hi: In 10g, oracle has four TX wait events: 1. enq:TX - row lock contention 2. enq:TX - index contention 3. enq:TX - ITL 4. enq:TX - contention I know the first three ones' meanings. But what does the last one "enq:TX - contention" mean? I know it means other TX enqueue types. But what's the *other* TX enqueues? Could anybody give me some examples? We have insert sql causes this TX contention. I searched metalink and oracle-l, but most doc/threads are discussing the first three ones. Thanks a lot. -- Eagle Fan Oracle DBA
