Cause:

Blocking sessions occur when one session holds an exclusive lock on an object and doesn't release it before another session wants to update the same data. This will block the second until the first one has done its work.
From the view of the user it will look like the application completely hangs while waiting for the first session to release its lock. You will often have to identify these sessions in order to improve your application performance to avoid as many blocking sessions as possible.

Solution:

The following query shows all the blocking sessions which can help you to identify the problem.

col WAIT_CLASS for a12;
select blocking_session,sid,serial#,wait_class,seconds_in_wait,status from v$session where blocking_session is not NULL order by blocking_session;
