Hi Listers,


Oracle 9.2.0.8 on Solaris 9

In one of my production database session was long running.  Session was 
killed last night. Since then session is marked as KILLED in v$session. 
This killed session is holding locks on few tables and causing further 
problems.

USED_UBLK in v$transaction is constant at 287 since late last night.

I identified unix process and killed at os level two hours ago, still 
session would not go away. (os process is gone already)

What else should I be looking at? How do I get rid of KILLED session?

I do not have luxury to recycle database.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mayen
