Hi

When I delete a table in Toad it takes only a one or two secons until I receive success message.

But with SQL*Plus on UNIX I canceled the operation after 5 minutes:

$ sqlplus tmo323/IXQMISX8ttr@PROD

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Nov 28 11:54:22 2011

SQL> delete table_5
  2  ;
^Cdelete table_5
       *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01013: user requested cancel of current operation

exact the same SQL statement.

I suppose there was another transaction within the same (TOAD) session, such as INSERT or UPDATE which was never committed (nor rolled back). TOAD doesn't care about it because - well, it is the same session.

SQL*Plus started another session and has to wait for TOAD to commit or rollback, because it (TOAD) "holds" the table. So: go to TOAD and commit. Go to SQL*Plus and delete table_5. What happens?
