Here I'll show you how to find on which row is waiting blocked session in Oracle Database when you have row level lock (enq: TX - row lock contention).
Let's Demonstrate small demo
Session 1
SQL> select * from scott.dept; DEPTNO DNAME LOC ------ -------------- ------------- 10 ACCOUNTING NEW YORK 20 RESEARCH DALLAS 30 SALES CHICAGO 40 OPERATIONS BOSTON SQL> update scott.dept set loc='SESSION1' where deptno=10; 1 row updated
Session 2
SQL> select * from scott.dept; DEPTNO DNAME LOC ------ -------------- ------------- 10 ACCOUNTING NEW YORK 20 RESEARCH DALLAS 30 SALES CHICAGO 40 OPERATIONS BOSTON SQL> update scott.dept set loc='SESSION2' where deptno=10;
Now second session waiting for first session because there is row lock on table scott.dept and we need to find on which row is waiting second session
SQL> select sid, event from gv$session where event like 'enq%'; SID EVENT ---------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- 133 enq: TX - row lock contention SQL> column owner format a10 SQL> column object_name format a12 SQL> column row_wait_obj# format a10 SQL> column row_wait_file# format a6 SQL> column row_wait_block# format a8 SQL> select o.owner, o.object_name, row_wait_obj#, row_wait_file#, row_wait_block#, row_wait_row#, dbms_rowid.rowid_create(1, o.DATA_OBJECT_ID, ROW_WAIT_FILE#, ROW_WAIT_BLOCK#, ROW_WAIT_ROW#) as "RowID" from gv$session s, dba_objects o where sid = 133 ---- waiting session id and s.ROW_WAIT_OBJ# = o.OBJECT_ID; OWNER OBJECT_NAME ROW_WAIT_O ROW_WA ROW_WAIT ROW_WAIT_ROW# RowID ---------- ------------ ---------- ------ -------- ------------- ------------------ SCOTT DEPT 75333 4 135 0 AAASZFAAEAAAACHAAA SQL> select * from scott.dept where rowid='AAASZFAAEAAAACHAAA'; DEPTNO DNAME LOC ------ -------------- ------------- 10 ACCOUNTING NEW YORK SQL>
