RE: How do I check whether a rollback activity is going on
Because 'kill' and 'kill -15' don't seem to work consistently. kill -9 says 'kill with extreme prejudice, take no prisoners!', whereas your garden variety kill allows a process to call for a priest, eat a last meal and smoke a cigarette, all of which take too much time.

RE: How do I check whether a rollback activity is going on
IRC, evn with MTS, a busy session should have the PID of the shared server associated with it in v$process, and only one session at a time can use the shared server. Killing it should effect only the session using the SS at that time, and MTS should spawn another. Nonetheless, I don't recommend doing it. :) Jared Sherman, Paul R.

RE: How do I check whether a rollback activity is going on
Yeah, ok, I forgot that in my youth the number one was typed by using the key immediately right of the K and the number zero was typed by using Shift and the key between I and P. I really meant kill -l using the letter to the right of the K, not that numeric symbol on the top row of the keyboard. Been a long time since I used kill -9 -1 -- I got out of the habit during my time on HPUX. And if anyone wants to try Jared's approach, be sure to log in as the oracle user on a critical production system and have your resume up to date 8-) Kevin Kennedy First Point Energy Corporation -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 12:51 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Kevin, Too much work!
