I want to alter a table and add a new column on our production database.

I am getting the following error
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified

Some user/process is holding the lock on this table.I have tried at different times and still cannot get it done.There are some processes that will comtinuously use these tables.

How can I add the column.

Ravi
