I found a blocking issues using the DMV .
[/url]
from the captured result . I use DBCC IND('DBNAME', 'M_SYSTEM_CONFIG',-1), but i did not see the page number 1:1009316
I use dbcc PAGE (DBNAME, 1 , 1009316 ,3) WITH TABLERESULTS , it show me that the page Metadata: IndexId1 and Metadata: ObjectId 645577338 . number 645577338 is the object id for table m_system_config . DBCC CHEDKDB show zero consistency error .
Is these normal to the database ? can someone explain how should i proceed to troubleshoot this blocking ? the only 2 statament that involve in table M_SYSTEM_CONFIG while blocking is update and select from a different rows . only 17 rows is in the table . i do not know select will trigger an exclusive lock .

Setup a server side trace to identity what is causing the blocking. There are groups available for blocking in SQLserver. Hope this helps you to identify the blocking.

Unfortunately , the blocking happened again . and blocked process report capture nothing . I run the SOL SEVER report- activity -all blocking transaction during the blocking to show the blocking transaction .

blocking statement

key 59 --

key 51 update M_SYSTEM_CONFIG set sys_value = sys_value +1 where Getdate() > eff_start_dt and sys_key= 'LAST_USED_LOG_ID'

what kind of blocking is not able to trace by the profiler ? and why sql server showing -- in the blocking statement ?

The blocking occur intermittent

i have also set sp_configure 'blocked process threshold', 10. .

and when the blocking happened , i try to select other rows in the config table , it return the result .

But when i try to select the row which condition where Getdate() > eff_start_dt and sys_key= 'LAST_USED_LOG_ID' , it will keep loading because these particular key was blocked by the update statement .

But what have cause the blocked for these update statement ? I can see exclusive lock . but there are no other insert or update to the config table except the only one which blocked .

If the process is coming from another server, such as a LinkedServer query it can be trickier to figure out.
