My apologies for posting what is almost certainly somewhat of a repeat question but I have searched and attempted
everythingI can think of and cannot figure it out myself. 
The basic question is… Is it possible to get a scrollable cursor that, within a transaction, can insert/update/delete
rowsand see those changes? 
Why you ask? Because I am implementing the JDBC 4.1 spec and it (optionally) provides this ability and I’d like to
provideit if possible.  I thought just using a scrollable cursor with the isolation-level set to repeatable-read would
dothe trick but it still seems to see no changes (inserts/updates/deletes). 
Effectively I want roughly this sequence of events to work.
CREATE TABLE test (val text);
BEGIN;  # Could include ISOLATION LEVEL REPEATABLE READ
DECLARE c1 CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM test;
FETCH ABSOLUTE 1;     # Returns No Row
INSERT INTO test VALUES (‘1');
INSERT INTO test VALUES (‘2');
INSERT INTO test VALUES (‘3');
FETCH ABSOLUTE 1;  # Returns “1”
FETCH NEXT:               # Returns “2"
DELETE FROM test WHERE CURRENT OF c1;  # Deletes “2”
FETCH ABSOLUTE 1;  # Returns “1”
FETCH NEXT;               # Returns “3”
UPDATE test SET val=‘4' WHERE CURRENT OF c1;
FETCH RELATIVE 0;    # Returns “4”
COMMIT;
Thanks!
