First of all, I'd like to thank you all who contributed with this thread.
After some tests, last Monday I found the problem: there was a bug in the
stored procedure that was leading to a endless loop.
The most important things I have learned:
- the difference between -2, 0 e >0 in v$session_wait.wait_time for online
monitoring;
- probably you are not hitting a bug;
- don't trust developers when they say they have debugged the code and it's
still freezing without explanation. Debug it yourself.
Best regards,
Luis
