Additional Info : Blocking session SQL_TEXT

create or replace procedure ACTIONProcedureDELETE

)
is
cursor oldval is select r.id,r.sessionstatus
from MyTABLEIMAGES r where r.idparent=p_ID;
begin
update

actionmyTableblock r

set r.status='False' where

ID=p_ID;

for oldvalItem in oldval loop

if oldvalItem.Sessionstatus='True' then
update MyTABLEIMAGES r set r.sessionstatus='False' where r.id=oldvalItem.Id;
else
update MyTABLEIMAGES r set r.sessionstatus='True' where r.id=oldvalItem.Id;
end if;
end loop;
end ACTIONProcedureDELETE;

How do I troubleshoot this ?

As you can see blocking session is INACTIVE but still locking.
If I

select v$sql_bind_capture

there is no value for

VALUE_STRING

for blocking session

sql_id

From where to start?

I can guess that there is missing commit/rollback but application developer says "I have everything ok, I have written commit where
it is necessary"
Please help.

You've got the sql_id for both. Look in v$sql Phil May 30 '12 at 12:16
@Phil I have sql_id for both but still don't know the exact blocking statement because is contains bind
variables. That are not captured in v$sql_bind_capture.I have added some info in "Additional Info" section in
my post above, please see. kupa May 30 '12 at 16:08

You can avoid row lock contention by making sure that the row is available for update
beforehand with a SELECT FOR UPDATE and either WAIT X or NOWAIT , e.g:
create or replace procedure ACTIONProcedureDELETE (p_ID NUMBER)
is
cursor oldval is select r.id,r.sessionstatus
from MyTABLEIMAGES r where r.idparent=p_ID FOR UPDATE NOWAIT;
l_id NUMBER;
begin
select id into l_id from actionmyTableblock where ID=p_ID
FOR UPDATE of status NOWAIT;
update

actionmyTableblock r

set r.status='False' where

ID=p_ID;

for oldvalItem in oldval loop

if oldvalItem.Sessionstatus='True' then
update MyTABLEIMAGES r set r.sessionstatus='False' where r.id=oldvalItem.Id;
else
update MyTABLEIMAGES r set r.sessionstatus='True' where r.id=oldvalItem.Id;
end if;
end loop;
end ACTIONProcedureDELETE;

If the row is locked, you will receive an ORA-00054 which is in most cases preferable to
indefinite waiting.

on each node to see uncommitted sessions:

SELECT t.start_time, s.sid, s.serial#, s.username, s.status,s.schemaname, s.osuser

, s.process, s.machine, s.terminal, s.program, s.module
