Oracle EE 10.2.0.5 We have been experiencing periods where we see a lot of enq: TM contention waits. Customers notice performance degradation. Generally it clears on its own within 10 minutes or so. The only cause I've been able to locate in my searches (both google & MOS) is a non-indexed foreign key. This is definitely not the cause in our case. I haven't had an unindexed foreign key in over 2 years and verified it hadn't popped up unexpectedly. Does anyone know of another possibility for causing this wait? -- Sandy Transzap, Inc. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
