Hi lists,

Solaris 2.7
oracle 8i

I have a session "SYSTEM" doing import into a table. (logged into server thru telnet from win 98 PC)

Suddenly the power outage occurred to my PC.

When I logged into the server thru telnet, I found that the session is active.
By mistake, I killed the process at o/s level.

For somereasons,I tried to drop the table. But I failed to do it, as it is locked by import process.

I tried to kill the user "SYSTEM". But the oracle is giving error that there is not user with such sid and serial number.

The serial# number is often getting changed when I query from v$session.

Is there a way to kill this user, without shutting down the database.

And why different serial# number each time, I query v$SESSION.?

Any clues?

Thnx and Regards,

Srinivas
