Re: How to figure out which statements are locking row in one table?

And of course I answered without thinking; those queries will display the blocked SQL, not the blocking SQL.  Sorry about that...

Neither ASH nor AWR captures data from V$LOCK, so I don't think the blocking SQL can be figured out using those histories, so it can only be captured in real-time with something like...

   select   s.sql_id, count(*) cnt
   from     v$session s, v$lock l
   where    s.sid = l.sid
   and      l.type = 'TX'
   and      l.block > 0
   group by s.sql_id
   order by cnt desc;


This doesn't pin it down to an object, but if the list of SQL_IDs returned isn't too long, perhaps it can be inferred?

Hope that helps?

select SQL_ID, count(*) from V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY where EVENT = 'enq: TX - row lock wait' group by SQL_ID order by 2 desc;

...or...

select SQL_ID, count(*) from V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY where CURRENT_OBJ# = 93432 group by SQL_ID order by 2 desc;

...to find what's locking on the MESSAGE table PART_3 partition, for example?

I have a problem: my application is doing a lot of locking. I got the segments that are being locked from an AWR report:


      Segments by Row Lock Waits

  * % of Capture shows % of row lock waits for each top segment

How do I determine the SQL statements that are doing all the locking?  I even considered locking the table in the exclusive mode and then finding the sessions waiting for the lock.. Obviously almost all the row lock waits are concentrated in a single partition. A part of the application needs to be rewritten but I need to figure out which part.  Any ideas how to get the SQL statement(s) doing the locking?
