Blocking session ... show table records that are blocked (Part II)

In one of mine previous posts that deal with blocking sessions (Blocking session ... show table records that are blocked), I have shown how to identify row which is blocked.

Recent ask from mine friend gave me an idea how to expand information with waiting SQL statement itself (show real sql that is in waiter session waiting to be run).

Regardless the solution is very easy (just add next code in the end of existing sbr.sql script):
SELECT t.sql_text
  INTO  l_sql
  FROM gv$sqlarea t, 
       gv$session s 
 WHERE t.address = s.sql_address AND 
       t.hash_value = s.sql_hash_value AND 
       s.inst_id=rec_waiters.inst_id AND
       s.SID = rec_waiters.sid AND 
       s.sql_hash_value != 0
;
dbms_output.put_line(lpad(chr(9),9)|| chr(9)|| 
                     '('||
                     rpad(l_sql,100,' ')||
                     ')'
                     );
I'll show the whole solution. sbr.sql script in complete code that include current improvement:

 Filename: sbr.sql (show_blocked_records)
 CR/TR#  : 
 Purpose : Find blocking records by locked session for RAC and non RAC environment  
           Resulting SQL shows rows which are locked and their release will continue 
           running blocking session.
           
           Excellent way to find hot records (hot tables)

 Remarks : Tested on 10g/11g (should work on lower versions as well)
           
           "c_nr_cols" define number of columns (without pk columns!) of generated sql 
                       change it to your needs           

 Changes (DD.MM.YYYY, Name, CR/TR#):
          12.07.2010 Damir Vadas
                     added support for current waiter sql statement and 
          19.08.2010 Damir Vadas
                     added exception block for no_data_found case
                     added "substr" for l_sql parse
          01.09.2010 Damir Vadas
                     fixed bug blockers and waiters to be 11g compatible
          03.09.2010 Damir Vadas
                     added "Locked object is not table" for "starnge" locks in 11g
          20.09.2010 Damir Vadas
                     Reunited logic for script/procedure (change value for b_is_script)

Quick example

Suppose we have a table xx with one column (C1) and two rows in it as:
SQL>select * from xx;

C1
----------
2
3

SQL>
Here is SQL from blocker's session:
SQL>update xx set c1='1' where c1='2';

1 row updated.

SQL>
And in another (waiter session) there is SQL:
SQL>update xx set c1='123';

This command "hang" ... waiting for lock to be released! In third (monitoring session) we can call previously shown sbr.sql script:
SQL>@sbr
DAMIRV (1 '439,2117')
        SYS       1     499,25445        40 sec       Exclusive         ACTIVE        SQL*Plus
                SELECT C1 FROM DAMIRV.XX WHERE rowid = 'AABIYyAAKAAALONAAA' ;
                (update damirv.xx set c1='123'                                    )

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL>
Interpetation is very obvious. SYS session (inst_id=1, 499,25445) is blocked by DAMIRV session (inst_id=1, 439,2117). SYS session wait for the release of record:
SELECT C1 FROM XX WHERE rowid = 'AABIYyAAKAAALONAAA' ;
And SYS has executed SQL (which is hanged):
update damirv.xx set c1='123'
What shows all important data about any kind of lock!

Be proactive

If you incorporate mentioned sbr.sql port of code into sb.sql script in a way that create show_blocked_records function that return blocking information (rather then use dbms_output.put_line kind of output), then all you have to do is insert following lines inside existing code:
-- previous code from sb.sql
  ...
  IF bHasAny THEN -- this line already exist
    add_message_line (chr(9));
    show_blocked_records (s_blocked_rows);
    add_message_line (s_blocked_rows);
  ...
  -- following code from sb.sql
you'll get complete blocking monitoring system with full explanation of the problem.

The End

I have rearranged sbr.sql script to understand locking that was shown on Deadlock on Oracle 11g but Not on 10g. This is why I put part of code that shows locked object in a case that it is not table. Here is output of mine function for his example. Here oner of all objects is DAMIRV:
Oracle version: 11.2.0.1.0 (11.1.0.0.0)
        
DAMIRV (1 '133,10')
        DAMIRV    1     18,9           1596 sec   Share-Row-Exc         ACTIVE        SQL*Plus
                Locked object is not table: DAMIRV.SYS_C0022027 (INDEX)

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> 
As you see sometimes fk index can be a power full blocker.

Cheers!

  1. Hi Damir,
    first of all,thanks for such interesting and valuable article.
    I noticed you are applying decode function on v$lock in c_blockers cursor,
    so I was thinking maybe using v$lock_type view
    could be better instead.
    I think v$lock_type is available from 10gR1 , but the content of the view in 10gR1 is different than the one in 11gR2,
    where is aprox. 30-40 new lock type comparing to the ones that were in 10g.
    cheers,
    toni

      Will try to implement this "new feature" when I get the time ...
