It will fail and you will get an :

ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified

Been there - done that - got the mug and t-shirt..:)

Hi

What happens if you truncate a table, or drop an index, that is currently in use by a long running query? Does the query fail or does the truncate/drop hang up?
Thanks in advance,

Ben
