kill oracle session using loop within PL/SQL or SQL
oracle, oracle10g, oracle11g, plsql, sql
Solution
The question is similar to How can I kill all sessions connecting to my oracle database?, though for not for all sessions.
You need to use `execute immediate` in order to alter the system in a PL/SQL block:
execute immediate 'Alter System Kill Session '''|| rec.Sid
|| ',' || rec.Serial# || ''' IMMEDIATE';
I query your need to use all the additional system tables. Something like the following query may suffice if all you want to kill is a specific `SQL_ID`:
SELECT se.sid,ss.serial#
FROM v$session
WHERE status = 'ACTIVE'
AND username is not null
AND sql_id ='f7frew3erwe'
Problem
we have this query: ``` ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'sid,serial#' IMMEDIATE; ``` I need to kill all sessions which have the same SQL ID I'm not sure how to connect things together, but I have this so far: ``` for rec in (SELECT se.sid,ss.serial# FROM v$session ss, v$sesstat se, v$statname sn WHERE se.statistic# = sn.statistic# AND name like '%CPU used by this session%' AND se.sid = ss.sid AND ss.status = 'ACTIVE' AND ss.username is not null AND ss.sql_id ='f7frew3erwe' ORDER BY value ASC) loop ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'rec.sid,rec.serial#' IMMEDIATE; //this is the tricky part! end loop; ``` Any suggestions?
