abstract Kohana_Database

Database connection wrapper/helper.

You may get a database instance using Database::instance('name') where name is the config group.

This class provides connection instance management via Database Drivers, as well as quoting, escaping and other related functions. Querys are done using Database_Query and Database_Query_Builder objects, which can be easily created using the DB helper class.

Methods

final public __destruct( ) (defined in Kohana_Database)

Disconnect from the database when the object is destroyed.

// Destroy the database instance
unset(Database::instances[(string) $db], $db);

Calling unset($db) is not enough to destroy the database, as it will still be stored in Database::$instances.

Return Values

  • void

Source Code

final public function __destruct()
{
	$this->disconnect();
}

final public __toString( ) (defined in Kohana_Database)

Returns the database instance name.

echo (string) $db;

Return Values

  • string

Source Code

final public function __toString()
{
	return $this->_instance;
}

abstract public begin( [ string $mode = NULL ] ) (defined in Kohana_Database)

Start a SQL transaction

// Start the transactions
$db->begin();

try {
     DB::insert('users')->values($user1)...
     DB::insert('users')->values($user2)...
     // Insert successful commit the changes
     $db->commit();
}
catch (Database_Exception $e)
{
     // Insert failed. Rolling back changes...
     $db->rollback();
 }

Parameters

  • string $mode = NULL - Transaction mode

Return Values

  • boolean

Source Code

abstract public function begin($mode = NULL);

abstract public commit( ) (defined in Kohana_Database)

Commit the current transaction

// Commit the database changes
