I thought that the parse lock acquired by a SQL statement in the shared pool was there to make sure that the shared SQL area gets invalidated if a referenced schema object gets altered (or dropped). As far as I know the parse lock does NOT prevent DDL being carried out. I therefore believe what I originally said, i.e. that a DDL statement does NOT have to wait on a query, to be true.
