Hi All,

I have the LIST Partitioned table.We are performing some DML Operation into one partition and
exactly at the same time doing some DDL Operations on the another Partition .

But some times in UAT Environments it leading to that
resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified or timeout expired Error.

When we perform the DML Operations on partitioned table on one specific partition,
will it acquire the LOCK on the total table?
Can't we perform any DDL operation on another Partition ?

But I am unable to replicate the same in Dev Environment

Please help me to understand

Thanks
SaiPradyumn

Simple test:

-- Session 1:
SQL> drop table t;

Table dropped.

SQL> create table t (val int)
  2  partition  by list (val)
  3  (
  4   partition t_1 values (1),
  5   partition t_default values (default)
  6  )
  7  /

Table created.

SQL> insert into t values(1);

1 row created.

SQL> -- no commit

-- Session 2:
SQL> alter table t split partition t_default values (2) into (partition t_2, partition t_default);

Table altered.
So at least some DDL are permitted but not those that impact the whole table:
SQL> alter table t modify (val not null);
alter table t modify (val not null)
            *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified or timeout expired
Locks held by session 1 are:
SQL> @lock

Sid        Status   User            OS Pid     LK Mod W Object
---------- -------- --------------- ---------- -- --- - ------------------------------------------------------------
145,9      ACTIVE   MICHEL          5008       TX X     _SYSSMU5_863307317$ tx: 0x0005.0013.0000DCA9
                                               TM RX    MICHEL.T
                                               TM RX    MICHEL.T.T_1
An exclusive lock on a rollback segment (this is the transaction marker) and 2 row exclusive locks on the definition of T and T.T_1 so you can work on other partition(s) than T_1 but some of the operations that can be done may require a lock on the global table definition too.

Note that locks change with Oracle version, I used the one you posted for this test.

Thanks for detailed exception.Finally we can perform DML&DDL operation parallel on two different partitions of the same table which are not impacting the total table .

Thanks

How much elapsed time is reduced by do DML in parallel?

we are not looking on the Elapsed time. As per the business requirement we need to run the different jobs
on the the tow different partitions of the same table at the same time.

Explain why it is a business requirement that
"we need to run the different jobs on the the tow different partitions of the same table at the same time."

Why does end user know or care if underlying table is partitioned or not?

...
So what was the original problem to do it?
This may help others to know it.

Thanks Michel for your follow up.

Here original problem is when we are running two jobs which are impacting the different partition with DDL and DML statements,still I am getting Resource busy Error at the time DDL statement execution.

We have insertions(DML) into one partition and truncation of another partition (DDL) on the same table and at the same time.

I am trying to find our are there any other statements which are executing on the same table at the same time

Thanks

I think the problem will be no more if your other sessions COMMIT their work.

Please pardon me if I am wrong.

Of course but the problem is that the DDL are raised when the DML are executed at any moment so before or after the commit.

There is no problem to do this (unless the DML impacts the truncated partition like with an UPDATE that moves the updated row into the truncated partition).
