    Hi, Guess what, it did count the uncommitted records...

    I've done a test,

    Step 1: run "select count(*) from table1;" -- return 3

    Step 2: begin a transaction to insert 3 records into table 1, without end/rollback the transaction

    Step 3: open another session and run "select count(*) from table1;" there.-- which returned 6

    Step 4: I rollback the transaction;

    Step 5: run "select count(*) from table1;" again. --which returned 3.

    Thanks all for help.

    Did you mean WITH(NOLOCK) on step 3?

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
