Dear all,

If we insert a row in a database table then the new row stays at database buffer cache in SGA (until commit), right?. The target table is not affected (before commit). The new row is saved after commit.

I saw a concepts at Sybex oracle 10g oca book (Page 406) as follows:

" INSERT statements use little space in an undo segment; only the pointer to the new row is stored in the undo tablespace. To undo an INSERT statement, the pointer locates the new row and deletes it from the table if the transaction is rolled back. "

My question is If the row is not saved at table before commit, if we issue rollback then how oracle delete from table? I think the new row is deleted from database buffer cache in SGA.

Hope you all help me to understand the concept.

regards,

Morad

What occurs when INSERT changes more rows than can be contained within RAM?
