As a DBA, you can find very useful information in the Windows event logs. About important events, the health of your SQL Server and the operating system it runs on. Unfortunately, the logs also contain a lot of useless information. Some applications have a tendency to log hundreds of events every day, filling up the logs very quickly with info that you, as a DBA, do not need. But you still need to see that important message that informs you the server is going to crash if you don’t take action.

use master; go alter database AdventureWorks set read_committed_snapshot on with no_wait; goThen, from Session 1, I execute the following code:
--Session 1 use AdventureWorks; go create table ##t1 (id int, f1 varchar(10)); go insert into ##t1 values (1, 'A');From another session, called Session 2, I open a transaction and execute the following update:
--Session 2 use AdventureWorks; go begin tran; update ##t1 set f1 = 'B' where id = 1;Now, going back to Session 1, what happens if I execute this statement?
--Session 1 select f1 from ##t1 where id = 1;See possible answers
