Perhaps this is a rudimentary question but I haven't found any good info on this topic. Would someone please explain the difference between a library cache lock and a library cache pin?
Is the first simply a dictionary lock on a physical object (i.e. table) whereas the second is a dictionary lock on a piece of code (i.e. procedure, function, trigger)? According to what I've read, I can query x$kgllk where kgllkreq=0 to find the library object locks in the database. How do I know if the lock is a library cache lock vs. a library cache pin, simply by inference due to the type of object? If I perform a systemstate dump and see 'mode=S' under a process, does that mean that the process has a 'share' lock on the object? If so, I'm confused as to why I don't see a corresponding lock in v$lock. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks VERY much in advance. -Walt -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Walter K INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
