V$LOCK

V$LOCK lists the locks currently held by the Oracle Database and outstanding requests for a lock or latch.

Column	Datatype	Description
`ADDR`	`RAW(4 \| 8)`	Address of lock state object
`KADDR`	`RAW(4 \| 8)`	Address of lock
`SID`	`NUMBER`	Identifier for session holding or acquiring the lock
`TYPE`	`VARCHAR2(2)`	Type of user or system lock The locks on the user types are obtained by user applications. Any process that is blocking others is likely to be holding one of these locks. The user type locks are: `TM` - DML enqueue `TX` - Transaction enqueue `UL` - User supplied The locks on the system types are held for extremely short periods of time. The system type locks are listed in Table 7-1.
`ID1`	`NUMBER`	Lock identifier #1 (depends on type)
`ID2`	`NUMBER`	Lock identifier #2 (depends on type)
`LMODE`	`NUMBER`	Lock mode in which the session holds the lock: `0` - none `1` - null (NULL) `2` - row-S (SS) `3` - row-X (SX) `4` - share (S) `5` - S/Row-X (SSX) `6` - exclusive (X)
`REQUEST`	`NUMBER`	Lock mode in which the process requests the lock: `0` - none `1` - null (NULL) `2` - row-S (SS) `3` - row-X (SX) `4` - share (S) `5` - S/Row-X (SSX) `6` - exclusive (X)
`CTIME`	`NUMBER`	Time since current mode was granted
`BLOCK`	`NUMBER`	A value of either 0 or 1, depending on whether or not the lock in question is the blocker.
