RE: How does Oracle handles "long transaction" problem?

No.
In Oracle a transaction can be as large (or as small) as your application code/logic/process dictates. Transactions in Oracle are always implicit. There is no 'begin transaction', 'end transaction' concept. A 'commit' (implicit or explicit) or 'rollback' completes one transaction. If you have Thomas Kyte's book (Expert one-on-on Oracle), Chapter 4 will tell you everything about Oracle Transactions that there is to know, and more.

Working with Informix, we have something called long transaction. Do we have similar problem with Oracle?
