You can also check v$access and v$session for any active sessions accessing that package.

You could use Steve Adam's script Executing_packages.sql at http://www.ixora.com.au/scripts/misc.htm to see what packages are executing and who is executing them. Also, can use dba_lock_internal to look at what is being blocked: based on Oracle-L script by Diego Cutrone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Friday, 29 August 2003 7:54 AM) COLUMN lock_id2 FORMAT A30 select to_char(SESSION_ID,'999') sid , substr(LOCK_TYPE,1,30) Type, substr(lock_id1,1,45) Object_Name, substr(mode_held,1,4) HELD, substr(mode_requested,1,4) REQ, lock_id2 lock_addr FROM dba_lock_internal WHERE mode_requested <> 'None' and mode_requested <> mode_held ; and use inverse of this with a given object_name to find who has the internal locks. (I know Yong will suggest this query needs a predicate in the where clause but it works for me and I haven't had time to test alterations.)

When I tried to display one form and it runs forever. So I closed the form, and changed the sql in the package that generates the form, and recompiled the pkg, and the recompiling hangs. I checked the database, there is no locking there. What shall I do? (Oracle9i on Linux RedHat, 9iAS.) Thanks. Janet __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
