tempdb

  • Hi,

    Our monitoring tool has reported that blocking on prodution

    i checked the details

    one user is running adhoc query on standalone database(not production database)

    one more query is running by the same user against tempdb

    SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(tbl.schema_id) AS [Schema], tbl.name AS [Name] FROM sys.tables AS tbl WHERE (tbl.name not like '#%') ORDER BY [Schema] ASC,[Name] ASC

    is this Intellisense feature? (which helps the user to make correct SQL Queries)

    one of production process (running aginst production db) is blocked by this user temp db query.

    So my question is user is trying to run adhoc query in standalone database and production db process is blocked. Just trying to understand how SQL works (because nothing in appln client or our server processes accesses this standalone databse)

    Please clarify.

  • Please follow link next to find out how to monitor blocking locks... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271509 - That would tell you who is blocking who.

    Out of curiosity... is standalone database running on the same server production is? what's the purpose of such standalone database?
