Hi Joe,

The fact that you are waiting for a shared TX lock indicates that the duhvelopers are right. It is an ITL entry shortage. Look for inadequate PCTFREE settings. This is treated in more detail on page 48 of my book.

I'm hitting up against locking(including deadlock) issues. Here is what we've done so far:

using utllockt, dba_waiters, etc all of the normal delivered stuff has been used.

I'm sure there is a way to see what the values of bind variables are, i think its an event, but i dont remember.

According to the duhvelopers, its an oracle issue not an app issue(i disagree totally), short of me going thru their code line by line(and i want to hurt someone since it has goto statements in a stored proc), is there anything else i can do to determine the sql(on deadlock i get a trace file so i can see what is happening).

At first it we thought it had to do with a bitmap index but we converted it to a normal index and it didnt go away.

here is part of the deadlock trace file(we're already ran the event for 60, to get more info).

It appears that there is a share lock issue, anyone willing to take a stab at this?

DEADLOCK DETECTED
Current SQL statement for this session:
INSERT INTO ATTEMPT_STATE (
ATTEMPT_STATE_OID,ATTEMPT_OID,ACTUAL_DATE,PLAN_DATE, SEQUENCE_NUMBER,NAME ) VALUES ( :b1,:b2,:b3, NULL ,:b4,:b5 ) ----- PL/SQL Call Stack -----
  object line object
  handle number name

82feecd4       296  package body FTC.ATTEMPT_STATE_CHANGE_PKG
82ff75f0         1  anonymous block

The following deadlock is not an ORACLE error. It is a deadlock due to user error in the design of an application or from issuing incorrect ad-hoc SQL. The following information may aid in determining the deadlock: Deadlock graph:
                       ---------Blocker(s)--------  ---------Waiter(s)--
