Re: Row cache locks on INSERTs with a sequence

Correct -

I was sure that I had a set of test results to prove my point, but I didn't - so I've just run a series of tests on enqueue and buffer busy waits on an 8.1.7.4 system and you are absolutely right -  the seconds_in_wait does not reset as the wait completes.

Thanks,
