Kill Process

Hi, One of my users is frequently creating and dropping databases. Sometimes when something doesn't work right, she appears to have a session (thread) when we run "onstat -g ses". However, her client process is gone. When she then tries to drop the DB, she gets a message that she can't drop it (because "somebody" is using it; i.e. her deceased process). We know that we can have the sysadmin kill the session. However, is there a way that the user herself, without root privileges, can do so? Eventually it times out but we'd like to expedite it. Thanks in advance. David David Samson, Senior Database Researcher dsamson@ndsisrael.com NDS Technologies Israel Ltd. +972 2-589-4529 PO Box 23012 Fax: +972 2-589-4578 Jerusalem, Israel
