    Hi,
    I am trying to issue
    Alter table acc_partition Nologging and get

    ora-00054: Resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified

    *********I checked in the ORA Err message documents ***

    ORA-00054 resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified

    Cause: The NOWAIT keyword forced a return to the command prompt because a resource was unavailable for a LOCK TABLE or SELECT FOR UPDATE command.

    Action: Try the command after a few minutes or enter the command without the NOWAIT keyword.
    ****I tryed after some time, but still get the same error***

    Could someone help me , how to go ahead;

    You'll need to wait until the lock is cleared.

    To avoid this problem, increase your dml_locks parameter to a good number. Default is 20.

    DML_LOCKS parameter value is already 268;
    Isn't it a big number.

    You can go further up. Put it to 1000.

    Alternatively, I killed the session which had acquired a lock on the object, It went through.

    But still want to understand from you:
    what does the DML_locks parameter do? Does it allow more locks on the same object and allow me to go ahead ?
