Insert/Select to an empty table uses block-at-a-time processing with one transient journal entry per AMP and has instantaneous rollback
for aborted Insert-Select statements.
An update or a row inserted into a populated table has a corresponding entry in the TJ for every inserted/updated row. A 'write' of the
inserted/updated row and of the TJ entry takes place on a row-by-row basis. Should the transaction abort for any reason, all
inserts/updates are deleted/updated one row at a time by scanning the TJ for rowids.
