Rachel,
This is baffling....I did look up the v$locked_object view and dba_waiters
both of which returned no rows. The v$lock had the value 0 for lock
requests.
I tried a shutdown immediate through a stored script which brings down the
context server alongwith bringing down the database. That hung as well
although there weren't any users using the database.
I looked up the processes on the server and sure enough there was a ctxhx
process
initiated by the context server which was running. I killed the same and the
database shutdown was completed. The database was restarted and we could
then
remove the user.
My point is since the context server held locks on the objects owned by a
particular
user in the database, the same should have shown up in the lock info which I
accessed.
Regards,
Samir

before shutting down the server why not look to see if there are locks
on the objects?
