Types of Latches and Locks

--------------------------
Transaction locks, row-level locks
buffer locks
data dictionary locks
enques
library cache
Lock Modes
----------
Simple/compound Objects:
exclusive - session needs modify simple object
shared - session needs to view a simple object
null - if session caches info about object, null lock is placed
on it, will act as trigger if object is invalidated
Compound Objects Only:
sub-shared - shared subobject (same rows in a table)
Ex: cursor cur1 is select * from test where x=20
for update;
sub-exclusive - session needs exclusive lock on part of subobjec
t
shared sub-exclusive - session needs exclusive lock on part of subobjec
t
shared sub-exclusive - session needs exclusive lock on some rows, share
d lock on whole table

dba_locks
dba_dml_locks
dba_ddl_locks
dba_blockers
dba_waiters
DML Locks:
----------
select session_id, owner, name, mode_held from dba_dml_locks;
Waiting session for a Lock:
---------------------------
select waiting_session, holding_session, lock_type, mode_held from dba_waiters;
--- select init_trans, max_trans from dba_tables where table_name='EMP' and owne
r='SCOTT';

Hi Venkat,
Get the details of these information of SID: 469*470 (sid, serial#, logon_time,
blocker, blocked_object) and pass to Albert

Zhang
