public function Connection::nextId

public Connection::nextId($existing = 0)

Retrieve a the next id in a sequence.

Class

Connection
PostgreSQL implementation of \Drupal\Core\Database\Connection.

Namespace

Drupal\Core\Database\Driver\pgsql

Code

public function nextId($existing = 0) {

  // Retrieve the name of the sequence. This information cannot be cached
  // because the prefix may change, for example, like it does in simpletests.
  $sequence_name = $this->makeSequenceName('sequences', 'value');

  // When PostgreSQL gets a value too small then it will lock the table,
  // retry the INSERT and if it's still too small then alter the sequence.
  $id = $this->query("SELECT nextval('" . $sequence_name . "')")->fetchField();
  if ($id > $existing) {
    return $id;
  }

  // PostgreSQL advisory locks are simply locks to be used by an
  // application such as Drupal. This will prevent other Drupal processes
  // from altering the sequence while we are.
  $this->query("SELECT pg_advisory_lock(" . self::POSTGRESQL_NEXTID_LOCK . ")");

  // While waiting to obtain the lock, the sequence may have been altered
  // so lets try again to obtain an adequate value.
  $id = $this->query("SELECT nextval('" . $sequence_name . "')")->fetchField();
  if ($id > $existing) {
    $this->query("SELECT pg_advisory_unlock(" . self::POSTGRESQL_NEXTID_LOCK . ")");
    return $id;
  }

  // Reset the sequence to a higher value than the existing id.
  $this->query("ALTER SEQUENCE " . $sequence_name . " RESTART WITH " . ($existing + 1));

  // Retrieve the next id. We know this will be as high as we want it.
  $id = $this->query("SELECT nextval('" . $sequence_name . "')")->fetchField();
