kotlin-coroutines-jdbc
A library for interacting with blocking JDBC drivers using Kotlin Coroutines.
Use of this library allows you to offload blocking JDBC calls to a dedicated CoroutineDispatcher
(e.g. Dispatchers.IO
), thus suspending your coroutine and freeing your thread for other work while waiting.
Installation
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
implementation("com.michael-bull.kotlin-coroutines-jdbc:kotlin-coroutines-jdbc:1.0.2")
}
Introduction
The primary higher-order function exposed by the library is the transaction
function.
suspend inline fun <T> transaction(crossinline block: suspend CoroutineScope.() -> T): T
Calling this function with a specific suspending block will run the block in the context of a CoroutineTransaction
.
Calls to transaction
can be nested inside another, with each child re-using the first CoroutineTransaction
. Only the outermost call will either commit
or rollback
the transaction.
Starting a fresh transaction will add a CoroutineTransaction
to the current CoroutineContext
. Transactions cannot be re-used after completion and attempting to do so will result in a runtime failure.
A transaction will establish a new Connection
if an open one does not already exist in the active CoroutineContext
. If the transaction does establish a new Connection
, it will attempt to close
it upon completion.
An active CoroutineConnection
is accessible from the current CoroutineContext
. The connection from the context can be used to prepare statements.

import com.github.michaelbull.jdbc.context.CoroutineDataSource
import com.github.michaelbull.jdbc.context.connection
import com.github.michaelbull.jdbc.transaction
import kotlinx.coroutines.CoroutineScope
import kotlinx.coroutines.Dispatchers
import kotlinx.coroutines.launch
import javax.sql.DataSource
import kotlin.coroutines.coroutineContext
class Example(dataSource: DataSource) {
private val scope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO + CoroutineDataSource(dataSource))
private val customers = CustomerRepository()
fun query() {
scope.launchTransaction()
}
private fun CoroutineScope.launchTransaction() = launch {
val customers = addThenFindAllCustomers()
customers.forEach(::println)
}
private suspend fun addThenFindAllCustomers(): List<String> {
return transaction {
customers.add("John Doe")
customers.findAll()
}
}
}
class CustomerRepository {
suspend fun add(name: String) {
coroutineContext.connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO customers VALUES (?)").use { stmt ->
stmt.setString(1, name)
stmt.executeUpdate()
}
}
suspend fun findAll(): List<String> {
val customers = mutableListOf<String>()
coroutineContext.connection.prepareStatement("SELECT name FROM customers").use { stmt ->
stmt.executeQuery().use { rs ->
while (rs.next()) {
customers += rs.getString("name")
}
}
}
return customers
}
}
