You miss my point. It's written into RDB$FORMATS/RDB$RELATIONS but not 
committed because transaction is still active. So concurrent 
transactions cannot see these changes, accordingly to your versioning 
approach. But VIO_get_current() must see them. Do you suggest to use 
"dirty read" in such cases?
