Model.objects.update_or_create method sometimes raises TransactionManagementError

Description (last modified by Anton Plotkin)

When using with myisam-only database the method update_or_create can occur a TransactionManagementError exception if creating a record was unsuccessful (because of IntegrityError, for example the record with a same primary key was already created by another process).

The problem has started after the upgrading from Django 3.2.16 to 4.1.7

The test below just simulates a parallel insertion of the record with the same PK

Database backend: mariadb server (10.5.19) (default-storage-engine is myisam).

This test works fine with Django 3.2.16 and fails on Django 4.1.7+:

class TransactionManagementErrorTest(TestCase):

    class TestModel(models.Model):
        managed = False
        field = models.IntegerField(null=True)

        class Meta(object):
            db_table = 'test_model_update_or_create'

        class QuerySet(models.QuerySet):
            def create(self, **kwargs):
                super().create(**kwargs)  # simulate parallel insertion
                return super().create(**kwargs)
    
        class TestModelManager(models.Manager.from_queryset(QuerySet)):
            pass

        objects = TestModelManager()

    def exec_sql(self, sql):
        from django.db import connections, router
        db = router.db_for_write(self.TestModel)
        connection = connections[db]
        connection.cursor().execute(sql)

    def setUp(self):
        super().setUp()
        self.exec_sql(
            'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `test_model_update_or_create` (`id` integer AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, `field` integer NULL);'
        )

    def tearDown(self):
        self.exec_sql(
            'DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `test_model_update_or_create`;'
        )
        super().tearDown()

    def test_update_or_create(self):
        self.TestModel.objects.update_or_create(id=1, defaults={'field': 2})

Exception: django.db.transaction.TransactionManagementError: An error occurred in the current transaction. You can't execute queries until the end of the 'atomic' block.

I ran the test above (I had to add managed=False to the model) on 3.2.16 and I get the same error as it does on main.

Besides knowing what exception the reporter is getting, I would like to understand what is the desired outcome, considering that the test is setting the same id for both insertions. I would expect an IntegrityError as shown by David.

I'd be surprise at any change in the behavior here. Also, MyISAM storage engine doesn't support transactions, etc. I don't think you've explained the issue in enough detail to confirm a bug in Django. Please reopen the ticket if you can debug your issue and provide details about why and where Django is at fault.

comment:8 by Simon Charette, 3 years ago

Backends that don't support transactions is not a particularly well tested area of the code base. Do we even run the full test suite against MyISAM?

I'm curious as to whether you run into the same issue by making your TransactionManagementErrorTest testcase extend TransationTestCase instead of TestCase. I would expect transaction.atomic to be a noop when the backend doesn't support transactions so I wouldn't be surprised if there was an issue with nested atomic blocks on such backends as they also don't support savepoints by definition (Remember that TestCase wraps each tests in an outer atomic block).

comment:9 by David Sanders, 3 years ago

Ok so I think I get what OP is reporting here, but when I run the above test on latest main, it works fine.

  • The above test creates an InnoDB table; this causes the test with the duplicate create() calls in the manager to abort the transaction because we can't have 2 rows with pk=1
  • After editing the test to create a MyISAM the test starts passing - I see no issue.

I'd ask if OP can please make sure the test is run against latest main.

I'm doing this from time to time (e.g. 73766c118781a7f7052bf0a5fbee38b944964e31, 8e89dfe1c24540d33b577377af633694ff57f505, or 331a460f8f2e4f447b68fba491464b68c9b21fd1.)

Bisected to the 331a460f8f2e4f447b68fba491464b68c9b21fd1, however the MyISAM storage engine doesn't support transactions so I'm not sure how it worked before.

The changes in 331a460f8f2e4f447b68fba491464b68c9b21fd1 are semantically correct but they had the side effect of making BaseDatabaseWrapper._savepoint_allowed return False and thus savepoint() creation always return None. Remember that MySQL does support transactions and will happily create valid savepoints that can be rolled back and discarded independently of the default storage engine used.

Since update_or_create uses nested atomic to handle possible integrity errors it was previously taking the savepoints created by MySQL as way to mark back the connection as usable. Now that savepoints are not returned anymore it assumes the outer atomic block is tainted as well and raise TransactionManagementError.

I'm not sure why Atomic.__enter__ and __exit__ are not simply noops when transactions are determined to not be supported instead of trying to handle all kind of nesting and savepoint combinations.

As for the heuristics to determine if a backend supports transaction the situation is definitely weird on MySQL as supports is on a per-table basis and default_storage_engine is really just a guess at that. In this sense 331a460f8f2e4f447b68fba491464b68c9b21fd1 is backward incompatible as it stopped using savepoints which could have an impact on setups that have mixed storage engines. Not sure if this is a supported setup though.

Replying to Simon Charette:

Would you recommend reverting 331a460f8f2e4f447b68fba491464b68c9b21fd1? (I fine with that)

I think that reverting 331a460f8f2e4f447b68fba491464b68c9b21fd1 is less controversial than making Atomic a noop on databases that don't support transactions as the latter would require a larger discussion.

In 83339d21:

Fixed #34523 -- Fixed TransactionManagementError in QuerySet.update_or_create() with MyISAM storage engine.

QuerySet.update_or_create() uses nested atomic to handle possible
integrity errors taking savepoints as way to mark back the connection
as usable. Savepoints are not returned when
uses_savepoints/can_release_savepoints feature flags are set to False.
As a consequence, QuerySet.update_or_create() assumed the outer atomic
block is tainted and raised TransactionManagementError.

This commit partly reverts 331a460f8f2e4f447b68fba491464b68c9b21fd1.

Thanks gatello-s for the report.
