I'm not sure which question you're asking here.
Postgresql and Oracle both use a system called MVCC, (multi-version
concurrency control). Docs on pgsql's implementation can be found here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=0&file=mvcc.html
Or do you mean transactions?
Or do you mean things like multi-valued databases?
