我们都知道ORACLE不会发生锁升级，锁对于ORACLE来说并不是稀缺资源，为什么DML lock对于ORACLE来说不是稀缺资源，下面来寻找答案。
SQL> select * from emp where sal>2999;
EMPNO ENAME JOB MGR HIREDATE SAL COMM DEPTNO

SQL> update emp set job='ANALYST' where sal>2999;-----此处更新3行，那三行就会被lock
3 rows updated
SQL> select dump(job,'16') from emp where sal>2999;
DUMP(JOB,'16')

SQL> alter system dump datafile 5 block 204;
系统已更改。
我现在省略一些无关信息，贴出主要的DUMP信息

由此，我们知道ORACLE中的TX -row lock是记录在 block中的，它不像其他数据库那样将lock记录在内存中，避免因为内存资源不足发生锁升级，在ORACLE中，锁开销是很小很小的。
