The docs state "For each begin_nested() call, a corresponding rollback() or commit() must be issued."
In PostgreSql, according to my understanding, if there is ever a database exception, a rollback must be issued. This means a main reason to issue a SAVEPOINT is as a hedge against an error. As database transactions go, I want this entire thing to be a single transaction, so now I don't know how to continue... For example, DBSession.begin_nested() #savepoint DBSession.add(obj) try: DBSession.flush() except IntegrityError: DBSession.rollback() else: # now what? I do not want to commit, i have much # more work to do than this which should be part of # this transaction, but if I don't commit now, # i need to issue 2 commits later()?? Is releasing the savepoint a choice instead of rolling() or commit()? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
