Application slowness due to row locking-AWR
Hello Gurus,
AWS RDS-12.1.0.2.0
One of our application started complaining about slowness when looked at the AWR report during the problem time i see high "Enq:TX -row lock contention" waits taking chunk of DB Time.
No DB/app code changes or any DB parameter changes whatsoever done.
I compare the AWR with the good time and one thing that stand out was its doing lot of Controlfile reads(~149G) during bad time compare to 4G against good time.
I know that row lock issues are related to application code.What could cause sudden row lock contention now?
Any valuable input on this would be greatly helpful.
