agree with you about row-level locking. It was a major problem and Oracle solved it. THEN, once applications were programmed to use Oracle's method of row-level locking, it wasn't easy to switch to anyone else's implementation.

I don't follow you here. Regardless of how the database implements it, one requests the lock on the record. If the database turns this into a page-lock, it can produce contention problems impacting scalability or, if the programmer is sensitive to this, it may distort the schema design to force record per page or what-have-you. But, the program doesn't know.
