Application slowness due to row locking-AWR

edited May 12, 2020 9:07AM in Database Tuning (MOSC) 16 commentsAnswered ✓

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.

Howdy, Stranger!
