No and no. You have a very specific problem: Two or more processes are trying to access the exact same data block at the same time. You are part way through diagnosing your problem but you haven't finished yet.

Your job now is to figure out some very specific things: which data block the processes are waiting for, which table or index the block belongs to, which SQL statement keeps accessing that block so often, and why.

Diagnosis complete, you'll fix the problem. But you can't do that until you know what the problem is. Until you know which SQL statement is causing the problem and specifically what the nature of the problem is, you're not going to be able to fix it.

To figure out the next steps to take, which v$ views to query, what to look for, what the common problems are and how to fix them, do a Google search for:

"buffer busy waits" "data block"
