const tableUpdates = yourTable.recordUpdates;
query1.trigger({additionalScope: {tableUpdates}});

If query1 and query2 were both bulk updates on tables within the same database, then it would be nice to have a way for the updates to run in a single transaction.

So I think the limitations is with SQL itself when in a distributed environment (which is where…
Hi everyone,
At our company, we frequently use Retool to create projects for our clients. With Retool continuously introducing new features, its capabilities now extend far beyond just building a basic admin tool. We are now building complete digital platforms with some more complex use cases.
In these complex scenarios, we sometimes need to execute 7 or 8 queries in a row (on the same data source). This poses a risk of data inconsistency if something goes wrong. A solution is setting up a bac…
Hi,
I was wondering whether it's possible to batch multiple PostgreSQL queries into one transaction so that if one of my queries fails, the entire batch of queries will fail?
I checked Batching queries in to one transaction - #4 by alex-w , but this doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for unfortunately.
