Re: Insert statement hanging

exec dbms_monitor.session_trace_enable(:sid,:serial)

...where :sid and :serial are the session_id and serial# of the Oracle session you're curious about. The resulting trace file will show you all the database calls and system calls that the session has executed. If you're curious about your trace file, feel free to send it to me, and I'll be glad to have a look.
