    Hello,,
    I need to drop 10 indexes owned by fnd_concurrent_requests and when i try dropping these indexes i get an ora 054. Resource busy and aquire with nowait specified. How do i go about dropping them. Once i re-create them i will need to analyze them using
    ANALYZE TABLE FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS VALIDATE STRUCTURE CASCADE.

    THANKS

    That error means that somebody is using that index. Query dba_locks to see which session is using that object and then kill that users session to free the locks (after the transaction rolls back).

    how do i figure out if that particular index is locked
    SQL> desc dba_locks;
    Name Null? Type
    ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
    SESSION_ID NUMBER
    LOCK_TYPE VARCHAR2(26)
    MODE_HELD VARCHAR2(40)
    MODE_REQUESTED VARCHAR2(40)
    LOCK_ID1 VARCHAR2(40)
    LOCK_ID2 VARCHAR2(40)
    LAST_CONVERT NUMBER

    i believe my indexes have contraints which i will need to disable to drop them.
    so i can do alter table fnd_concurrent_requests
    disable primary key ???

    Lemme take that back. DBA_DML_LOCKS and DBA_DDL_LOCKS would be better if you know the object name. Look at the NAME column.
