Had a problem this morning where a package was invalid and it would hang when we tried to recompile.

We assumed that some other session was trying to recompile it but was hanging for some reason.

I have plenty of ways to look at table locks but don't have a query to show locked packages. Frantic searching through the index of the SQL & PL/SQL Annotated Archives didn't help. I ended up searching the Active sessions that looked likely and killing them (and needing to do a kill -9 on the OS level as well) until I was able to recompile the package.

Does anyone have a query that will save the random searching next time?

Thanks,
Jay Miller
