Enabling Connection Blocking

Enable connection blocking to force any transaction attempting to obtain a lock that conflicts with another transaction's existing lock to wait: either until every conflicting lock is released, or until the BLOCKING_TIMEOUT threshold is reached.

Prerequisites
Task
Set the BLOCKING database option to ON.
set temporary option blocking = 'On';
Note: The blocking option can be set either at the connection or PUBLIC level.
