The Django documentation gives a warning
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/db/transactions/#controlling-transactions-explicitly>
to avoid catching errors inside transaction.atomic() blocks, and to use
nested transactions if you need to do so. But in the case where we have
code like:
with transaction.atomic():
# Create and save some models here
try:
SomeModel.objects.get(id=NON_EXISTENT_ID)
except SomeModel.DoesNotExist:
raise SomeCustomError()
Will anything bad actually happen if we just immediately raise a custom
error without doing any other error handling? The expected behavior in this
case would be that the entire transaction gets rolled back, and so nothing
before or after the exception is committed.
I'm just wondering in cases like these there is any reason for using the
recommended nested transaction, or if it's just extra code that's not
serving any purpose. The examples only speak to cases where there is there
would otherwise be database queries getting executed in between the first
database error and the end of the transaction, which isn't the case here.
