bool supportsLocks()

Determines if the used database supports application-level locks, which is different from table- or row-level locking.

See {@link getLock()} for details.

Return Value

bool Flag indicating that locking is available

at line 488
bool canLock(string $name)

Returns if the lock is available.

See {@link supportsLocks()} to check if locking is generally supported.

Parameters

string $name Name of the lock

Return Value

bool

at line 494
bool getLock(string $name, integer $timeout = 5)

Sets an application-level lock so that no two processes can run at the same time, also called a "cooperative advisory lock".

Return FALSE if acquiring the lock fails; otherwise return TRUE, if lock was acquired successfully. Lock is automatically released if connection to the database is broken (either normally or abnormally), making it less prone to deadlocks than session- or file-based locks. Should be accompanied by a {@link releaseLock()} call after the logic requiring the lock has completed. Can be called multiple times, in which case locks "stack" (PostgreSQL, SQL Server), or auto-releases the previous lock (MySQL).

Note that this might trigger the database to wait for the lock to be released, delaying further execution.

Parameters

string $name Name of lock
integer $timeout Timeout in seconds

Return Value

bool

at line 504
bool releaseLock(string $name)

Remove an application-level lock file to allow another process to run (if the execution aborts (e.g. due to an error) all locks are automatically released).

Parameters

string $name Name of the lock

Return Value

bool Flag indicating whether the lock was successfully released

at line 68
