  • RE: Execution Times vs Logical Reads/Scan Count

  • RE: Free Buffer List

  • RE: ghost cleanup process

    Lock timeouts can cause a delete to fail and roll back entirely. I don't know offhand what error you'd get or where you'd see it.

  • RE: Delete statistics option is disabled when you try to delete statistics in sql server

  • RE: Is there a way to know what process is consuming the log files?

    There isn't really a way. You could run traces or extended events sessions and correlate the times of log growth to operations, but that's impractical for long periods.

    No, that's describing the write portion of scatter-gather IO, not a read operation.
