Export db.Begin function

[sergeyt]

This one easy to do and allows controlling transaction inside application.

Hi @sergeyt, Sorry about the delayed response.

I chose not to include export db.Begin and db.Commit/Rollback in favor of using the managed functions db.Update/View. Using the managed functions minimize risk of deadlocks and I didn't see an advantage with exporting. But maybe I'm overlooking something.

Hi @tidwall, I agree that the use case to use db.Begin directly is uncommon. But it might be used in the library like my nosql where the underlying storage is abstracted over unified interface. Initially I've wrapped boltdb that has explicit db.Begin function. Anyway I think it is still feasible to implement nosql interface over BuntDB API.

upper.io also has Tx transaction interface.

Hi @sergeyt,

I finally got around to exporting the those functions. Let me know if you run into any problems. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi @tidwall. Great, thank you!
