Question

What I’m interested in is,

Can you do a cascading(multi-model) commit?

An example. I have models A, B and C.

I call a A->function(), which calls B->function() and then calls C->function(). Is there a way to make sure that both B,C and A are successful before I commit? I know, that I can do this for a single function, but what about cascading style?

Answer 1

The db adapter transaction will work fine outside the models as long as it’s controlled within the lifetime of the script.

$db->beginTransaction();

try {
    A->function();
    $db->commit();
} catch (Exception $e) {
    $db->rollBack();
}
