This patch does not remove all occurrences of the words in question.
Rather, I went through all of the occurrences of the words listed
below, and judged if they a) suggested the reader had some kind of
knowledge/experience, and b) if they added anything of value (including
tone of voice, etc). I left most of the words alone. I looked at the
following words:
- simply/simple
- easy/easier/easiest
- obvious
- just
- merely
- straightforward
- ridiculous
Thanks to Carlton Gibson for guidance on how to approach this issue, and
to Tim Bell for providing the idea. But the enormous lion's share of
thanks go to Adam Johnson for his patient and helpful review.
This commits lifts the restriction that the outermost atomic block must
be declared with savepoint=False. This restriction was overly cautious.
The logic that makes it safe not to create savepoints for inner blocks
also applies to the outermost block when autocommit is disabled and a
transaction is already active.
This makes it possible to use the ORM after set_autocommit(False).
Previously it didn't work because ORM write operations are protected
with atomic(savepoint=False).
Made it possible to register and run callbacks after a database
transaction is committed with the `transaction.on_commit()` function.
This patch is heavily based on Carl Meyers django-transaction-hooks
<https://django-transaction-hooks.readthedocs.org/>. Thanks to
Aymeric Augustin, Carl Meyer, and Tim Graham for review and feedback.
The ticket was originally about two failing tests, which are
fixed by putting their queries in transactions.
Thanks Tim Graham for the report, Aymeric Augustin for the fix,
and Simon Charette, Tim Graham & Loïc Bistuer for review.
Clarified that queries in autocommit mode are committed immediately
only if a transaction has not already been started. Added to the
main transaction docs that Django's TestCase class implicitly wraps
its tests in transactions.

Fixed TransactionManagementError in tests.
Previous commit introduced an additional check to prevent running
queries in transactions that will be rolled back, which triggered a few
failures in the tests. In practice using transaction.atomic instead of
the low-level savepoint APIs was enough to fix the problems.

Allowed nesting constraint_checks_disabled inside atomic.
Since MySQL handles transactions loosely, this isn't a problem.

Prevented running queries in transactions that will be rolled back.
This avoids a counter-intuitive behavior in an edge case on databases
with non-atomic transaction semantics.
It prevents using savepoint_rollback() inside an atomic block without
calling set_rollback(False) first, which is backwards-incompatible in
tests.

Replaced manual savepoints by atomic blocks.
This ensures the rollback flag is handled consistently in internal APIs.
This is useful:
- to force a rollback on the exit of an atomic block without having to
raise and catch an exception;
- to prevent a rollback after handling an exception manually.
A decorator is easier to apply to CBVs. Backwards compatibility isn't an
issue here, except for people running on a recent clone of master.
Fixed a few minor problems in the transactions docs while I was there.
Thanks Anssi for haggling until I implemented this.
This change alleviates the need for atomic_if_autocommit. When
autocommit is disabled for a database, atomic will simply create and
release savepoints, and not commit anything. This honors the contract of
not doing any transaction management.
This change also makes the hack to allow using atomic within the legacy
transaction management redundant.
None of the above will work with SQLite, because of a flaw in the design
of the sqlite3 library. This is a known limitation that cannot be lifted
without unacceptable side effects eg. triggering arbitrary commits.
Replaced them with per-database options, for proper multi-db support.
Also toned down the recommendation to tie transactions to HTTP requests.
Thanks Jeremy for sharing his experience.
