Jared,

I agree with you, except for when MTS is being used.

Thank you,

It could be that pmon is rolling back the transaction.

It could also be that pmon is never going to clean it up, which sometimes happens when killing an active transaction.

I am a strong advocate of using 'orakill' on NT/Win2k and 'kill -9' on Unix to kill the process, rather than killing the session in Oracle.

If your session has still not been cleaned up, you'll understand my position, as you will now have to bounce your database.

Check to see if the session is holding a lock, if so, and an unreasonable amount of time has passed for pmon to do its cleanup, then you likely need to bounce the database.

Hi.

Here is my situation. I have killed an ORacle transaction. Oracle came back with "session marked for kill" and the status of the session is now "Killed". I presume that the reason is that Oracle needs to roll back the changes made. Can I confirm whether this is indeed the case via some system tables?
