Re: How to get the statment sql that caused the lock

Eriovaldo,

I am surprised that anyone even bothered to create that enhancement request, but someone show have marked it is "ignore" by now.

Consider the following transaction:

update t1 set n1 = 99 where id = :b1;
update t2 set a1 = 66
update t1 set n4 = 33 where id1 = :b2

               sb.sid sid_blocker
              ,sb.inst_id inst_id_blocker
              ,sb.event
              ,substr(sb.program,1,25) program
              ,o.OBJECT_NAME
              ,CASE WHEN
                    o.object_type = 'TABLE' THEN
                    dbms_rowid.rowid_create ( 1, o.DATA_OBJECT_ID, sb.ROW_WAIT_FILE#, sb.ROW_WAIT_BLOCK#, s.ROW_WAIT_ROW# )
               ELSE
                  NULL
               END  rowid_bloocked
        from   gv$session s
              ,gv$session sb
              ,dba_objects o
        where s.seconds_in_wait > 60
        and s.BLOCKING_SESSION = sb.sid
        and s.BLOCKING_INSTANCE = sb.INST_ID
        and sb.ROW_WAIT_OBJ# = o.OBJECT_ID;

My purpose is to retrieve the sql_id related to the transaction line in the view v$transaction that is responsible for the execution of the : INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ... in order to show it to the developer and validate the application if need to add commit in the code, if does not exists.

I received a message from a member of the group , like this :

I asked Oracle (SR 3-12200129251 : Request for ID of SQL responsible for transaction to be added to v$transaction) and they created an enhancement request Bug 24920354 : ADD SQL_ID COLUMN TO V$TRANSACTION OF THE SQL THAT STARTED THE TRANSACTION

But two years have passed. They did nothing about it.

This is what I am locking for.

Thanks and Regards

Eriovaldo

SELECT... FOR UPDATE; I find this is a common cause of blocking and is easy to overlook as you might miss the FOR UPDATE.

Table DDL can also lock the resource by dropping a TM lock on there.

Hi Eriovaldo!

Queries do not lock tables, unless the queries are distributed, as in "query over a database link". For everything else, queries to not lock tables.

Second, the fact that the sessions are idle is irrelevant. If I execute "LOCK TABLE SCOTT.EMP IN EXCLUSIVE MODE" and go to lunch, my session will be idle. It will also keep the lock until the transaction ends. Locks are caused by 5 statements: INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, TRUNCATE and LOCK. For the purpose of this consideration, we will consider MERGE to be an update & insert combination.

So, if you have a SID, you should be able to find out what objects does the session have locked and in what mode. Sometimes, that can be a load of fun. While I was a DBA, I worked with a developer who learned that /*+ APPEND */ hint for inserts "makes things go faster". So she has put the /*+ APPEND */ hint to each and every insert statement in her multi-user web application. For some inexplicable reason, things did not go faster, but I did have some fun.

• Idle sessions can hold locks, for a very long time. That was the primary reason for inventing resource limits.
• Queries, except in very rare cases, DO NOT LOCK anything.
• V$LOCK will tell what objects are locked and in what mode. Unless you are using 18.3 or newer, you cannot kill a statement (actually, not true: you can kill the current statement by using kill -URG, but very few people know that and even fewer do that).
• Once you figure out that an idle session is blocking you by holding a lock, you kill it without further ado and ask the application developer to fix the bug. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for an idle session to hold locks. Locks are means for preserving consistency. You want to prevent someone else from modifying a critical resource until your transaction is finished. You don't hold locks on resources until an upgrade to a new Oracle version takes you apart. TRANSACTION != MARRIAGE.
• Just for completeness, the /*+ APPEND */ hint causes the insert to allocate a batch of empty blocks below the high water mark and effectively extend the table. That requires an exclusive lock on the table. And exclusive locks can be bad for concurrency.

I using Oracle 12c R2.
I have this query that shows blocked sid:

Query 1 :
select * from gv$lock where sid in
(select sid from gv$session where blocking_session is not null);

and here , the query shows the blocker sid. These sessions are IDLE. Query 2
select * from gv$lock where sid in
(select blocking_session from gv$session where blocking_session is not null);

My doubt is : what is the query that caused the lock that ran in the blocker sessions?

I tried the query below, but did not get any query using the locked table.

select * from
(
select sql_id

,to_char(last_active_time,'dd-hh24:mi:ss') last_active
,executions
,elapsed_time/1000000 elap_tot
,decode(executions,0,elapsed_time,(elapsed_time/executions))/1000000 elap_exec
,decode(executions,0,disk_reads,(disk_reads/executions)) disk_exec
,decode(executions,0,buffer_gets,(buffer_gets/executions)) buffer_exec
,tot
,sql_text
from (select s.sql_id

            ,substr(s.sql_text,1,225) sql_text
            ,max(last_active_time) last_active_time
            ,sum(executions) executions
            ,sum(elapsed_time) elapsed_time
            ,sum(disk_reads) disk_reads
            ,sum(buffer_gets) buffer_gets
            ,count(*) tot
      from gv$sql s
          ,gv$open_cursor o
      where s.inst_id = o.inst_id
        and s.sql_id = o.sql_id
        and o.user_name = s.parsing_schema_name
        and o.sid=&vSid
        and o.inst_id = nvl('&vInstId',1)
        and s.parsing_schema_name <> 'SYS'
      group by s.sql_id
              ,substr(s.sql_text,1,225))

What is the way to find out the query that caused the lock (in sessions showed in the Query 2 above)

Eriovaldo
