards like this:
class AnimalsModel < ApplicationRecord
self.abstract_class = true
connects_to shards: {
default: { writing: :primary, reading: :primary_replica },
shard_two: { writing: :primary_shard_two, reading: :primary_shard_replica_two }
}
end
Returns an array of database connections.
def connects_to(database: {}, shards: {})
raise NotImplementedError, "connects_to
can only be called on ActiveRecord::Base or abstract classes" unless self == Base || abstract_class?
if database.present? && shards.present?
raise ArgumentError, "connects_to
can only accept a database
or shards
argument, but not both arguments."
end
connections = []
@shard_keys = shards.keys
if shards.empty? shards[:default] = database end
self.default_shard = shards.keys.first
shards.each do |shard, database_keys| database_keys.each do |role, database_key| db_config = resolve_config_for_connection(database_key)
self.connection_class = true
connections << connection_handler.establish_connection(db_config, owner_name: self, role: role, shard: shard.to_sym)
end
end
connections end
establish_connection(config_or_env = nil)Link
Establishes the connection to the database. Accepts a hash as input where the :adapter
key must be specified with the name of a database adapter (in lower-case) example for regular databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc):
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
adapter: "mysql2",
host: "localhost",
username: "myuser",
password: "mypass",
database: "somedatabase"
)
Example for SQLite database:
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
adapter: "sqlite3",
database: "path/to/dbfile"
)
Also accepts keys as strings (for parsing from YAML for example):
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
"adapter" => "sqlite3",
"database" => "path/to/dbfile"
)
Or a URL:
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
"postgres://myuser:mypass@localhost/somedatabase"
)
In case ActiveRecord::Base.configurations is set (Rails automatically loads the contents of config/database.yml into it), a symbol can also be given as argument, representing a key in the configuration hash:
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(:production)
The exceptions AdapterNotSpecified, AdapterNotFound, and ArgumentError
may be returned on an error.
def establish_connection(config_or_env = nil) config_or_env ||= DEFAULT_ENV.call.to_sym db_config = resolve_config_for_connection(config_or_env) connection_handler.establish_connection(db_config, owner_name: self, role: current_role, shard: current_shard) end
lease_connection()Link
Returns the connection currently associated with the class. This can also be used to “borrow” the connection to do database work unrelated to any of the specific Active Records. The connection will remain leased for the entire duration of the request or job, or until release_connection is called.
def lease_connection connection_pool.lease_connection end
prohibit_shard_swapping(enabled = true)Link
Prohibit swapping shards while inside of the passed block.
In some cases you may want to be able to swap shards but not allow a nested call to connected_to or connected_to_many to swap again. This is useful in cases you’re using sharding to provide per-request database isolation.
def prohibit_shard_swapping(enabled = true) prev_value = ActiveSupport::IsolatedExecutionState[:active_record_prohibit_shard_swapping] ActiveSupport::IsolatedExecutionState[:active_record_prohibit_shard_swapping] = enabled yield ensure ActiveSupport::IsolatedExecutionState[:active_record_prohibit_shard_swapping] = prev_value end
release_connection()Link
Return the currently leased connection into the pool
def release_connection connection_pool.release_connection end
remove_connection()Link
def remove_connection name = @connection_specification_name if defined?(@connection_specification_name)
if connection_handler.retrieve_connection_pool(name, role: current_role, shard: current_shard) self.connection_specification_name = nil end
connection_handler.remove_connection_pool(name, role: current_role, shard: current_shard) end
retrieve_connection()Link
def retrieve_connection connection_handler.retrieve_connection(connection_specification_name, role: current_role, shard: current_shard) end
shard_keys()Link
def shard_keys connection_class_for_self.instance_variable_get(:@shard_keys) || [] end
shard_swapping_prohibited?()Link
Determine whether or not shard swapping is currently prohibited
def shard_swapping_prohibited? ActiveSupport::IsolatedExecutionState[:active_record_prohibit_shard_swapping] end
while_preventing_writes(enabled = true, &block)Link
Prevent writing to the database regardless of role.
In some cases you may want to prevent writes to the database even if you are on a database that can write. while_preventing_writes will prevent writes to the database for the duration of the block.
This method does not provide the same protection as a readonly user and is meant to be a safeguard against accidental writes.
See READ_QUERY
for the queries that are blocked by this method.
def while_preventing_writes(enabled = true, &block) connected_to(role: current_role, prevent_writes: enabled, &block) end
with_connection(prevent_permanent_checkout: false, &block)Link
Checkouts a connection from the pool, yield it and then check it back in. If a connection was already leased via lease_connection or a parent call to with_connection, that same connection is yieled. If lease_connection is called inside the block, the connection won’t be checked back in. If connection is called inside the block, the connection won’t be checked back in unless the prevent_permanent_checkout
argument is set to true
.
def with_connection(prevent_permanent_checkout: false, &block) connection_pool.with_connection(prevent_permanent_checkout: prevent_permanent_checkout, &block) end
