So, do you know what happens when a commit happens? What files/processes come into play? Having a knowledge of how the database works might be of assistance here. Have you run an AWR report to see what waits you are experiencing? Robert G.

You must be LDS to apply (please don't write to me and tell me I'm breaking the law. A church can choose to hire members of it's own faith.

I have a procedure that is working fine until it does commit and then everything stops for a few seconds. Since this is a web application this is not acceptable. Causes and solutions please. -- Adar Yechiel Rechovot, Israel -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
