Hi 3 questions please, if you can lend me your time one moment, 1. I have a confusion, locks are at block level or row level 2. Where is the overhead if they are in the same block, and I lock at the same time all rows in the same block? 3. how can I know in which block is a row? Thanks :) Juan Carlos Reyes Pacheco OCP -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
