Listers,

Playing around with dumping a block to determine rows which are locked. I
did an update to a single row in a table and did not commit. I dumped the
block. Here is the relevant info:

tab 0, row 0, @0x19c3
tl: 21 fb: --H-FL-- lb: 0x1 cc: 3

After rolling back and dumping the block, I get the following:

tab 0, row 0, @0x1977
tl: 27 fb: --H-FL-- lb: 0x0 cc: 3

It looks like to me that the "lb:" value indicates the presence of a lock on
the row -- 0x1 for a lock, 0x0 for not locked. I've been googling for a bit,
searching usenet, and the typical web sites for info on this and came up
empty handed. So, can anyone confirm this idea of lb: 0x0 meaning no lock
and 0x1 meaning the row is locked?

Also, there seems to be some differences in the block header info related to
ITL's:

Lock present:

 Itl           Xid                  Uba         Flag  Lck        Scn/Fsc
0x01   xid:  0x0002.018.00000482    uba: 0x0080c4a8.0340.0e  ----    1  fsc
0x0006.00000000

No lock:

 Itl           Xid                  Uba         Flag  Lck        Scn/Fsc
0x01   xid:  0x0001.037.000004c3    uba: 0x00800107.06dc.31  C---    0  scn
0x0000.00594c1b

Can I assume that Scn/Fsc value of non-zero means there is a lock? And last
but not least, any good info anywhere on reading block dumps?
