Hi!

At least with releases earlier than 10g, running alter system kill
session is not enough, the (unix) process can still remain, so you
need to add a little piece of java stored procedure to performa a kill
-9 pid.
In 10g it works better and we barely see the need to kill -9.

We have a web page (using mod_plsql) where users can login and see
their own db sessions (plus other info), then they can kill them at
will . We are implementing now the concept of power users that can
kill other db sessions.


regards.
