Is the application coming from a client? If so, sniff the packets and look for his DROP. That should be pretty conclusive. You can see the packets in a SQL*Net trace by setting TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT=16 in sqlnet.ora.
R> We have a developer here, installing a third party application, who claims R> one of his "delete campaign" process is hanging. I looked at the wait R> events, saw nothing, and asked him to politely to go look at the code. R> After much analysys, the developer now complains, that Oracle is not R> executing a drop table command at the end of the process, and hanging R> there. He claims he can drop the table from SQLPLUS. R> I asked him to rerun the process. I noticed no wait events for that session R> in v$session_wait when he claims the process is hanging. I see no DROP R> statements in the v$sqlarea. I did a 10046 trace, and the last statement in R> the trace file is a select statement. I looked at the sql addresses from R> v$session, linked it to v$sqlarea and the sql_text shows the same select R> statement as is seen in the trace file. I see no exclusive locks on the R> said table. I conclude that the application is not sending a DROP statement R> to Oracle for execution. He claims that cannot be the case.
