It is a very common pattern that some function needs to access the
database and wants to wrap all the actions into one transaction.
The advantage of a transaction is that it is ACID:
- atomic
- consistent
- isolated
- durable
In Go it is required to request a new transaction, execute functionality
on it and handle rollback or commit of this transaction based on the
success of the operation.
All this and the error handling can be written down in the
model.Transaction() function exactly once. The full signature of it is:
func Transaction(f func(*sql.Tx) error) error
It requires a function or closure passed as argument which takes the
transaction (*sql.Tx) and returns an error which might be nil.
This is very generic. It is applied to:
- injecting test data
- database migrations
- data read requests
- data write requests

This removes the redundant setup of a database/sql.Tx in each HTTP
handler.

This interface will allow to implement generic functions based on the
Object interface which covers the four CRUD methods create, read, update
and delete.
This should be possible for every object handled by the server.
