I used to work with Entity Framework and made use of the Unit of Work pattern to store all changes during a request and commit them in a single transaction. Right now I am writing an Umbraco package which frequently uses the Umbraco code API to store or delete data from the database. For example the RelationService. Umbraco automatically saves changes when I call RelationService.Relate or RelationService.Delete.

I want to temporarily store these queries and execute them all in a single transaction when I want to commit my changes. Is this possible at all?

I see the RelationService internally uses Unit of Work and immediately commits changes. Can I somehow wrap another UoW around it and surpress commits made by the RelationService? How can I access the Unit of Work?

Umbraco RelationService:

 using (var uow = UowProvider.GetUnitOfWork())
        {
            var repository = RepositoryFactory.CreateRelationRepository(uow);
            if (uow.Events.DispatchCancelable(SavingRelation, this, new SaveEventArgs<IRelation>(relation)))
            {
                uow.Commit();
                return relation;
            }

            repository.AddOrUpdate(relation);
            uow.Commit();
            uow.Events.Dispatch(SavedRelation, this, new SaveEventArgs<IRelation>(relation, false));
            return relation;
        }
