On windows, we always do an ORAKILL to kill the database thread.

Thank you Tom.
I would think that killing via oracle first is safer because oracle
would roll back any work done. If done via OS first, will Oracle roll
the transaction back and leave the database in a consistent state? If
there is no entry in the V$transaction, then I think killing the process
from the OS should be ok. Any corrections to this theory?

Ram,
On Unix, you need to kill the unix session first before killing the
Oracle session. Kill the spid value returned from this query on the
unix prompt:
kill -9 999999
Then kill the session within the database with your "alter kill"
statement.
selectv$session.username,spid
fromv$session,v$process
wherev$session.username in('yourusername')
andv$session.paddr=v$process.addr
orderbylast_call_et desc
Hope this helps.

Thanks Paul.
It is HP-UX 11i. Oracle is 10.202.
I used the 'Alter system kill session' command from SQL PLus.
orakill.exe? Is it for Windows?

Listers,
When I kill a session and the status shows as "KILLED" in v$session, I
assumed that the rollback is taking place. I am not sure what is
happening here:
