Hi
Step 1
SELECT s.sid,
s.serial#,
s.osuser,
s.program
FROM   v$session s;
SID    SERIAL# OSUSER                         PROGRAM
*1 1 SYSTEM ORACLE.EXE*
*2 1 SYSTEM ORACLE.EXE*
*3 1 SYSTEM ORACLE.EXE*
*4 1 SYSTEM ORACLE.EXE*
*5 1 SYSTEM ORACLE.EXE*
*6 1 SYSTEM ORACLE.EXE*
*20 60 SYSTEM DBSNMP.EXE*
*43 11215 USER1 SQLPLUSW.EXE*
*33 5337 USER2 SQLPLUSW.EXE*
Step 2
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'sid,serial#';
In some situations the Oracle.exe is not able to kill the session immediately. In these cases the session will be "marked for kill". It will then be killed as soon as possible.
Issuing the ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION command is the only safe way to kill an Oracle session. If the marked session persists for some time you may consider killing the process at the operating system level, as explained below. Killing OS processes is dangerous and can lead to instance failures, so do this at your own peril.
It is possible to force the kill by adding the IMMEDIATE keyword:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'sid,serial#' IMMEDIATE;
