title: Removing Locks in Oracle 10
body: <p>I have an issue when trying to update a column value in sqlplus.</p>
  
  <p>It basically wont complete and just hangs. I am wondering if there is anyway to remove locks in oracle by force? </p>
  
  <p>I've noticed a table called v$locked_object which does contain an onject ID relevant to the issue I am having.</p>
  
  <p>Hope I've explained this good enough.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for any help!</p>
