When a resource relating to a session is deleted, notably a target, host, or auth_token, the corresponding sessions are marked as canceled via a database trigger that calls the cancel_session function. This function was performing a select as part of the insert call to ensure that it would not attempt to insert a session_sate of canceled if it was an invalid state transition. However, since this function was first introduced, there has been additional constraints added that would prevent an invalid state transition. In addition, performing a select as part of an insert increases the chances for contention with other queries that interact with the session_state table, especially since a large number of sessions and session_state rows can be included in a single transaction when things like auth_tokens or targets get deleted. Now, the cancel_function will perform the insert, and catch any of the potential violations, allowing the query to continue without needing to perform the select, thus reduction the potential for contention.

Just some high-level usage highlights to get you started. Read the godocs for a complete list of capabilities and their documentation.
dialect = postgres.New(postgres.Config{
DSN: connectionUrl},
)
conn, _ := gorm.Open(dialect, &gorm.Config{})
// Db implements both the Reader and Writer interfaces
rw := Db{Tx: conn}
// There are writer methods like: Create, Update and Delete
// that will write Gorm struct to the db. These writer methods
// all support options for writing Oplog entries for the
// caller: WithOplog(yourWrapper, yourMetadata)
// the caller is responsible for the transaction life cycle of the writer
// and if an error is returned the caller must decide what to do with
// the transaction, which is almost always a rollback for the caller.
err = rw.Create(context.Background(), user)
// There are reader methods like: LookupByPublicId,
// LookupByName, SearchBy, LookupBy, etc
// which will lookup resources for you and scan them into your Gorm struct
err = rw.LookupByPublicId(context.Background(), foundUser)
// There's reader ScanRows that facilitates scanning rows from
// a query into your Gorm struct

}
// DoTx is a writer function that wraps a TxHandler
// in a retryable transaction. You simply implement a
// TxHandler that does your writes and hand the handler
// to DoTx, which will wrap the writes in a retryable
// transaction with the retry attempts and backoff
// strategy you specify via options.

context.Background(),
10, // ten retries
ExpBackoff{}, // exponential backoff

// the TxHandler updates the user's friendly name
return w.Update(context.Background(), user, []string{"FriendlyName"},
// write oplogs for this update
