V$LOCK

V$LOCK lists the locks currently held by the Oracle Database and outstanding requests for a lock or latch.

Column	Datatype	Description
`ADDR`	`RAW(4 \| 8)`	Address of lock state object
`KADDR`	`RAW(4 \| 8)`	Address of lock
`SID`	`NUMBER`	Identifier for session holding or acquiring the lock
`TYPE`	`VARCHAR2(2)`	Type of user or system lock The locks on the user types are obtained by user applications. Any process that is blocking others is likely to be holding one of these locks. The user type locks are: `TM` - DML enqueue `TX` - Transaction enqueue `UL` - User supplied The system type locks are listed in Table 8-1. Be aware that not all types of locks are documented. To find a complete list of locks for the current release, query the `V$LOCK_TYPE` data dictionary view, described on "V$LOCK_TYPE".
`ID1`	`NUMBER`	Lock identifier #1 (depends on type)
`ID2`	`NUMBER`	Lock identifier #2 (depends on type)
`LMODE`	`NUMBER`	Lock mode in which the session holds the lock: `0` - none `1` - null (NULL) `2` - row-S (SS) `3` - row-X (SX) `4` - share (S) `5` - S/Row-X (SSX) `6` - exclusive (X)
`REQUEST`	`NUMBER`	Lock mode in which the process requests the lock: `0` - none `1` - null (NULL) `2` - row-S (SS) `3` - row-X (SX) `4` - share (S) `5` - S/Row-X (SSX) `6` - exclusive (X)
`CTIME`	`NUMBER`	Time since current mode was granted
`BLOCK`	`NUMBER`	Indicates whether the lock in question is blocking other processes. The possible values are: `0` - The lock is not blocking any other processes `1` - The lock is blocking other processes `2` - The lock is not blocking any blocked processes on the local node, but it may or may not be blocking processes on remote nodes. This value is used only in Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) configurations (not in single instance configurations).
