Pull request overview
Note
Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.
Adds guidance on handling exceptions thrown during transactions and clarifies how to detect/retry on common PostgreSQL concurrency errors, while also tightening up the transaction isolation table formatting/spelling.
Changes:
- Documented how Serverpod rolls back/rethrows on transaction callback exceptions and how database rejections surface as
DatabaseQueryException. - Added a Dart example for checking
DatabaseQueryException.codeagainstPgErrorCode(e.g., serialization failure, deadlock). - Updated the transaction isolation table header formatting and corrected “PostgresSQL” → “PostgreSQL”.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
