  • RE: INSERT being blocked by SELECT

    UncleBoris (1/14/2013)


    Would READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT be row versioning in SQL?

    Yes. As is snapshot isolation.

  • RE: INSERT being blocked by SELECT

    I don't know what your developers are smoking, but a SELECT most certainly can block an UPDATE or INSERT. Selects take shared locks. If it's doing a table scan, that's...

    Scaling out a SQL instance is not trivial. It's not a matter of adding a cluster and being done (and clustering's for HA, not performance). Multiple active SQL instances cannot...

  • RE: An examination of bulk-logged recovery model

    Moreover, its sql server 2000, what may be the solution ? Checkdb ?

    Ideally, restore from a clean backup, but only once you know the severity of the problem.
