    I'm not clear on what you're asking for here.

    Joe, what leads you to assume that Project+Vendor+Country is a valid PK for this table? There's nothing in the data from the original question that supports that. Isn't...

  • RE: can Intent shared (IS) cause blocking?

    Check this for details: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175519.aspx

    Essentially, an IS lock is "Intent Shared", which allows other shared locks (selects, essentially) to access the same data.

    Shared (S) locks allow concurrent transactions to read...

    They actually both do the same thing. All of the work is the clustered index scan in both cases.
