  • RE: DELETE locks UPDATE

    How many rows does the delete affect?

    Why that choice of clustered index? It doesn't look like a very optimal one (wide, not unique, not ever-increasing).

    WE are to perform DBCC CHECKDB today. Hopefully it will work out.

    CheckDB's not going to fix anything. It's a diagnostic that will show what's wrong.
