Hi, Is it possible to find out the actual number of locked rows? For example: SQL> desc test Name Null? Type ----------------- -------- ------------ F NUMBER(38) SQL> select * from test; F ---------- 1 1 1 2 3 5 rows selected. SQL> update test set f=f where f=2 or f=3; 2 rows updated. SQL> Is there a view I can query to find out that 2 rows are locked? v$locked_object will let me see that there is 1 table locked and find out which table it is. v$lock will show 1 * TM lock and 1 * TX lock. Putting this another way, if I use bitmap indexes and update a field in the index, I may lock more than 1 row (Oracle will use bitmap-segment-level locking). How can I find out how many rows are locked in this case. For a specific case I guess I should find out how many rows are in a single bitmap-segment but I haven't yet investigated how to do this.
