Re: How do kill a locked session

From: dtang_at_minn.net >>
So I used instance manager to kill those two sessions, but those two session did not go away. Those two sssions were labeled killed, and stayed here for days. <<

I have seen similiar behavior under Unix system. You have to kill the Oracle session at the OS level. Under Unix this is a kill -9 pid and under VMS this is a cancel pid (or whatever VMS calls the job id). I do not know NT, but the OS should provide a way to terminate a process. Please post what the command is, when you find it, if NT provides a way to kill a process.
