Identify the Session to be Killed
SELECT s.inst_id,
s.sid,
s.serial#,
p.spid,
s.username,
s.program
FROM gv$session s
JOIN gv$process p ON p.addr = s.paddr AND p.inst_id = s.inst_id
WHERE s.type != 'BACKGROUND';
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'sid,serial#';
or
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'sid,serial#' IMMEDIATE;
is that the only way to kill the session?
