Multiple "begin work"s obviously >(and correctly) are unsuccessful and return an error. You will have to use a set of functions called, perhaps, begin_work, commit_work, rollback_work, and in_transaction to handle transaction start and end. Maybe you also need a function cbegin_work to begin work if not already in transaction. If you use it, you need to be confident that you know when the transaction will be terminated -- cbegin_work should return a flag indicating whether it started a transaction, and if it did start it, the routine should also terminate the transaction.
