Laravel 4 Database Queue Driver
===============================

[](#laravel-4-database-queue-driver)

Push a function/closure to the Database queue.
----------------------------------------------

[](#push-a-functionclosure-to-the-database-queue)

This is a real queue driver, like beanstalkd or redis one. You need a daemon like supervisor or similar to listen to your queue.

### Install

[](#install)

Add the package to the require section of your composer.json and run `composer update`

```
"davelip/laravel-database-queue": ">0.5"

```

Add the Service Provider to the providers array in config/app.php

```
'Davelip\Queue\DatabaseServiceProvider'

```

I suggest to publish migrations, so they are copied to your regular migrations

```
$ php artisan migrate:publish davelip/laravel-database-queue

```

And then run migrate

```
$ php artisan migrate

```

I suggest to create the `failed_jobs` table, in this moment, with:

```
$ php artisan queue:failed-table

```

You should now be able to use the database driver in config/queue.php

```
'default' => 'database',

'connections' => array(
    ...
    'database' => array(
        'driver' => 'database',
        'queue' => 'queue-name', // optional, can be null or any string
        'lock_type' => 0, // optional, can be 0, 1 or 2
    ),
    ...
}

```

It work in the same as beanstalkd or redis queue listener.

Listen for new job:

```
$ php artisan queue:listen

```

Concurrency are managed by `status` column in the `queues` table, so you can parallelize your `queue:listen`.

Atomicity of status change are garantee by database transaction, if you are having problems of race condition can You set the option `lock_type` to:

- 'lock\_type' => 1 // queue system will use sharedLock
- 'lock\_type' => 2 // queue system will use lockForUpdate
