    Latch waits means the process has requested a latch on some structure and is waiting for the latch to be granted

    Lock waits means the process has requested a lock on some structure and is waiting for the lock to be granted

    Thanks

    The cause of the actual wait could be anything, right? It doesn't mean that something already has a latch on the resource and therefore other processes have to wait to put a latch on the same resource. Is this right?
