Interface UpdatableRecord<R extends UpdatableRecord<R>>

Type Parameters:

R - The record type

All Superinterfaces:

Attachable, Comparable<Record>, Record, Serializable, TableRecord<R>

All Known Implementing Classes:

UpdatableRecordImpl

public interface UpdatableRecord<R extends UpdatableRecord<R>>
extends TableRecord<R>

A common interface for records that can be stored back to the database again.

Any Record can be updatable, if

1. it represents a record from a table or view - a TableRecord
2. its underlying table or view has a "main unique key", i.e. a primary key or at least one unique key

The "main unique key" is used by jOOQ to perform the various operations that can be performed on an UpdatableRecord:

• delete() : Deleting the record
• refresh() : Refreshing the records attributes (or loading it for the first time)
• store() : Storing the record to the database. This executes either an INSERT or an UPDATE statement

UpdatableRecords are Attachable, which means that they hold an underlying Configuration that they can be detached from. They can also be instantiated without any underlying Configuration, in case of which they have to be attached first, in order to be refreshed, stored, or deleted.

Method Detail

key

Record key()

A Record copy holding values for the Table.getPrimaryKey().

The returned record consists exactly of those fields as returned by the table's primary key: Key.getFields().

Generated subtypes may covariantly override this method to add more record type information. For instance, they may return Record1, Record2, ...

store

int store()
   throws DataAccessException,
          DataChangedException

Store this record back to the database.

Depending on the state of the primary key's value, an insert() or an update() statement is executed.

Statement type

• If this record was created by client code, an INSERT statement is executed
• If this record was loaded by jOOQ and the primary key value was changed, an INSERT statement is executed (unless Settings.isUpdatablePrimaryKeys() is set). jOOQ expects that primary key values will never change due to the principle of normalisation in RDBMS. So if client code changes primary key values, this is interpreted by jOOQ as client code wanting to duplicate this record.
• If this record was loaded by jOOQ, and the primary key value was not changed, an UPDATE statement is executed.

In either statement type, only those fields are inserted/updated, which had been explicitly set by client code, in order to allow for DEFAULT values to be applied by the underlying RDBMS. If no fields were modified, neither an UPDATE nor an INSERT will be executed.

Automatic value generation

Use insert() or update() to explicitly force either statement type.

• IDENTITY columns

  If there is an IDENTITY column defined on the record's underlying table (see Table.getIdentity()), then the auto-generated IDENTITY value is refreshed automatically on INSERT's. Refreshing is done using Statement.getGeneratedKeys(), where this is supported by the JDBC driver. See also InsertQuery.getReturnedRecord() for more details

• VERSION and TIMESTAMP columns

  jOOQ can auto-generate "version" and "timestamp" values that can be used for optimistic locking. If this is an UpdatableRecord and if this record returns fields for either Table.getRecordVersion() or Table.getRecordTimestamp(), then these values are set onto the INSERT or UPDATE statement being executed. On execution success, the generated values are set to this record. Use the code-generation configuration to specify naming patterns for auto-generated "version" and "timestamp" columns.

  Should you want to circumvent jOOQ-generated updates to these columns, you can render an INSERT or UPDATE statement manually using the various DSLContext.insertInto(Table), DSLContext.update(Table) methods.

Optimistic locking

If an UPDATE statement is executed and Settings.isExecuteWithOptimisticLocking() is set to true, then this record will first be compared with the latest state in the database. There are two modes of operation for optimistic locking:

• With VERSION and/or TIMESTAMP columns configured

  This is the preferred way of using optimistic locking in jOOQ. If this is an UpdatableRecord and if this record returns fields for either Table.getRecordVersion() or Table.getRecordTimestamp(), then these values are compared to the corresponding value in the database in the WHERE clause of the executed DELETE statement.

• Without any specific column configurations

  In order to compare this record with the latest state, the database record will be locked pessimistically using a SELECT .. FOR UPDATE statement. Not all databases support the FOR UPDATE clause natively. Namely, the following databases will show slightly different behaviour:

  • SQLDialect.CUBRID and SQLDialect.SQLSERVER: jOOQ will try to lock the database record using JDBC's ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE and ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE.
  • SQLDialect.SQLITE: No pessimistic locking is possible. Client code must assure that no race-conditions can occur between jOOQ's checking of database record state and the actual UPDATE

  See SelectQuery.setForUpdate(boolean) for more details

Statement examples

Possible statements are

•  INSERT INTO [table] ([modified fields, including keys])
   VALUES ([modified values, including keys])

•  UPDATE [table]
   SET [modified fields = modified values, excluding keys]
   WHERE [key fields = key values]
   AND [version/timestamp fields = version/timestamp values]

Statement execution enforcement

If you want to enforce statement execution, regardless if the values in this record were changed, you can explicitly set the changed flags for all values with Record.changed(boolean) or for single values with Record.changed(Field, boolean), prior to storing.

This is the same as calling record.store(record.fields())

Returns:

1 if the record was stored to the database. 0 if storing was not necessary.

Throws:

DataAccessException - if something went wrong executing the query

DataChangedException - If optimistic locking is enabled and the record has already been changed/deleted in the database

int store(Field<?>... fields)
   throws DataAccessException,
          DataChangedException

insert

int insert()
    throws DataAccessException

Optimistic locking

If a DELETE statement is executed and Settings.isExecuteWithOptimisticLocking() is set to true, then this record will first be compared with the latest state in the database. There are two modes of operation for optimistic locking:

• With VERSION and/or TIMESTAMP columns configured

  This is the preferred way of using optimistic locking in jOOQ. If this is an UpdatableRecord and if this record returns fields for either Table.getRecordVersion() or Table.getRecordTimestamp(), then these values are compared to the corresponding value in the database in the WHERE clause of the executed DELETE statement.

• Without any specific column configurations

  In order to compare this record with the latest state, the database record will be locked pessimistically using a SELECT .. FOR UPDATE statement. Not all databases support the FOR UPDATE clause natively. Namely, the following databases will show slightly different behaviour:

  • SQLDialect.CUBRID and SQLDialect.SQLSERVER: jOOQ will try to lock the database record using JDBC's ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE and ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE.
  • SQLDialect.SQLITE: No pessimistic locking is possible. Client code must assure that no race-conditions can occur between jOOQ's checking of database record state and the actual DELETE

  See SelectQuery.setForUpdate(boolean) for more details

Statement examples

The executed statement is

 DELETE FROM [table]
 WHERE [key fields = key values]
 AND [version/timestamp fields = version/timestamp values]

This is in fact the same as calling delete(getTable().getPrimaryKey().getFieldsArray())

Returns:

1 if the record was deleted from the database. 0 if deletion was not necessary.

Throws:

DataAccessException - if something went wrong executing the query

DataChangedException - If optimistic locking is enabled and the record has already been changed/deleted in the database

refresh

void refresh()
      throws DataAccessException

Refresh this record from the database.

A successful refresh results in the following:

• Record.valuesRow() will have been restored to the respective values from the database
• TableRecord.original() will match this record
• Record.changed() will be false

Refreshing can trigger any of the following actions:

• Executing a new SELECT statement, if this is an UpdatableRecord.
• Failing, otherwise

This is the same as calling record.refresh(record.fields())

Throws:

DataAccessException - This exception is thrown if something went wrong executing the refresh SELECT statement

NoDataFoundException - If the record does not exist anymore in the database

refresh

void refresh(Field<?>... fields)
      throws DataAccessException,
             NoDataFoundException

A successful refresh results in the following:

• Record.valuesRow() will have been restored to the respective values from the database
• TableRecord.original() will match this record
• Record.changed() will be false

Refreshing can trigger any of the following actions:

• Executing a new SELECT statement, if this is an UpdatableRecord.
• Failing, otherwise

This is the same as calling record.refresh(record.fields())

Throws:

DataAccessException - This exception is thrown if something went wrong executing the refresh SELECT statement

NoDataFoundException - If the record does not exist anymore in the database

refresh

void refresh(Collection<? extends Field<?>> fields)
      throws DataAccessException,
             NoDataFoundException
