Raj,
I'll take OTS's point of view on the subject, namely if the duhveloper can
drop the table via SQL*Plus then he needs to call the vendor of the third party
application. The database responds to a command the same way no matter where
the command is issued from if it is complete and executed. More than likely
there's either a bug in the third party code or else in his configuration
thereof.
More than likely, and I've seen this before (actually did it myself), the
application is doing something like a 'select count(*) from <tablename>;' and as
long as count(*) > 0 it will wait, Well when the application leaves data laying
around without cleaning up after itself guess what happens. DUH!!!

PS: I liked the "drop duhveloper off of third floor balcony" idea. But I still
prefer the 12 gauge shotgun method. It's faster & leaves a more noticeable
mark!! *-)

We have a developer here, installing a third party application, who claims
one of his "delete campaign" process is hanging. I looked at the wait
events, saw nothing, and asked him to politely to go look at the code.
After much analysys, the developer now complains, that Oracle is not
executing a drop table command at the end of the process, and hanging
there. He claims he can drop the table from SQLPLUS.
I asked him to rerun the process. I noticed no wait events for that session
in v$session_wait when he claims the process is hanging. I see no DROP
statements in the v$sqlarea. I did a 10046 trace, and the last statement in
the trace file is a select statement. I looked at the sql addresses from
v$session, linked it to v$sqlarea and the sql_text shows the same select
statement as is seen in the trace file. I see no exclusive locks on the
said table. I conclude that the application is not sending a DROP statement
to Oracle for execution. He claims that cannot be the case. They have done
the same installation in a test environment and it worked fine. The jury
seems to be taking sides. I scream SOS. What more should I be doing? And
Does an Oracle 10046 trace write into the trace file after the statement
has executed?
Thanks
Raj
