They are using explicit transaction block and also got he root cause. They to provide the commit explicitly.

Hi,

Application team was executing UPDATE statement in DB through Abinitio graph. When they trigger a job, a session is spawned in DB, in parallel another session is also spawned and executed the same UPDATE statement.

When I checked the locks in DB, I found that both the sessions are updating the same record. My concern is how UPDATE causes locking in DB.

Here is how MVCC works. If one session is updating a record, it should release the lock once it updated the row and other one should be able to acquire the row lock. Maybe I am wrong, please suggest how to handle this situation.
 
Do the applications use implicit autocommit, or do they use explicit transaction blocks?
