 Bug Type:         PDO related
 Operating System: Linux
 PHP Version:      5.2.11
 New Comment:

About the difference when running prepare+execute in a separate
function: we just get the same stmt pointer address in this case
(vs. a different pointer address when running everything in the 
same context). Thus stmt_name remains identical among successive
calls, stmt_name being just set as
spprintf(&S->stmt_name, 0, "pdo_pgsql_stmt_%08x", (unsigned int)stmt);
This explains why prepare() fails in the first case and succeed
in the other.

Anyway, here is a patch (against PHP_5_2 svn branch's head as of now) 
using savepoints around PQprepare attempts so we DEALLOCATE + retry 
without silently killing the current transaction, if/when the first 
prepare fails with code 42P05. 

Savepoints support started with pg 8.0 and I didn't ifdefed/autoconf
checked for this (will do if you ask); the patch will probably be
mangled by the bugrackers autowrapping (if so, please find a copy
at http://zouh.org/ben/various/pgsql_statement.c.diff ).

Look at the PostgreSQL logs above (running the provided test case
with log_statement='all' and log_min_messages='INFO'), keeping
in mind that:
- PostgreSQL automatically abort transactions when something fails.
- PostgreSQL does maintains prepared statements outside transaction
  context. Prepared statements survive a rollback/abort, and last
  for the duration of the current database session.
- It seems that when executed in another function/context than 
  PDO::beginTransaction, PDO tries to DEALLOCATE right after the
  first transaction failure (vs. after the next BEGIN statement
  when in same context).

Therefore we have the following flow:

BEGIN;
  -- PDO successfully prepare the statement
  PREPARE prep_statement_1 AS ...;

  -- We execute a bogus statement that cause pg to automatically
  -- abort the current transaction. PDO raise a proper exception
  EXECUTE prep_statement_1;

  -- This fails because we're in aborted transaction;
  -- The prepared statement is thus left allocated.
  DEALLOCATE prep_statement_1;
ROLLBACK;

-- And then we loop with
BEGIN;
  -- This prep statement already exists (PDO failed to clean it)
  -- so this fails and pg automatically abort this new transaction.
  PREPARE prep_statement_1 AS ...;

  -- Given the above failure, PDO tries again to clean up the
  -- prepared stmt which will fail again.
  -- Hence PDO raising a "current transaction is aborted" exception.
  DEALLOCATE prep_statement_1;
ROLLBACK;


Surprisingly, when we call prepare() inline like this:
    try {
        $cnx->beginTransaction();
        $stmt = $cnx->prepare($sql);
        $stmt->execute();

instead of that :

    function qexec(&$pdo, $sql) {
        $stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
        $stmt->execute();
    }
    try {
        $cnx->beginTransaction();
        qexec($cnx, $sql);

we do get a different (and preferable) behaviour:
BEGIN -> PREPARE -> EXECUTE -> ROLLBACK
  -> BEGIN -> DEALLOCATE -> PREPARE -> EXECUTE -> ROLLBACK
  -> BEGIN -> DEALLOCATE -> PREPARE -> EXECUTE -> ROLLBACK -> ...

vs.
BEGIN -> PREPARE -> EXECUTE -> DEALLOCATE -> ROLLBACK
  -> BEGIN -> PREPARE (-> EXECUTE) -> DEALLOCATE -> ROLLBACK
  -> BEGIN -> PREPARE (-> EXECUTE) -> DEALLOCATE -> ROLLBACK -> ...


Granted, preparing the same exact statement in loop (rather than
once then using varying parameters) is dumb, but...

Description:
------------
When prepar()ing a statement in a separate function, pdo_pgsql behaves
as if we hadn't rollbacked and started a new transaction.

But no such problem when either :
- we use another pdo driver (tested with sqlite)
- prepare() call is inlined in the same code block as beginTransaction
(rather than in a distinct function)
- the function contains a straigth "query()" instead of prepare() +
execute()

Reproduced with both php-5.2.6 and php-5.2.11, PostgreSQL 8.3.8.


Reproduce code:
---------------
/*
 * CREATE TABLE test (a SERIAL PRIMARY KEY);
 * INSERT INTO test VALUES (1);
 */

$cnx = new PDO('pgsql:dbname=testbase;host=localhost', 'postgres','');
$cnx->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

$sql = "INSERT INTO test (a) VALUES (1)";

function prepare_and_exec_query(&$pdo, $sql)
{
    $stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
    $stmt->execute();
}

for ($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) {
    try {
        $cnx->beginTransaction();
        prepare_and_exec_query($cnx, $sql);
        $cnx->commit();
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage() . "\n";
        if (true === $cnx->rollback()) echo "rollbacked ok\n";
    }
}


Expected result:
----------------
Error: SQLSTATE[23505]: Unique violation: 7 ERROR:  duplicate key value
violates unique constraint "test_pkey"
rollbacked ok
Error: SQLSTATE[23505]: Unique violation: 7 ERROR:  duplicate key value
violates unique constraint "test_pkey"
rollbacked ok
Error: SQLSTATE[23505]: Unique violation: 7 ERROR:  duplicate key value
violates unique constraint "test_pkey"
rollbacked ok

Actual result:
--------------
Error: SQLSTATE[23505]: Unique violation: 7 ERROR:  duplicate key value
violates unique constraint "test_pkey"
rollbacked ok
Error: SQLSTATE[25P02]: In failed sql transaction: 7 ERROR:  current
transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block
rollbacked ok
Error: SQLSTATE[25P02]: In failed sql transaction: 7 ERROR:  current
transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block
rollbacked ok
