Hi,

I'm wondering and I'm not sure about the meaning of some columns in V$LOCK and V$SESSION views:

V$LOCK:
-------
ADDR & KADDR:
Manual description: Address of lock state object & Address of lock.
--> What kind of address are they? Is it a kind of lock state-object ID & lock ID? Is it a pointer to the locked row? What can be these columns used for?
ID1 & ID2:
Manual description: Lock identifier #1 & Lock identifier #2.
--> What does it mean more "explicitely"? How could we interprete these 2 columns and what are their use?

V$SESSION:
----------
SADDR & PADDR & TADDR:
Manual description: Session address & Address of the session that owns this session & Address of transaction state object.
--> What does it mean more "explicitely"? Is it a pointer? What is their meaning and how/what are they used for?
LOCKWAIT:
Manual description: address of lock waiting for; NULL if NONE.
--> What kind of address is it? Is it a pointer to the locked row? NONE if the session is not blocked? What can be these columns used for?

Thank you so much in advance!

Best regards,

Patrick.
