deferring commits in SQLAlchemy












0















Context: I am given code in which individual models do their own db.commit() after being updated. (You could argue whether or not that's bad coding practice, but that's not the point of this question...) Because my code updates a bunch of models, I'd like to do a single commit() after finishing all the updates rather than pay the overhead for the individual commits.



Question: Is there a construct that overrides all calls to commit(), perhaps in the form of a context manager, that performs a single commit() at the end?



with deferred_commits(db):
... update a bunch of models that might themselves call commit ...


... or something that's functionally equivalent? I can see how I'd implement that, but I'd rather use tested code before rolling my own.
