After implementing UNDO operation (we have only REDO now)
transactions will roll back their changes on abort and so
free space occupied by inserted rows.
How to re-use freed space (ie how to maintain information about
blocks available for insertion of new rows) is another issue,
of course, but anyway - space must be freed first.
