This level is different from Read Committed in that a query in a
repeatable read transaction sees a snapshot as of the start of the
first non-transaction-control statement in the
<emphasis>transaction</>, not as of the start
of the current query within the transaction. Thus, successive
of the current statement within the transaction. Thus, successive
<command>SELECT</command> commands within a <emphasis>single</>
transaction see the same data, i.e., they do not see changes made by
other transactions that committed after their own transaction started.
