Why do you want to do things with the sysdate? There is CTIME column in V$LOCK which contains the time in seconds (rounded, as usual, to the nearest 3 seconds) since the lock was granted. V$LOCK is the best table to use, not V$LOCKED_OBJECT. The column ID1 in V$LOCK represents OBJECT_ID from DBA_OBJECT, if ID2=0. Any session that wants to lock rows needs to lock table in S/Row-X mode (5). So, in order to murder long locking sessions, you need only mode 5. If you allow 6 (exclusive mode), then there is a problem with the application. Anybody locking tables in exclusive mode on an OLTP system should be publicly beheaded.
