Re: latch wait - cache buffer chain

You should find the hottest child latch yourself, and swap the value of ADDR on line 12 with the value of hladdr of the child latch.

if you execute this query, no rows should come up, because the chance of having an hladdr = 'ADDR' in x$bh is fairly low.

cheers!
