While I just found the enqueue waits for 10g on the internet I managed to find out how to retrieve that information. And believe it or not – it’s available just over a simple query:

SELECT eq_name "Group", ev.name "Enqueue Type", eq.req_description "Description"
 FROM v$enqueue_statistics eq, v$event_name ev
 WHERE eq.event#=ev.event#
 ORDER BY ev.name;
