Object locking is set up per database, not per project. You'll be able to lock objects in all schemas linked to the project.

To set up object locking, you need these database privileges:


• CREATE USER
• CREATE ROLE
• GRANT ANY PRIVILEGE
• CREATE ANY TABLE
• CREATE ANY PROCEDURE

To set up object locking

1. In the Lock objects tab, click Set up object locking.
   The script to set up object locking is displayed.
   
2. Review the script and click Run script.
3. Click OK.

Object locking is now set up for the database.

Alternatively, run the setup script manually

1. View the SQL script:
   

   Object locking setup script

   CREATE USER redgate

   GRANT EXECUTE ON redgate.lock_obj TO object_locker;

   GRANT object_locker to PUBLIC;

   The script will create:

   • a schema named REDGATE
   • a table named LOCKED_OBJECTS to store lock information
   • two procedures, LOCK_OBJ and UNLOCK_OBJ, to insert and delete rows from LOCKED_OBJECTS
   • a DDL trigger named CHECK_LOCKS to check for a lock before allowing a drop or alter
   • a role granted to PUBLIC named OBJECT_LOCKER
2. Run the script on the database.
3. Restart Source Control for Oracle.

Object locking is now set up for the database.

Removing object locking

To remove the object locking functionality, run this script on the database:

DROP USER redgate CASCADE;
DROP ROLE object_locker;
