So, what does the query statement look like?

Well, an appropriate ODBC driver would do so...but this isn't to do with
transactions. It relates first to the structure of the output produced by
your SELECT statement and after that, the way your data access interface
implements a "live" recordset (or even, *IF* it does..).

An essential part of solving a problem is describing it adequately. As a
minimum, you'd need to provide the query statement and the definition of
the underlying table(s), including the key constraints. Also say which
ODBC driver you are using.
