Common Lock Types
Several common locks are described in this section.
- This lock is required in exclusive mode (mode 6) to change data.
- One lock is acquired for each active transaction. It is released when the transaction ends due to a commit or rollback.
- If a block containing the row(s) to be changed does not have any ITL (interested transaction list) entries left, then the session requests the lock in shared mode (mode 4). It is released when the session gets an ITL entry for the block.
- If any of the rows to be changed are locked by another session, then locking session's transaction lock is requested in exclusive mode. When the locking transaction ends, this request ends, and the rows are covered under the requesting session's existing TX lock.
- The lock points to the rollback segment and transaction table entries for the transaction.
Do the following to avoid contention on this enqueue:
- To avoid contention on TX-6 enqueues, review the application.
- To avoid contention on TX-4 enqueues, consider increasing
INITRANS
for the object.
TM: DML Lock(表级锁)
- This lock is required in exclusive mode for executing any DDL statements on a database object; for example, lock table in exclusive mode, alter table, drop table.
- This lock is also acquired in shared mode when executing DML statements such as
INSERT
,UPDATE
, orDELETE
. This prevents other sessions from executing a DDL statement on the same object concurrently. - For every object whose data is being changed, a TM lock is required.
- The lock points to the object.
To avoid contention on TM enqueues, consider disabling the table lock for the object. Disabling the table lock prevents any DDL from executing on the object.
ST - Space Transaction Lock
- There is only one lock for each database (not instance).
- This lock is required in exclusive mode for any space management activity (creation or dropping any extents) except with locally managed tablespaces.
- Object creation, dropping, extension, and truncation all serialize on this lock.
- Most common causes for contention on this lock are sorting to disk (not using true temporary tablespaces) or rollback segment extension and shrinking.
Do the following to avoid contention on this enqueue:
- Use true temporary tablespaces, utilizing tempfiles. Temporary segments are not created and dropped after every sort to disk.
- Use locally managed tablespaces
- Size rollback segments to avoid dynamic extension and shrinking, or use automatic undo management.
- Avoid application practices that create and drop database objects.
UL - User Defined Locks
Users can define their own locks.

Common Modes for Request/Lmode
- 0: None
- 2: Row Share: used for shared DML locks(SS锁或RS锁,也称共享锁,select for update,不在同行兼容,如果同行部兼容)
- 4: Share: used for shared TX when waiting for ITL entry(共享锁,不允许更改行)
- 6: Exclusive used for row level, DML locks(事务排他锁)
Any row in V$LOCK
either has LMODE=0
(indicating it is a request) or REQUEST=0
(indicating it is a held lock).
Resource Identifier ID1
For DML locks, ID1
is the object_id.
For TX locks, ID1
points to the rollback segment and transaction table entry.

- This is used to find the session holding the lock, if a session is waiting for a lock.
- This can be used to find the locked object for DML locks (type = `TM').
- This can be used to find the rollback segment in use for row transaction locks (TYPE = `TX'). However, a less cryptic join might be through
V$TRANSACTION
.
Example 24-11 Finding the Sessions Holding the Lock
Find the (ID1, ID2, type) for sessions waiting for a lock (LMODE
=0).
Find the session holding the lock (REQUEST
=0) for that ID1, ID2, type.
SELECT lpad(' ',DECODE(request,0,0,1))||sid sess, id1, id2, lmode, request, type FROM V$LOCK WHERE id1 IN (SELECT id1 FROM V$LOCK WHERE lmode = 0) ORDER BY id1,request SID ID1 ID2 LMODE REQUEST TY ------ ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- -- 1237 196705 200493 6 0 TX <- Lock Holder 1256 196705 200493 0 6 TX <- Lock Waiter 1176 196705 200493 0 6 TX <- Lock Waiter 938 589854 201352 6 0 TX <- Lock Holder 1634 589854 201352 0 6 TX <- Lock Waiter
Example 24-12 Finding the Statements being Executed by These Sessions
SELECT sid, sql_hash_value FROM V$SESSION WHERE SID IN (1237,1256,1176,938,1634); SID SQL_HASH_VALUE ----- -------------- 938 2078523611 <-Holder 1176 1646972797 <-Waiter 1237 3735785744 <-Holder 1256 1141994875 <-Waiter 1634 2417993520 <-Waiter
Example 24-13 Finding the Text for These SQL Statements

The locked sessions' statements show that the sessions 1176 and 1256 are waiting for a lock on the PO_UNIQUE_IDENTIFIER_CONTROL
held by session 1237, while session 1634 is waiting for a lock on PA_PROJECTS
held by session 938. Query V$SESSION_WAIT
, V$SESSION
, and V$SESSION_EVENT
to get more details about the sessions and users. For example:
