I need a way of detecting and logging all locks made on database tables in a certian shema. I'm not sure it is possible but my boss wants it!!! needless to say he is not technical. Anyway. I wondered if anybody could tell me a way of logging all locks made against tables in a database. I need to know.

Table Name.
The row identifier of the row locked.
Date and time the row was locked.

many thanks for any help you can give.

Monitor locks. Yes.
Logging those information?. You have to design your own custom method. May be dbms_job will help you. schedule a query and log the output into a table.
Google yourself for 'Monitor oracle locks' or anything like that.
You will get a zillion hits.
You can get as fancy as you want.
Here is One such and probably one of the best.
But you need to understand more.

There is no way you will get an identifier to which row is locked. Oracle doesn't store that information in a table. See this question for an explanation.
(there is another explanation two responses further down in the given link)
