No need to apologize. Not everyone has to know perfect English to talk here.

Stop reading the manual. Get yourself an evaluation copy of ORACLE, get it running and try out all the possible combinations of locking between two/three users. You'll learn 10 times faster what really works. THEN, go back to the manual and learn the subtleties.

BTW, you don't HAVE to place 1 million row-locks in ORACLE. Although you'd be surprised how fast that is versus how slow in sql server. Another falacy caused by "reading the manuals".
