FAQPage Schema

How do I manage ORM transactions in BoxLang to ensure atomic saves?▼

ORM transactions in BoxLang ensure atomic saves by wrapping multiple entity operations in a transaction block that automatically commits on success and rolls back on error. This prevents partial data writes when errors occur.

How do nested transactions and savepoints work with BoxLang ORM?▼

BoxLang ORM nested transactions use savepoints to allow partial rollbacks within a larger transaction block. You can set intermediate savepoints, roll back to them on specific errors, and still preserve the outer transaction without aborting the entire operation.

Can I use BoxLang ORM transactions with multiple datasources?▼

Yes, BoxLang ORM transactions support multi-datasource configurations, allowing you to coordinate transaction blocks and session management across different datasources within the same application workflow.

When should I use ORMFlush or ORMClearSession inside a transaction?▼

Use ORMFlush within a BoxLang ORM transaction to force pending changes to the database, and use ORMClearSession to clear the session cache. Both coordinate in-session changes across multiple entities during active transaction blocks.

How do I manually commit or rollback a BoxLang ORM transaction instead of relying on automatic behavior?▼

BoxLang ORM provides explicit commit and rollback functions for manual transaction control, allowing you to override the automatic commit-on-success and rollback-on-error defaults when you need custom logic or conditional saves.
