You should be able to kill the oracle shadow process to release these sessions. Something like select 'kill -9 '||p.spid from v$session s, v$process p where s.status = 'KILLED' and s.paddr = p.addr will get you a nice command list. Once the shadow process is killed the database session will be released. We are an Oracle Apps site and kill JDBC sessions which have been inactive for 3 hours via this kind of unix level process kill as a ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION ends up with the kind of "hung" KILLED sessions you are describing. Good luck. Received on Thu May 26 2005 - 08:39:25 CDT
