Goal
Show a way to connect to a database through Sqlplus when all other connection methods are hanging. Using a Sqlplus preliminary connection you will be able to connect to the database since no session is actually created, but you will have limited access to the SGA. This will help in capturing diagnostic information like a systemstate dump to aid in problem resolution.
