Tanel, I just got home from my first Hotsos symposium (which was excellent and I will be attending again). I attended both of your sessions as well as the Tech Day yesterday and I was blown away. I look forward to learning more from your blogs and scripts and am inspired to renew my excitment about technology and Oracle.

Hi,

Thanks for your response .

I have seen lots of templates available in google to design a layout . Any new updates in the site , if you highlight this some where in your homepage itself with some indication. I guess this would be even more better.

Thanks
Bala

@Balakrishna
Hi Balakrishna. As I’ve said on the front page, everything is still in draft mode there.

I know about the organization of docs – the sitemap helps there and I may add some table with list of articles, organized by topics.

About the GUI, so give me an example what should be better? I think the google sites layout is very good, better than most of the blog formats out there.

Thanks!!!

Comment on Alter system kill session and ORA-00031: session marked for kill by Tanel Poder

@ronald Ronald, you'll probably find that the session got finally "killed" after 100 seconds, the time you requested it to sleep. But if the sleep is longer, or the session is hopelessly stuck in some loop (due a bug) then the session won't be killed until the sleep/operation completes.

Hi,

Tech.e2sn got many fans till yet including me but i feel it lacks a better GUI and arranging docs properly.

I request please do not take this feedback in a negitive way. I appreciate your comments on this.

Comment on Alter system kill session and ORA-00031: session marked for kill by ronald

It worked for me!
to test if you can kill a session

1. create the session by logging into the database as user x and execute exec dbms_lock.sleep(100)
2. create another session and select sid,serial#,event from v$session where username=’userx’;
3. on the same session, ‘alter system kill session ’sid,serial#’;
BIG NOTE: Wait for 60 seconds and don’t be impatient. It’ll be killed after sometime.
