Any plans to support transactions?

[comfreakph]

the current version doesn't support transactions, is there plan for add this to massive?

[FransBouma]

It does https://github.com/FransBouma/Massive/blob/master/Massive.cs#L274 but not directly. You want directly defined transactions (like you define: 'start a transaction', then do things (so the actions are all in the transaction), then 'commit transaction' ? ) besides the indirect transaction defined now?

[comfreakph]

yes direct defined transactions like in EF.
ex:

db.create(model);
db.savechanges();

Hello Frans,

The link in your previous post does not work :(

Yep transaction will be great.
So in our code we could update many row and on exception ROLL BACK all.
Thanks!

The links:
https://github.com/FransBouma/Massive/blob/v1.0/Massive.cs#L274
https://github.com/FransBouma/Massive/blob/v2.0/src/Massive.Shared.cs#L418
(A somewhat relevant issue, at least for 'roll-your-own' transaction support: #301)

Massive doesn't have the design to have a Unit of work and a separate transaction requires also a separate connection, which is shared among operations. Massive's design doesn't really support that. It does have internal transactions but no external transaction. If you want that, use a System.Transactions.TransactionScope.
