ACE Director Alum Daniel Morgan, founder of Morgan's Library, is scheduling
complimentary technical Workshops on Database Security for the first 30
Oracle Database customers located anywhere in North America, EMEA, LATAM, or
APAC that send an email to
asra_us@oracle.com. Request a Workshop for
your organization today.
Purpose
Workspace Management (versioning): The ability to create separate logical workspaces for performing DML operations that, in a single workspace, would be logically inconsistent.

table '<schema_name>.<table_name>' is not version enabled
The following have been found in Oracle scripts and likely represent a class of built-in exception-related constants.
Carry-forward mode locks rows in the current workspace with the same locking mode as the corresponding rows in the parent workspace.
E
Exclusive
S
(shared) mode locks the rows in the parent workspace and the corresponding rows in the current workspace; however,
other users in the current workspace (but no users in the parent workspace) can change values in these rows.
VE
(version-exclusive) mode locks the rows in the previous version and the corresponding rows in the current version such that only the user that set the lock can change the values;
no other users (in any workspace) can change the values.
WE
Workspace-exclusive mode locks the rows in the previous version and the corresponding rows in the current version such that only the user that set the lock can change the values in the current workspace.
Other users in other workspaces can change the values.
