While we are updating one of the application table with high number of concurrency(update) we started seeing TX wait on I_OBJ# and C_OBJ# (object id 2 and 3) as below. select * from gv$lock where request !=0; INST_ID SID TY ID1 ID2 LMODE REQUEST CTIME BLOCK ---------- -------- -- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 1 50 TX 2424846 2 0 6 519 0 1 116 TX 7733248 2 0 6 4 0 1 24 TX 7667720 3 0 6 16 0 1 110 TX 7798790 3 0 6 5 0 The above locks are increased by increasing the number of concurrency. SQL> select id2,count(*) from gv$lock where lmode=6 and id2 in (2,3) group by id2; ID2 COUNT(*) ---------- ---------- 2 132 3 132 132, is it a limit to acquire number of TX locks on I_OBJ# and C_OBJ#? Thanks in advance. Sami
