Michael,

thanks for your response.
I meant the following situation. Transaction#1 updates a row#1 in block#1 of a table. 
In order to do
it allocates a ITL slot.
Transaction#2 updates a row#100 in block#100 of the same table and also allocates 
transaction slot.
If there is no free space to allocate additional ITL slots in these blocks then other 
transactions
can't modify these blocks until transaction#1 and transaction#2 do commit or rollback. 
Then
transaction#1 tryes to update row#101 in the block#100 and transaction2 tryes to
update row#2 in the block#1. Both transaction have to wait because there are no empty 
ITL slots. You
can see that there are no share rows and each transaction updates its own rows.
How Oracle resolve such case?
