Max no. of Update SQL statements before a commit

Question

In Oracle 10.2 what is maximum number of UPDATE statements that I can execute before issuing commit.
If maximum is there either by no. of SQL statements or size in KB, what will happen if I go above this number.
Thanks in advance for your response.
