enqueue statspack top5 timed events

[David]

Hi

Below is a copy of the top 5 timed events from my statspack. Don't
know how to detect what enqueue waited for what. Don't understand
Oracle Documentation's description on how to check V$SESSION_WAIT and
V$LOCK.

Can anyone help me on how to detect the enqueue wait event? Oracle
just said it means waiting to get access database resources but not
specifically what resources. Is that memory, freelist or mintran?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

David

enqueue = locks.
The sid in v$lock joins back to the sid in v$session.
The taddr in v$session joins to v$transaction
sql_address and sql_hash_value join to address and hash_value in v$sql
The various lockmodes are documented.
