But recently i learned that we can force other sessions to rollback or commit. For doing that we force any transaction privilege. ROLLBACK FORCE 'transaction_id' ; transaction_id can be fetched from dba_2pc_pending view. documented@/oracle_9i/doc/server.901/a90117/ds_txnma.htm HTH Anjul On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 12:50 AM, Petr Novak <Petr.Novak@xxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:Petr.Novak@xxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote: Hi, I have following problem: update on table waits for lock (only one row tested) , there is no lock on the table in v$LOCK, analyze table validate structure gets ORA-00054, no rows in db_2pc_pending or pending_sessions , but there is one day old entry in V$TRANSACTION and V$LOCKED_OBJECT shows lock held by nonexistent session. Is there some possibility how to delete this entry from v$transaction without restarting the DB ? with dbms_transaction (I have no rights on it) ?
