Re: Remove killed session from v$session

Use orakill first, rather than using 'alter session kill', it's more reliable. You'll have to wait for Oracle to clean up the session.

On occasion the only way to clean it up is bounce the database, which is why I always use kill -9 or orakill to start with.
