Hi Milen,

I believe the purpose of row_wait_obj#, and the other row_wait columns
is only to report relevant information when a session is waiting on a
blocking lock, i.e. the "enqueue" wait event for a TX (aka Transaction)
lock.  Here are the column descriptions from the documentation:

http://stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/server.101/b10755/dynviews
_2073.htm
<http://stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/server.101/b10755/dynview
s_2073.htm> 

Please note the following:

ROW_WAIT_ROW# - Current row being locked. This column is valid only if
the session is currently waiting for another transaction to commit and
the value of ROW_WAIT_OBJ# is not -1. (emphasis mine)

Regards,
Brandon
