Does any know if when an SQL is being done in a program, does it lock by
Rows or Records.

Marie,

In the case you site, there is no difference between the two terms.  A Row
is a Record.  If the rows are retrieved for update, then yes they are being
locked.  All access paths with immediate  maintenance indexes will also be
siezed long enough the the key updates to be done if there are any.
