Hi:

8173 running on Solaris 2.8.

Does any one have experience running oracle's "ctxsrv" as background process
to alleviate some locking issues? We are experiencing session piling up when
sometimes Oracle Intermadia index is being built (when two sessions were
updating different rows in the same table). When it happened, I ran a query
and saw something like this:



       SID OBJECT     USERNAME
---------- ---------- ------------------------------
IMAGE                                            LOCK_TYPE
------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
MODE_HELD
----------------------------------------
MODE_REQUESTED
----------------------------------------
        29 DR$WAITING ISI
(TNS V1-V3)                                      DML
Row-X (SX)
None

       SID OBJECT     USERNAME
---------- ---------- ------------------------------
IMAGE                                            LOCK_TYPE
------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
MODE_HELD
----------------------------------------
MODE_REQUESTED
----------------------------------------
        29 TEMPTEXT   ISI
(TNS V1-V3)                                      DML
Row-X (SX)
None


       SID OBJECT     USERNAME
---------- ---------- ------------------------------
IMAGE                                            LOCK_TYPE
------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
MODE_HELD
----------------------------------------
MODE_REQUESTED
----------------------------------------
        29 DR$TEMPTEX ISI
(TNS V1-V3)                                      DML
Row-X (SX)
None

...


Usually after a few minutes, everthing is back to normal. My guess is that
Oracle is somehow trying to build context index and it takes long time to do
that (don't know why). I saw from the oracle doc perhaps
running ctxsrv at the background would help.  So what is your experience of
running ctxsrv?

TIA.
