I am creating a
stored proc that will export a tablespace. One task it needs to perform is to
place the tablespace(s) in read only mode to make a copy. Based upon the
application and proc logic, there should not be any transactions against objects
in the ts. However, if there are, the ALTER TABLESPACE command will wait until
the transaction is completed. I would rather have the ALTER TABLESPACE command
fail immediately. If I cannot do that, I would like to be able to test for locks
on objects in the tablespace (figured that one out, but it is rather
kludgy).
Is there a method to
force an immediate failure of ALTER TABLESPACE <tsname> READ ONLY if it
cannot be immediatly completed?
Is there a clean
method/proc to determine if the ALTER TABLESPACE command will
work?
