Add SQL Transaction

[AkmalFairuz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I tried to make Payment System like EconomyAPI (/pay).
A: doing pay to B
B: receive pay from A
It need 2 query (
Reduce money A
Add money B )
, but when 1 query executed the server crash, A money reduced and B money not added.

I need startTransaction function and callback if query failed.

For now, your specific case can be done like this:

-- # :payer string
-- # :recipient string
-- # :amount int
UPDATE money SET amount = amount * IF(player = :payer, 1, -1) WHERE player IN (:payer, :recipient)

This is a very ugly hack, but before transactions get implemented, this method can successfully squeeze your queries into one.

Hmm, Can you add LOCK TABLE & UNLOCK TABLE ?, Query will conflict when multi server using one MySQL Server

It only example. But i can't do this when result from query SELECT and the result must executed by code

Right now the best solution is to CREATE PROCEDURE or CREATE FUNCTION.
Adding support for multiple queries breaks quite a lot of internals and is not trivial to implement.

The problem could be simply resolved using AwaitGenerator.

1. Wait until query reduced money to A
2. Then add money to B.

This has nothing to do with async. It is about the atomicness of transactions at the server side.
