Transactions with different types of model object

Rails
1

If i have three types of model objects, say an account, a person and a
tree :

account=Account.find(…
person=Person.find(…
tree=Tree.find(…

How do i start a transaction over the three of them. As far as i am
aware doing it like this only covers the account objects :

Account.transaction do
account.withdraw(20)
person.add_money(200)
tree.remove_leaves(23)
end

Any ideas??

Thanks,
Chris

Well the above will do what you want. All the Account.transaction does
is start a BEGIN … COMMIT sequence for you. There is no table level
transactions per-se.

Take a look at the logs when you run the above code, and watch the SQL
code. You’ll see it in there.

Thanks Nick,

my problem was that by default rails doesn’t revert the objects to their
original state.

How do you manually abort a transaction?

Thanks
