Ambiguous question, really.

Each row will have its lock byte set.
Each table block involved will have one ITL entry used to identify the locking transaction
There will be a TM lock (mode 3, id1 = table's object_id) displayed in v$lock to show that there is an active transaction modifying the table. There will be a TX lock displayed in v$lock which will report the transaction table entry from the undo segment header being used by the transaction

Hello,

I have a table with four rows. I issue the sql statement: update table set name = 'test'; this will update 4 rows. Will Oracle create 4 locks one for each row or 1 lock for the 4 rows?

Thanks,

Paul
