Put it this way. Suppose your RequestLive query is

SELECT <field-list> from employee
where last_name like 'Jo%'

Then, you insert a row with everything filled, including the last_name
'Smith'; then post, commit and refresh. Are you therefore thinking that
this record was not inserted, because it "disappeared" on refresh?

If it didn't except, it was inserted. But it won't appear in the refreshed
dataset, because 'Smith' is not like 'Jo%'.
