Do you have the Oracle manual set?? There used to be, at least in Oracle 7, a good high level discussion of the Multiversioning Method used by oracle. Last time I researched this, only one other database Borland's (now Inprise) InterBase used this method.

Also the DBA or system manuals may have more info. on this than the user manuals. have you tried their web page?

  good luck,
