There is no way in Oracle to do this. As for performance, you can set an
audit just for tables that are deleted. This will not slow down
performance, as no other auditing is performed.

The script is in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin, and it is called "utllockt.sql"
All you have to do is run it, and it will give you a "tree" structure of
which sessions are holding locks that are affecting other users.
