Deadlock Detection

Transaction deadlocks occur when two or more transactions are attempting to access an object with incompatible lock modes.  The following script can be used to identify deadlocks in the database.  The query depends upon objects that are created by the script $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/dbmslock.sql. Log on as SYS or with SYSDBA authority and run this script in all databases.  You may have to run the deadlock monitoring script below numerous times before you identify the transaction that is causing the problem. A neat trick is to embed the script in a PL/SQL stored procedure that accepts command-line input parameters for the total number of runs and time intervals between runs. The output can be sent to a table or to an output datafile.  

select dl.session_id, s.serial#, substr(dl.mode_held,1,4), s.osuser,
o.owner,o.object_name, o.object_type, l.type from dba_objects o,
v$locked_object lo, v$lock l,dba_locks dl, v$session s
