Yo DBA gurus,
I have a form error FRM-40501:Oracle error-unable to reserve record for update or delete. Forms manuals says that this is a fatal error when forms was trying to select the record for update. Apparently one of our secerataries who was doing this form was logging from a PC using telnet and the telnet connection snapped.And again when the forms was invoked,we came across this error. The manual says contact the DBA.well,i am the DBA so i tried all tricks even shut down the database but of no avail:-(. when i try to delete this record using SQL*Plus the plus just stops. My guess is when the telnet connection snapped, the locks were not released. so i looked at the sys tables , v_$lock , v_$_lock and DBMS_LOCK_Allocated. DBMS_LOCK_Allocated is empty but v_$lock and v_$_lock has some entries which i am not able to interpret.
anybody willing to lend a helping hand to a rookie?



Ur help would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks and Regards
