Re: q: diffrence between row_shared and row_exclusive lock ?

sybrand,
thnx for the answer.
row share: others can read
rows exclusive: access is completely blocked

when I tested this in sqlplus whether lmode =2(row share) or 3(row share exclusive) does not make any difference. In both cases updater does not block reader. If it is so,
there must be something else differs between the two.
