Thanks Rachel.

I spent the train ride reading the chapters on Instance Tuning and Dynamic Performance Views hoping to find something, but no such luck.  I learned a lot of other useful things though, so it wasn't a waste of time.

Jacques, v$locked_object shows the table, but I already knew which table was locked.  I was hoping to find the offending SQL statement.

Have a great weekend everyone.
