I run a script to grant privileges on database objects to developers and it normally completes in a few minutes. Lately, the script started hanging and getting ORA 4021 after 5 minutes. Discovered the problem is a "pin lock." The sessions holding the locks are not even active, they had accessed a related object sometime earlier in their session.
I ended up killing the sessions because I could not find a better way, but there must be cleaner way to release these pin locks? And why is this happening now in 9i? Never had this problem before...
