select * from trx_table order by id;
The effect of trx_1's transaction is reversed with almost all of trx_2's changes still in place. The problem is the row identified by id=3 which (probably) should have tx=Three (uppercase T) as trx_2 changed that row after trx_1 changed it.
        ID TX
---------- ----------
         1 one
         2 two
         3 three
         4 FOUR
         7 SEVEN
