I was at a company once where we had JMS queues backed by an oracle DB (weblogic). Had queue issues outage 24h+. The end solution was to truncate the tables with the queue data. I still remember to this day backnin 2004 the oracle dba saying along the lines of "I'm not truncating shit until you get the company president on the conference call to approve". The VP wasn't enough. The president approved and things got back to normal until the next outage at which point we were more comfortable truncating those tables. So many bugs in weblogic jms back then (haven't used it since that job)
