After you modify any data in the database,
only transaction that made these modifications can see them.
(including indirect modifications through triggers)

After you commit you transaction,
all Read Commited transactions can see new values.

If you want other Snapshot (a.k.a. Repeatable Read)
transactions to see changes, you must
first commit the changes,
then start the snapshot transaction
