Question on blocking sessions query

York35Jan 30 2018 — edited Jan 31 2018

DB version: 9.2

OS : Solaris 9

There are some blocking sessions in the DB. I have 2 questions on this.

Question1.

For lock type DX (Distributed transaction) , I can see that  there are 2 rows for each blocking session . The holder (blocker) session and waiter session.

But for lock type TX, I can see only waiter sessions as shown in the output below. What does this mean ? Why is there no blocking sessions listed for these waiting sessions ?

Question2. The below query provides the SID of the blocking and waiting sessions. But, how can I find V$SESSION.serial# of the blocking session.

I mean how to join v$lock to v$session to get the serial# ?

col sess format a25

set lines 200

select substr(DECODE(request,0,'Holder: ', 'Waiter: ')||sid,1,12) sess, id1, id2, lmode,

request, type, inst_id, ctime

from GV$LOCK

where (id1,id2, type) in

(select id1, id2, type from GV$LOCK where request >0)

order by id1, request;
