    Locking on bitmap index

    All, I have a question in bitmap index. It would be great if any one could clarify this... I have two scenario's. In first scenario, it is locking. But the second scenario, it is not locking. I am not sure why it is...

    Scenario 1
    ==========

    Session 1
    =========

    SQL> create table t_bitmap(no number,name varchar2(10),status char(1));

    Table created.

    SQL> ed
    Wrote file afiedt.buf

    1* create bitmap index biidx on t_bitmap(status)
    SQL> /

    Index created.

    SQL>

    SQL> insert into t_bitmap values(1,'Scott','M');

    1 row created.

    SQL>


    Session 2
    =========
    SQL> insert into t_bitmap values(3,'John','F');


    This session is hanging.....



    ================================================================================


    Scenario 2
    ==========

    Session 1
    =========
    SQL> create table t_bitmap(no number,name varchar2(10),status char(1));

    Table created.

    SQL> declare
    2 begin
    3 for i in 1.. 100 loop
    4 insert into t_bitmap values(1,'Scott','F');
    5 end loop;
    6 end;
    7 /

    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

    Malay, I checked the alert log. I don't see any information. Are you sure that, it is working in your DB? I checked the same in different database. It is hanging...

    Here is my db version.

    Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
    PL/SQL Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
    CORE 9.2.0.1.0 Production
    TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 9.2.0.1.0 - Production

    Dav, I believe, you are asking which session is waiting.. The session 2 is waiting in Scenario I. I am sorry if i did not understand your question.
