rename and BMC backup

2002-12-05 Thread Gurelei
Hi all.

Yeaterday we were tyring to rename a table. The rename
command failed with 

ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT
specified

Could that error somewhow be a result of a hot backup
running at the same time via BMC. I know that the hot
backup doesn't lock table for DML, but this is a DDL
command. Is there any scenario that can explain this
error by the BMC backup? Our version of Oracle is
8.1.7. Afaik no transactions after the table being
renamed have been running at the time

thanks

Gene

No, backups do not lock anything inside the database; it has absolutely
nothing to do with backups or BMC.  A user's database session was performing
DML or DDL on the table, plain and simple.  Database sessions can persist
after the user session has been killed, detected by querying V$SESSION.
