Unfortunately the session will still be queued on the database and continue to wait for locks, hold any current locks, and complete any DML/PL*SQL procedures that are pending on the server-side of the orphaned connection. If an application, on a another connection, due to ReadTimeout exception, retries DML/PL*SQL  which requires locks, those queries will queue behind the initial DML/PL*SQL. This will increase the workload exacerbating the situation. On applications with retries, this can be observed by querying the v$session table  or gv$session on RAC and noting new sessions started periodically based on the ReadTimeout interval. The sessions may often have the same SQL_ID and/or SQL_HASH_VALUE. If stmt.setQueryTimeout(Seconds) is issued and the statement exceeds the timeout, it will attempt to cancel the associated
