kill session vs kill session immediate/post_transactional

A DBA, I sometimes kill sessions in SQL * more by entering the command ' ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION ' xxx, xxxx '; The session ends quickly, sometimes it takes sometimes minutes for the killed session to go.

When to use Enterprise Manager Grid Control to kill a session that I have to choose between a 'kill immediately' or 'transactional Message. When I kill a session by entering a command from SQL * more I do not use one of these options.

I'm trying to understand the consequences of the use of the two options available via the grid control. Clause of some forum posts suggest you use IMMEDIATELY"as a last resort. According to them, he couldn't prevent a session from filling out a cancellation of the updates because the operating system process stops immediately. Read that a description of the clause POST_TRANSACTION makes me think of issueing what the command against a long query term will allow him continue to run and end the session only after the end of the SQL query. For now I avoid using one of the options of the grid control and stick to my original format in SQL * more.

Could someone shed some light on the difference between killing a session with or without KILL it IMMEDIATELY or POST_TRANSACTIONAL' options?

Thank you
Bill

Hello

If I order, "the ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION ' xxx, xxxx ';

allows you to mark a session as null and void, restore the ongoing transactions, releases all session locks and partially recovery of resources from the session. If the session is running an activity that must be completed, as the wait for a response from a remote database or rolling back a transaction, then Oracle Database expects this activity complete, mark the session as being finished and then returns control to you.

If I order, "ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION ' xxx, xxxx" IMMEDIATE. "

Specify IMMEDIATE to load the Oracle database to ongoing transactions, releases all session locks, recover session state full and immediately returns control to you. You wrote end immediately with no cancellation of updates?. This is not so, it will rollback all not updated.

If I execute the command ' ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION ' xxx, xxxx "POST_TRANSACTION;"

The POST_TRANSACTION parameter allows operations to be completed before the session is disconnected. If the session has no current transaction, then this clause has the same effect as to KILL SESSION.

  • delete the entry for killed / sniped v$ session meeting

    Hi all
    In our database (11.2.0.1.0) of production running on windows server 2008 several client session list inactive last hour of 4-5 and I want to kill this session because that all sessions are dedicated to do this so I've created a set of resource plan his idle time after certain interval session status shows killed , but he is not removing of session entries $ v but our customer demand is there must be clear v $ session so for this I used command BACK utility taskkill to kill the particular operating system process, so I want to know what is the smart way to do it.

    We're talking about behavior, not a problem.

    In a dedicated server environment when the session is killed and the rollback ends the process so a join between v$ session and v$ process will fail. The v$ entered session also disappears usually fairly quickly, although I've seen cases where the v$ session entrance hung around until the instance has rebounded. But normally the Oracle will overlap the v$ session entry with a new session using the same sid but another serial # seconds on a busy system.

    So what is preferable in this respect:

    ALTER SYSTEM DISCONNECT SESSION

    The ALTER SYSTEM DISCONNECT SESSION syntax is an alternative method for killing Oracle sessions. Unlike the KILL SESSION command requesting the session to kill himself, the DISCONNECT SESSION command kill the dedicated server process (or virtual circuit when the shared use of Sever), equivalent to kill the operating system server process. The basic syntax is similar to the KILL command SESSION with the addition of the POST_TRANSACTION clause. The SID values and serial of the meeting concerned can be replaced in one of the following instructions.

    SQL > ALTER SYSTEM DISCONNECT SESSION ' sid, serial # ' POST_TRANSACTION;
    SQL > ALTER SYSTEM DISCONNECT SESSION ' sid, serial # ' IMMEDIATE;

    Also during the session to kill, there is no show message in the log file of the alerts associated with the kill command.

    Now, please help me how I can fix this without closing the database.

    EDIT the SYSTEM KILL SESSION does not remove the session.  The session dies only when the user actually tries another SQL operation and is thrown a mistake - that is to say when Oracle kills the process.

    The other option is to use an OS command to kill the server process - but you need to know how to do this and identify the right process to kill (assuming not shared server and dedicated server connections).

  • Why DB read file is still active after that the session was killed?

    Hello

    I have a query which is only select read only (no selection for update) on a big enough table (lines 500millions). The result must return a few million rows (1-10 million), because it is not properly written.

    I killed all the sessions opened by the user who started the application, but after 3 hours, it is still ongoing.

    I don't understand. It's a read. There is no data restoration that must be set aside, there is no generation of redo (low) because of this.
    There are a few kinds made in this query.

    So, why after that I'm killing a query that is read-only, the process runs for a very long time?

    It is not the first time I'm facing this problem.

    Any ideas?

    If you really want the process completed rather than simply "marked" termination then use DISCONNECT SESSION with the IMMEDIATE clause

    See the "Clause of DISCONNECT SESSION" in the doc of the SQL language

    . . .
    The IMMEDIATE environment disconnects the session and retrieves the status of entire session immediately, without waiting for open transactions to complete.

    I have to give privileged kill session to a user non-preferred, below 2 ways, I know that this can be done with.

    1. by giving change the system to this user privilege.

    2. by creating a procedure in any user with DBA privileges, which has the statement to execute immediate change the system kill session & by granting execute this procedure to this user.

    Apart from the above two ways, I heard that there is a procedure/priviledge etc. also well integrated into Oracle. Which can be granted to individual users.

    No idea if there is something of this kind?


    Thanks in advance.

    Oratest

    Each session has a partner gets server process created in OS that Oracle creates (the setting of the dedicated server), so if you kill even the session in Oracle and the corresponding operating system process is not killed, then the session is marked for KILL and do not get killed instantly or marked as snipped.

    Also, there is no explicit privilege in Oracle to grant only the ability to kill session, you will need to ALTER SYSTEM privilege and, of course, it gives you much more capacity than to simply kill the session and therefore impossible to give all users who does not keep a database.
