## Description 

This is a easy to use way of creating database transactions that always commit/rollback and can retry on temporary
failures such as disconnect, deadlocks, serialization issues, or snapshot age.

## DBIish::Transaction

```raku
DBIish::Transaction.new(:connection, :retry, :max-retry-count, :begin, :rollback, :commit);
```

### connection

Either a DBDish::Connection, or a Callable which returns a DBDish::Connection. If a Callable is provided transactions
 may be retried if disconnect occurs when :retry is specified.
 
### begin

```raku
{  $_.do(q{BEGIN})  } 
```

By default this is a Callable which performs the simplest begin statement. You may want to modify transaction behaviour.
Serializable Isolation level is highly recommended on supported products as this mode eliminates many potential
errors due to otherwise silent race conditions.

```raku
my $t = DBIish::Transaction.new(:retry,
    connection => { DBIish.connect('Pg', :$database) },
    begin => { $_.do(q{ BEGIN ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE } ) }
);
```

### rollback

```raku
{  $_.do(q{ROLLBACK})  } 
```

By default this is a Callable which performs the simplest rollback statement.

NOTE: `AND CHAIN` type modifications will require you to provide some non-trivial logic in the `begin` callable.

### after-rollback(Int $transaction-retry-attempt)

Callable which will be called after a rollback is attempted. This is useful for resetting state for another attempt at
the DB transaction work, or for logging/debugging purposes.

### commit

```raku
{  $_.do(q{COMMIT})  } 
```

By default this is a Callable which performs the simplest commit statement.  

NOTE: `AND CHAIN` type modifications will require you to provide some non-trivial logic in the `begin` callable.

### retry

Catches errors [marked temporary](https://github.com/raku-community-modules/DBIish#statement-exceptions) by DBIish. The
transaction in progress will be rolled back and a new transaction started. The function body is expected to be
idempotent for non-database work as it may be executed multiple times.

If `:connection` is provided a function, this will retry on a database connectivity issue as well by establishing
a new connection and attempting to execute the transaction body.

### max-retry-count

Number of times to retry the work after a temporary failure before giving up.

3 by default.


## DBIish::Savepoint

```raku
DBIish::Transaction.new(:connection, :begin, :rollback, :commit);
```

### connection

A DBDish::Connection with a currently active transaction.

### begin

```raku
{  $_.do(q{SAVEPOINT <random name>})  } 
```

By default this is a Callable which performs the simplest `SAVEPOINT` statement. A random name is selected.

### rollback

```raku
{  $_.do(q{ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT <random name>})  } 
```

By default this is a Callable which performs the simplest `ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT` statement.

### after-rollback()

Callable which will be called after a rollback is attempted. This is useful for resetting state for another attempt,
or for logging/debugging purposes.

### release

```raku
{  $_.do(q{RELEASE SAVEPOINT})  } 
```

By default this is a Callable which performs the simplest `RELEASE SAVEPOINT` statement. This free's the savepoint
related resources on the database side.
