Timestamp on Oracle database

On the Oracle database, is a timestamp automatically generated whenever a user makes inserts/updates to a table? If so, where is this timestamp stored?

I'm trying to develop a client application that accesses an Oracle database... I need to make sure that no 2 users are modifying the same record simultaneously (thats why I need to check the timestamp). I read somewhere that one way is to have 3 additional rows in each table: 1. TransactionUserName
2. TransactionTime ( I guess that's something like generating your own timestamp?)
3. TransactionFlag
Apart from this method, are there any alternatives? Received on Wed Dec 02 1998 - 18:46:16 CST
