killed sessions staying around

[Jeffrey Beckstrom]

Killed several sessions, but none will terminate.  All were connected via ODBC.  Users have rebooted, etc.  These sessions are several days old and killed today.  Was going to try ORAKILL, but there is no thread number.  Apparently, entry is on v$session but no corresponding row in v$process.  Oracle only suggestion is to exit application gracefully.  Oh yeah, like I can enforce that - don't touch the power off switch.   Jeffrey Beckstrom Database Administrator Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority 1240 W. 6th Street Cleveland, Ohio 44113 (216) 781-4204
