Jared, I always kill the Oracle session first. So could you elaborate why
you use 'kill -9'.

TIA

It could be that pmon is rolling back the transaction.

It could also be that pmon is never going to clean it up, which sometimes
happens when killing an active transaction. 

I am a strong advocate of using 'orakill' on NT/Win2k and 'kill -9' on 
Unix to kill the process, rather than killing the session in Oracle.

If your session has still not been cleaned up, you'll understand my
position, as you will now have to bounce your database.

Check to see if the session is holding a lock, if so, and an unreasonable
amount of time has passed for pmon to do its cleanup, then you likely
need to bounce the database.

on


Hi. 

Here is my situation. I have killed an ORacle
transaction. Oracle came back with "session marked for
kill" and the status of the session is now "Killed".
I presume that the reason is that Oracle needs to roll
back the changes made. Can I confirm whether this is
indeed the case via some system tables?
