Sounds like you have run into the much annoying problem of missing foreign key indexes. I would check that out first I think.
-----Original Message----- Mascranghe Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 4:33 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi all We are running on 8.0.5.2.1 database. Once we had a database creash and was restored. After that the users have been experiencing locks. What happens is when one user locks some rows, other users are also getting stuck. But they are not locking the same rows. We are looking at the code to see whether any unusual things are there. One of the programs in the system uses DBMS_ALERT. How can we find more information - what rows are being locked, and any other relevant info about locks? Is there any ways in which a row locks turns out to be a table lock ?
