Detailed Description

Abstract transaction base class: bracket transactions on the database.

Use a dbtransaction-derived object such as "work" (transaction<>) to enclose operations on a database in a single "unit of work." This ensures that the whole series of operations either succeeds as a whole or fails completely. In no case will it leave half-finished work behind in the database.

Once processing on a transaction has succeeded and any changes should be allowed to become permanent in the database, call commit(). If something has gone wrong and the changes should be forgotten, call abort() instead. If you do neither, an implicit abort() is executed at destruction time.

It is an error to abort a transaction that has already been committed, or to commit a transaction that has already been aborted. Aborting an already aborted transaction or committing an already committed one is allowed, to make error handling easier. Repeated aborts or commits have no effect after the first one.

Database transactions are not suitable for guarding long-running processes. If your transaction code becomes too long or too complex, consider ways to break it up into smaller ones. Unfortunately there is no universal recipe for this.

The actual operations for committing/aborting the backend transaction are implemented by a derived class. The implementing concrete class must also call close() from its destructor.
