At this point the rows exist only in the client buffer. The error occurs
because you cannot "update" rows that you have simply begun to insert.

Set the transaction's PostRetaining to true; and post the inserts before
you attempt to update.

This question really asks, "Is there any way to update rows before they
exist in the database?" Of course the answer is "No". I wonder why you
need to update rows that have just been inserted, anyway.
