Read Only Transactions

R_M
Hi:

I am new to Oracle and have a probably trivial concurrency question.

How is an ROT implemented ?

Suppose I create an ROT
and then issue the following commands:
select * from table A where colx=3
select * from table A where colx != 3
select * from table B
select * from table A where colx=2
select * from table B

Is the contents of tables A and B saved aside so any concurrent update
transactions succeed ?
Or are tables A and B blocking updates until I close the ROT.

Thanks

Ricardo

Kind of.
Changes to the tables are "saved" so you continue to be presented
with data as it existed at the start of your ROT.

NO blocking occurs.
In Oracle Readers NEVER block writers!
