Hi all, I am writing about a strange problem I am seeing in a 9204 database. There are only 2 sessions in the database (session A is a load process, the second session was me logged in as the system user using TOAD). Somehow TOAD is locking out session A when it is trying to do an index rebuild in another schema (might lock it for everything, I don't know). I hardly ever use TOAD, so I am not familiar with what it is trying to do. So now I am trying to figure out what exactly TOAD is doing that would block Session A with a library cache lock. Session A runs fine when I am not logged in with TOAD. Here is what I am seeing. I can see Toad is putting a lock on the plan_table owned by user_B, but I guess I don't understand how that causes session A to be locked out with a library cache lock. Session A is trying to rebuild an index in a different schema alter index user_B.address_key0 rebuild; ^ This hangs with the following SID EVENT ---------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- P1TEXT ---------------------------------------------------------------- P2TEXT ---------------------------------------------------------------- P3TEXT SECONDS_IN_WAIT ---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- STATE ------------------- 22 library cache lock handle address lock address 100*mode+namespace 590 WAITING The following is some other info I grabbed.
