Ram, I have not observed this. When the session is "hanging", do you know on what it is waiting? - You may want to query V$SESSION_WAIT to see this. Has this query works on any of the other databases you may have? Shiva On 1/3/07, Ram Raman <veeeraman@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi, I am trying to query dba_waiters and dba_blockers table logged in as sysdba and the queries hang. Oracle v9206. I issued "select * from dba_waiters" and wait for 5, 6 minutes and then killed the query. Just for testing it, once I waited 30 minutes after issuing the query. There was no response, so I killed it. Has anyone observed this behavior before. Thanks.
