RE: v$session question

On Unix, you need to kill the unix session first before killing the Oracle session. Kill the spid value returned from this query on the unix prompt:  

kill -9 999999  

Then kill the session within the database with your "alter kill" statement.  

    select v$session.username, spid

      from v$session, v$process

     where v$session.username in ('yourusername')

       and v$session.paddr=v$process.addr

     order by last_call_et desc  

Hope this helps.

Thanks Paul.   

It is HP-UX 11i. Oracle is 10.202.  

I used the 'Alter system kill session' command from SQL PLus. orakill.exe? Is it for Windows?

Listers,  

When I kill a session and the status shows as "KILLED" in v$session, I assumed that the rollback is taking place. I am not sure what is happening here:
