Database Handler

class wuttjamaican.db.handler.DatabaseHandler(config)

Base class and default implementation for the db handler.

next_counter_value(session, key)

Return the next counter value for the given key.

If the DB backend is PostgreSQL, then a proper “sequence” is used for the counter.

All other backends use a “fake” sequence by creating a dedicated table with auto-increment primary key, to provide the counter.

Parameters:

• session – Current db session.

• key – Unique key indicating the counter for which the next value should be fetched.

Returns:

Next value as integer.
