Figure 6-37. Shown is a data block (1,75847) dumped in the midst of three concurrent transactions. There are three active transactions updating a total of four rows.

* Xid: This is the transaction ID, which is a concatenation of the transaction table ID (in Figure 6-37, 0003), the transaction's transaction table's slot number (in Figure 6-37, 00d), and the sequence number (in Figure 6-37, 0000318). The transaction ID is important, as it is used to ensure seemingly related undo information is truly related.

* Uba: This is the undo block address. This points directly to the transaction's most recent change undo and is necessary for rolling back a transaction and also for read consistency (cloned buffer construction) purposes.
