Yes, when you're doing an insert in append mode, Oracle takes an exclusive
lock on the table and inserts rows above high-water-mark, without raising
the highwatermark itself. HWM is risen to appropriate position when you
commit, so when you rollback, the HWM is just left where it was before.
I don't see a reason why the same session shouldn't be able to do several
consecutive direct load inserts on a table, but I might have missed
something, or Oracle just hasn't implemented this improvement yet...
