## Jobs and transactional integrity
351
-
:warning: Having your jobs in the same ACID-compliant database as your application data enables a powerful yet sharp tool: taking advantage of transactional integrity to ensure some action in your app is not committed unless your job is also committed and viceversa, and ensuring that your job won't be enqueued until the transaction within which you're enqueuing it is committed. This can be very powerful and useful, but it can also backfire if you base some of your logic on this behaviour, and in the future, you move to another active job backend, or if you simply move Solid Queue to its own database, and suddenly the behaviour changes under you.

Because this can be quite tricky and many people shouldn't need to worry about it, by default Solid Queue is configured in a different database as the main app, **job enqueuing is deferred until any ongoing transaction is committed** thanks to Active Job's built-in capability to do this. This means that even if you run Solid Queue in the same DB as your app, you won't be taking advantage of this transactional integrity.

Starting from Rails 8, an option which doesn't rely on this transactional integrity and which Active Job provides is to defer the enqueueing of a job inside an Active Record transaction until that transaction successfully commits. This option can be set via the [`enqueue_after_transaction_commit`](https://edgeapi.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveJob/Enqueuing.html#method-c-enqueue_after_transaction_commit) class method on the job level and is by default disabled. Either it can be enabled for individual jobs or for all jobs through `ApplicationJob`:

If you prefer to change this, you can set [`config.active_job.enqueue_after_transaction_commit`](https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#config-active-job-enqueue-after-transaction-commit) to `never`. You can also set this on a per-job basis.

```ruby

class ApplicationJob < ActiveJob::Base

self.enqueue_after_transaction_commit = true
358

end

```

Using this option, you can also use Solid Queue in the same database as your app but not rely on transactional integrity.

- Your jobs relying on specific data are always enqueued on [`after_commit` callbacks](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_callbacks.html#after-commit-and-after-rollback) or otherwise from a place where you're certain that whatever data the job will use has been committed to the database before the job is enqueued.

- Or, you configure a different database for Solid Queue, even if it's the same as your app, ensuring that a different connection on the thread handling requests or running jobs for your app will be used to enqueue jobs. For example:

Solid Queue supports defining recurring tasks that run at specific times in the future, on a regular basis like cron jobs. These are managed by the scheduler process and are defined in their own configuration file. By default, the file is located in `config/recurring.yml`, but you can set a different path using the environment variable `SOLID_QUEUE_RECURRING_SCHEDULE` or by using the `--recurring_schedule_file` option with `bin/jobs`, like this:
