Hi!
I am running Dynamic SQL and everytime I execute an ALTER TABLE option from my Motif Interface, I get an error:

ORA-00058: timeout occurred while waiting for DDL lock

Few minutes back, the same query worked fine. But, somehow when I tried it again, the Data Definition Lock error keeps coming again and again. This error code is not mentioned anywhere in the ORACLE Error Codes Manual.

If anybody has suggestions regarding the problem, please send me e-mail at

Thanks.
