Re: enqueue waits for an INSERT statement

PK constraints or UNIQUE indexes ?

Normally "enqueue" shows up for collision on index entries on insert, eg

SQL> create table t (x int PRIMARY KEY);

Table created.

SQL> insert into t(x) values (10);

1 row created.

ANOTHER SESSION> select sid from v$mystat where rownum=1;

      SID
----------
       10

ANOTHER SESSION> insert into t(x) select rownum from dual connect by
level <= 11;
(hangs)

SQL> select EVENT from v$session_wait where sid = 10;

EVENT
--------------------------------------------------------
enqueue

Inittrans for the big table is 1. Max trans 255.
The big table has 3 indexes. The inseret is expected to be an ongoing
process. We want to tune it to run faster. PCT_FREE and PCT_USED: 10 and 40.
THanks.

main reason I am trying this approach without /*+APPEND*/ hint. This
database does NOT have partitioning.
