Well, this won't stop a job that's already running - it will only prevent it from
starting. To stop a running job, corresponding session should be killed, which
is not that trivial to do - you gotta locate the session in v$session and then
alter system kill session '<v$session.sid> <v$session.serial#>' immediate
(of course, <v$session.xxx> should be replaced with actual values for these
columns). The most tricky part here is locating the session for the running job.
Of course, job status must be also set to broken before killing its session,
because Oracle will start new SNP process to replace killed one and this process
will immediately pick up the job again since it was interrupted. And note that
if you set broken flag while job is running, and it then completes successfully,
broken flag will be reset, so you really really need to kill running job before you
set its broken flag.
Corrections and additions welcome.
