Re: Using Transaction with if-else in prepared statement

Concluded both methods shared:
1. one query per each call for using prepared statement
await pgPool.query('BEGIN;');
const sender = (await pgPool.query('SELECT coin from app_user where id =
$1;',[senderId])).rows[0];
if(sender.coin >= amount){
await pgPool.query('UPDATE app_user set coin = coin - $1 where id = $2;',[
coin, senderId]);
await pgPool.query('UPDATE app_user set coin = coin + $1 where id = $2;',[
coin, receiverId]);
await pgPool.query('INSERT INTO coin_history(sender_id, receiver_id,
amount) VALUES ($1, $2, $3)',[senderId, receiverId, coin]);
await pgPool.query('COMMIT;');
}else{
await pgPool.query('END;');
}
2. Use constraint

CREATE TABLE app_user(
id integer,
coin numeric CHECK (coin >= 0)
);
