• It is safe to kill idle session?

  Hello
  Recently working on the production environment I've met customer number of connection problem as follows

  ERROR:
  ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (%s) exceeded
  
  
  After trying several times I connected and identified about 250 idle sessions of the only user of view V$ session.
  I have questions about this scenario.
  
  (1) I guess that inactive session consume processes, that triggered this error. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
  (2) is it safe to kill these idle without the approval of customers sessions because their status says they are 'INACTIVE '?
  (3) if not then, when idle, do these sessions are certain activities of long durations and because of their laziness oracle mark as inactive?
  
  My apologies for being naïve... :) Thanks in advance...

  Yes - in a perspective of database instance. Oracle is very robust. It does not choke when a user session suddenly disappear.

  Course from the point of view of the customer? Not really. The client may always require this session - it may even have a unique transaction to validate.

  From a point of view s/n? Joy. Let me count the ways of contentment by waving the old lead pipe and killing sessions... ;-)

  (3) if not then, when idle, do these sessions are certain activities of long durations and because of their laziness oracle mark as inactive?

  You can watch the session $ v and that there should be a column that contains the current state of waiting for event time / elapsed (take a look at the Oracle Reference guide). If this wait state is SQL * Net client message or similar and the wait state has quite a long time (you set this number), then it would be wrong to kill the session in order to allow new.

  Another option is looking at shared server sessions. Here is the light weight in comparison to the server by default. For example a sessions 100 user may be services by 2 dispatchers and 10 shared - server process that oppose an almost 10 x more charge of a 100 process heavy process.

• Who killed my session and when?

  Hi gurus,
  
  Could you tell me how can I check which killed my session and when two days before? Which table should I interview?
  
  Any input will be appreciated.
  
  
  Thank you.

  You can't unless you have auditing enabled for ALTER SYSTEM.

  Which table should I interview?

  There is no table to the query, unless you already had the above verification enabled. In this case, see SYS. AUD$.

  Hope that helps,

• How to kill a session by the non privileged user

  Hello
  
  I use the oracle 10.2.0.3 version.
  
  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.

• Kill a session caused instance bouncing

  Our database is 2 CARS db knots. The version is 10.2.0.3. The database servers are windows 2003 servers. Recently, I tried to kill a session using 'alter system kill session..' to kill a user session but caused the corresponding instance bounced. I created a TAR with Oracle and downloaded alert logs, trace files and files of $ORACLE_HOME/log / < name of the node - > /racg directory. But Oracle has not found anything to explain why the instance was restarted. He said that I may have killed an Oracle background process. My questions are:
  
  (1) can you use command 'alter system kill session..' to kill Oracle process? If you can that happen if you had killed a? Just cause the instance to stop and start?
  (2) I tried to find the session that I killed in gv$ active_session_history, but they are too old for exist. I was wondering is there anywhere I found this kind of info.
  
  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Dear SPathak ,

  Try to add IMMEDIATE too in the KILL statement. So the code will be

  declare
       sqlStmt VARCHAR2(1000);
  BEGIN
       For x in (SELECT SID,SERIAL# FROM V$SESSION WHERE STATUS='INACTIVE' AND last_call_et > 300) loop
            sqlStmt := 'ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION ''' || X.SId || ',' || X.Serial# || ''' IMMEDIATE' ;
            dbms_output.put_line( sqlStmt );
            EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlStmt;
       End loop;
  end;

  Yes, with a bit of Pl/Sql, something like this (connected as SYS)

  Hi all
  
  Just a quick question on whether or not it is normal for a session to be marked «killed» for more than 24 hours when I interview sessions DB. It was a session hung for a long time and I had to kill him (via TOAD and he succeeded). I understand it is a restore when killed, but why am I still see it after this long?
  
  What to do next?
  THX

  SQL > col format 999999 sid
  SQL > col username format a20
  SQL > col osuser format a15

  5 order by a.sid;
  Enter the SID value: 156

• kill notched sessions

  is it necessary to explicitly kill sessions marked as "SNIPED"?
  
  I put in the profile for idle less than 2 minutes limit.
  
  After that, the session time is sniped, but rest in GV$ SESSION
  
  as the behaviour is - she gets removed from GV$ SESSION when the user try to access again
  
  but users do not connect through sqlplus,
  
  
  also the number of notched sessions will affect the total number of sessions allowed (sessions parameter)
  instance, and give maximum sessions exceeded error?

  Check this note in metalink:
  DOC - ID: 96170.1

  Apparently this note says that Yes, you must explicitly kill them.

  Based on the documentation:

  [SNIPED - Session inactive, waiting on customer | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/dynviews_2088.htm#REFRN30223]

  So I'll wait until they count the sessions and you may have an error on the maximum number of open sessions.
