tiConcurrency isolates your transaction from work done by any other
transaction. Even if another user commits work on the same record, your
concurrency transaction will not see it. When your transaction tries to
post its change, it receives a locking conflict error because the committed
state of the database is now different to what it was when your concurrency
transaction began.

Note that your cached updates are not connected back to the database until
you call ApplyUpdates - that's the purpose of caching the set.
