Below query to check locks in oracle database ( Single Instance)
SELECT inst_id,DECODE(request,0,'Holder: ','Waiter: ')||sid sess,
id1, id2, lmode, request, type
FROM V$LOCK
WHERE (id1, id2, type) IN
(SELECT id1, id2, type FROM V$LOCK WHERE request>0)
ORDER BY id1, request
;
In case of RAC,below query is used check locks in oracle database
SELECT inst_id,DECODE(request,0,'Holder: ','Waiter: ')||sid sess,
id1, id2, lmode, request, type
FROM GV$LOCK
WHERE (id1, id2, type) IN
(SELECT id1, id2, type FROM gV$LOCK WHERE request>0)
ORDER BY id1, request
;
We can also use below query to check locks
Query to find out waiting session and holding sessions in Oracle
set linesize 1000
column waiting_session heading 'WAITING|SESSION'
column holding_session heading 'HOLDING|SESSION'
column lock_type format a15
column mode_held format a15
column mode_requested format a15
select
waiting_session,
holding_session,
lock_type,
mode_held,
mode_requested,
lock_id1,
lock_id2
from
dba_waiters
/
Below query can be used to find the library cache lock in single instance
select /*+ all_rows */ w1.sid waiting_session,
h1.sid holding_session,
w.kgllktype lock_or_pin,
w.kgllkhdl address,
decode(h.kgllkmod, 0, 'None', 1, 'Null', 2, 'Share', 3, 'Exclusive',
'Unknown') mode_held,
decode(w.kgllkreq, 0, 'None', 1, 'Null', 2, 'Share', 3, 'Exclusive',
'Unknown') mode_requested
from dba_kgllock w, dba_kgllock h, v$session w1, v$session h1
where
(((h.kgllkmod != 0) and (h.kgllkmod != 1)
and ((h.kgllkreq = 0) or (h.kgllkreq = 1)))
and
(((w.kgllkmod = 0) or (w.kgllkmod= 1))
and ((w.kgllkreq != 0) and (w.kgllkreq != 1))))
and w.kgllktype = h.kgllktype
and w.kgllkhdl = h.kgllkhdl
and w.kgllkuse = w1.saddr
and h.kgllkuse = h1.saddr
/
Another query which can be used to see the locked objects
column sid_ser format a12 heading 'session,|serial#';
column username format a12 heading 'os user/|db user';
column process format a9 heading 'os|process';
column spid format a7 heading 'trace|number';
column owner_object format a35 heading 'owner.object';
column locked_mode format a13 heading 'locked|mode';
column status format a8 heading 'status';
select
substr(to_char(l.session_id)||','||to_char(s.serial#),1,12) sid_ser,
substr(l.os_user_name||'/'||l.oracle_username,1,12) username,
l.process,
p.spid,
substr(o.owner||'.'||o.object_name,1,35) owner_object,
decode(l.locked_mode,
1,'No Lock',
2,'Row Share',
3,'Row Exclusive',
4,'Share',
5,'Share Row Excl',
6,'Exclusive',null) locked_mode,
substr(s.status,1,8) status
from
v$locked_object l,
all_objects o,
v$session s,
v$process p
where
l.object_id = o.object_id
and l.session_id = s.sid
and s.paddr = p.addr
and s.status != 'KILLED'
/
Once you have find the blocking session and decided to kill that session ,we can use below query to generate the kill session sql
select 'alter system kill session '''||sid||','||serial#||''';' from v$session where sid=&1;
