Transactions

Run a group of commands as one step with MULTI and EXEC, with optimistic locking through WATCH.

5 commands in KiviDB 1.1.2. Every command.

  • DISCARD: Drops the commands queued since MULTI, ends the transaction, and stops watching keys.
  • EXEC: Runs the commands queued since MULTI, as one step: no other client's command that could see their keys starts between two of them, reads included, so nobody sees the transaction half done.
  • MULTI: Starts a transaction on this connection.
  • UNWATCH: Stops watching every key this connection watches.
  • WATCH: Watches keys for the next transaction on this connection: if any of them is changed, by any client, before EXEC, the transaction runs nothing and EXEC replies nil.
