Why don't u do this during off peak hours.

Anyways what u can do is take a Lock on the table and wait till the lock is obtained and then alter tahe table.

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
