Interesting, I didn't know about that.

It won't however, unlock a table.

What it will do is prevent DDL on the
table by disabling the use of exclusive
locks on the table.

20:17:08 jkstill_at_ts01 SQL> alter table x modify ( x not null ); alter table x modify ( x not null )
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00069: cannot acquire lock -- table locks disabled for X

The Fine Documentation erroneously states that it will prevent DML, which it does not.
