Hi People,

Could you please clarify what is Block Contention ?

Is it when 2 or more processes need to access the same Oracle block at the same time.

Does block contention occur only during updates/deletes or does it occur even during selects

Pls clarify
TIA
Arvind

You are right. Block contention can occur during Inserts,Updates,Deletes and Selects(sort,recursive SQL etc)..

Have a look at v$waitstat to get more info about what class of blocks caused how many waits..
