Figure 6-29. This simple dba_segments-based query clearly shows that block 4,54 is not a header block.
Now that we have identified the buffer busy pattern, the object type, and whether the block is a header block, we have enough information to proceed directly to a list of possible solutions.
The reason why buffer busy waits events give firefighters so much trouble is that before they can get to an appropriate (and I stress appropriate) solution set, they must first determine the busy pattern, the block's segment type, and if the block is a header block. With this information, we are now ready to jump to a very specific solution set. Solutions for the most common buffer busy situations are presented in the following sections.
