If you look in v$lock for the row of type TM,
and check the CTIME column - this is roughly
the time (in seconds, to the nearest 3) that the
table has been locked, or a request has been
waiting.

Subject: table locked from n minutes


Hi All,

Is there a way to know that a table has been locked for n minutes ?

( Because a session may lock it and release it several times (depending
up on the code). )

We have a requirement to kill a session if it locks a table for n
minutes.

Can somebody through somelight on this ?

Thanks and Regards,
Srinivas
