Thanks all, the time for the rollback to take place seems to explain why it takes so long before the session actually disappears from v$session. It's a development system running long data conversion procedures. Hence, there will be lots of rollback. ... and I guess I'll opt for orakill then.

M�rz 2003 15:39 An: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Betreff: Re: Remove killed session from v$session Stefan, The session stays in the KILLED status because of a lot of reasons - the primary being the rollback being performed for all the changes the session did. At some point the session rollback will be complete and the session will be removed. Don't worry about the session being there. HTH.
