What is a "fast object checkpoint"? I have script which has to update ~60M rows. I had to kill it and re-start it. The new incarnation did not wait for a bunch of TX locks, it was waiting for the following event: ENQ: KO - fast object checkpoint Surprisingly enough, this lock was held by the CKPT process, not PMON, as I've expected. Very few undo blocks were actually consumed in v$undostat. My question is what is "fast object checkpoint" and is there a new method of reclaiming resources held by murdered transactions? Is it documented anywhere? -- Mladen Gogala http://www.mgogala.com -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
