We have a situation where a majority of the sessions in the database are
waiting for "library cache lock".
A simple explain plan against the wh_bills table hangs indefinitely.
READONLY@>select event, count(*)
2 from v$session_wait
3 where state = 'WAITING'
4 group by event
5 order by 2 desc
6 /
EVENT COUNT(*)

10 rows selected.
Some of these session have been waiting for days.
The only activity currently happening on the database is a rebuild of the
partitioned indexes on a single table (WH_BILLS). The indexes are being
built by a simple set of statements running in separate sessions which are
actually kicked off via dbms_job and a stored procedure -
Session 1
ALTER INDEX dw_owner.il_bills_001 REBUILD PARTITION p_bills_1998_08
NOPARALLEL NOLOGGING
Session 2
ALTER INDEX dw_owner.il_bills_002 REBUILD PARTITION p_bills_1998_08
NOPARALLEL NOLOGGING
Session 3
ALTER INDEX dw_owner.akl_bills_1 REBUILD PARTITION p_bills_1998_08
NOPARALLEL NOLOGGING
The locking activity produced by this is -
1 select obj.object_type, obj.object_name,l.session_id, l.locked_mode
2 from v$locked_object l,
3 all_objects obj
4* where obj.object_id = l.object_id
READONLY@>/
OBJECT_TYPE OBJECT_NAME SESSION_ID LOCKED_MODE
------------------ ------------------------------ ---------- -----------
TABLE WH_BILLS 151 2
TABLE PARTITION WH_BILLS 151 4
TABLE WH_BILLS 17 2
TABLE PARTITION WH_BILLS 17 4
TABLE WH_BILLS 19 2

TABLE WH_BILLS 44 2
TABLE PARTITION WH_BILLS 44 4
8 rows selected.

READONLY@>
How could this situation arise where we can't even read from the table?
Should the indexes be built like this?
Thanks,
Steve.
