And what about > the other fields? Adding to what Rui said, the lock mode, 5 here, is actually exclusive instead of shared/row exclusive, or 6 in our normal lock mode numbering. In RAC deadlock graph, the mode starts with 0 for some reason. See section "Deadlocks in RAC" of http://yong321.freeshell.org/computer/deadlocks.txt In addition, the hex numbers following "BLOCKED" or "BLOCKER" are handles (lock pointers) of v$ges_blocking_enqueue. I wrote the note about 9i RAC. The old items in the graph still exist, just with more in newer versions. Yong Huang -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
