For example, two editors make an electronic copy of the same document. Each editor changes the copy independently and then saves the changed copy thereby overwriting the original document. The editor who saves the changed copy last overwrites the changes made by the other editor.<\/p>\n

This problem could be avoided if one editor could not access the file until the other editor had finished and committed the transaction. Uncommitted dependency occurs when a second transaction selects a row that is being updated by another transaction.<\/p>\n

The second transaction is reading data that has not been committed yet and may be changed by the transaction updating the row. For example, an editor is making changes to an electronic document. During the changes, a second editor takes a copy of the document that includes all the changes made so far, and distributes the document to the intended audience. The first editor then decides the changes made so far are wrong and removes the edits and saves the document.<\/p>\n

The distributed document contains edits that no longer exist and should be treated as if they never existed. This problem could be avoided if no one could read the changed document until the first editor does the final save of modifications and commits the transaction. Inconsistent analysis occurs when a second transaction accesses the same row several times and reads different data each time. Inconsistent analysis is similar to uncommitted dependency in that another transaction is changing the data that a second transaction is reading.<\/p>\n

However, in inconsistent analysis, the data read by the second transaction was committed by the transaction that made the change. Also, inconsistent analysis involves multiple reads two or more of the same row, and each time the information is changed by another transaction; thus, the term nonrepeatable read. For example, an editor reads the same document twice, but between each reading the writer rewrites the document. When the editor reads the document for the second time, it has changed.<\/p>\n

The original read was not repeatable. This problem could be avoided if the writer could not change the document until the editor has finished reading it for the last time. A phantom read is a situation that occurs when two identical queries are executed and the collection of rows returned by the second query is different.<\/p>\n

The example below shows how this may occur. Assume the two transactions below are executing at the same time. In either case, when you are scanning an index, if another user changes the index key column of the row during your read, the row might appear again if the key change moved the row to a position ahead of your scan.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the row might not appear if the key change moved the row to a position in the index that you had already read. This cannot occur when you are using read committed because a table lock is held during a page split and does not happen if the table does not have a clustered index, because updates do not cause page splits.<\/p>\n

When many people attempt to modify data in a database at the same time, a system of controls must be implemented so that modifications made by one person do not adversely affect those of another person.<\/p>\n

This is called concurrency control. Concurrency control theory has two classifications for the methods of instituting concurrency control:.<\/p>\n

A system of locks prevents users from modifying data in a way that affects other users. After a user performs an action that causes a lock to be applied, other users cannot perform actions that would conflict with the lock until the owner releases it.<\/p>\n

This is called pessimistic control because it is mainly used in environments where there is high contention for data, where the cost of protecting data with locks is less than the cost of rolling back transactions if concurrency conflicts occur.<\/p>\n

In optimistic concurrency control, users do not lock data when they read it. When a user updates data, the system checks to see if another user changed the data after it was read. If another user updated the data, an error is raised.<\/p>\n

Typically, the user receiving the error rolls back the transaction and starts over. This is called optimistic because it is mainly used in environments where there is low contention for data, and where the cost of occasionally rolling back a transaction is lower than the cost of locking data when read.<\/p>\n

SQL Server supports a range of concurrency control. Users specify the type of concurrency control by selecting transaction isolation levels for connections or concurrency options on cursors.<\/p>\n

Transactions specify an isolation level that defines the degree to which one transaction must be isolated from resource or data modifications made by other transactions. Isolation levels are described in terms of which concurrency side-effects, such as dirty reads or phantom reads, are allowed.<\/p>\n

Choosing a transaction isolation level does not affect the locks acquired to protect data modifications. A transaction always gets an exclusive lock on any data it modifies, and holds that lock until the transaction completes, regardless of the isolation level set for that transaction. For read operations, transaction isolation levels primarily define the level of protection from the effects of modifications made by other transactions. A lower isolation level increases the ability of many users to access data at the same time, but increases the number of concurrency effects such as dirty reads or lost updates users might encounter.<\/p>\n

Conversely, a higher isolation level reduces the types of concurrency effects that users may encounter, but requires more system resources and increases the chances that one transaction will block another. Choosing the appropriate isolation level depends on balancing the data integrity requirements of the application against the overhead of each isolation level. The highest isolation level, serializable, guarantees that a transaction will retrieve exactly the same data every time it repeats a read operation, but it does this by performing a level of locking that is likely to impact other users in multi-user systems.<\/p>\n

The lowest isolation level, read uncommitted, may retrieve data that has been modified but not committed by other transactions. All of the concurrency side effects can happen in read uncommitted, but there is no read locking or versioning, so overhead is minimized. SQL Server also supports two additional transaction isolation levels that use row versioning. One is an implementation of read committed isolation, and one is a transaction isolation level, snapshot.<\/p>\n

The following table shows the concurrency side effects enabled by the different isolation levels. NET applications using the System. SqlClient managed namespace can call the SqlConnection. Locking is a mechanism used by the SQL Server Database Engine to synchronize access by multiple users to the same piece of data at the same time. Before a transaction acquires a dependency on the current state of a piece of data, such as by reading or modifying the data, it must protect itself from the effects of another transaction modifying the same data.<\/p>\n

The transaction does this by requesting a lock on the piece of data. Locks have different modes, such as shared or exclusive. The lock mode defines the level of dependency the transaction has on the data. No transaction can be granted a lock that would conflict with the mode of a lock already granted on that data to another transaction. If a transaction requests a lock mode that conflicts with a lock that has already been granted on the same data, the instance of the SQL Server Database Engine will pause the requesting transaction until the first lock is released.<\/p>\n

When a transaction modifies a piece of data, it holds the lock protecting the modification until the end of the transaction. How long a transaction holds the locks acquired to protect read operations depends on the transaction isolation level setting. All locks held by a transaction are released when the transaction completes either commits or rolls back. Applications do not typically request locks directly. The query processor determines what types of locks are required to protect each resource based on the type of access and the transaction isolation level setting.<\/p>\n

The query processor then requests the appropriate locks from the lock manager. The lock manager grants the locks if there are no conflicting locks held by other transactions. The SQL Server Database Engine has multigranular locking that allows different types of resources to be locked by a transaction. To minimize the cost of locking, the SQL Server Database Engine locks resources automatically at a level appropriate to the task.<\/p>\n

Locking at a smaller granularity, such as rows, increases concurrency but has a higher overhead because more locks must be held if many rows are locked. Locking at a larger granularity, such as tables, are expensive in terms of concurrency because locking an entire table restricts access to any part of the table by other transactions.<\/p>\n

However, it has a lower overhead because fewer locks are being maintained. The SQL Server Database Engine often has to acquire locks at multiple levels of granularity to fully protect a resource. This group of locks at multiple levels of granularity is called a lock hierarchy. For example, to fully protect a read of an index, an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine may have to acquire share locks on rows and intent share locks on the pages and table.<\/p>\n

The SQL Server Database Engine locks resources using different lock modes that determine how the resources can be accessed by concurrent transactions. No other transactions can modify the data while shared S locks exist on the resource. Shared S locks on a resource are released as soon as the read operation completes, unless the transaction isolation level is set to repeatable read or higher, or a locking hint is used to retain the shared S locks for the duration of the transaction.<\/p>\n

Update U locks prevent a common form of deadlock. In a repeatable read or serializable transaction, the transaction reads data, acquiring a shared S lock on the resource page or row , and then modifies the data, which requires lock conversion to an exclusive X lock. If two transactions acquire shared-mode locks on a resource and then attempt to update data concurrently, one transaction attempts the lock conversion to an exclusive X lock.<\/p>\n

The shared-mode-to-exclusive lock conversion must wait because the exclusive lock for one transaction is not compatible with the shared-mode lock of the other transaction; a lock wait occurs. The second transaction attempts to acquire an exclusive X lock for its update. Because both transactions are converting to exclusive X locks, and they are each waiting for the other transaction to release its shared-mode lock, a deadlock occurs.<\/p>\n

To avoid this potential deadlock problem, update U locks are used. Only one transaction can obtain an update U lock to a resource at a time. If a transaction modifies a resource, the update U lock is converted to an exclusive X lock. Exclusive X locks prevent access to a resource by concurrent transactions. With an exclusive X lock, no other transactions can modify data; read operations can take place only with the use of the NOLOCK hint or read uncommitted isolation level.<\/p>\n

The statement first performs read operations to acquire data before performing the required modification operations. Data modification statements, therefore, typically request both shared locks and exclusive locks.<\/p>\n

In this case, the UPDATE statement requests shared locks on the rows read in the join table in addition to requesting exclusive locks on the updated rows.<\/p>\n

The SQL Server Database Engine uses intent locks to protect placing a shared S lock or exclusive x lock on a resource lower in the lock hierarchy. Intent locks are named “intent locks” because they’re acquired before a lock at the lower level and, therefore, signal intent to place locks at a lower level. For example, a shared intent lock is requested at the table level before shared S locks are requested on pages or rows within that table. Setting an intent lock at the table level prevents another transaction from subsequently acquiring an exclusive x lock on the table containing that page.<\/p>\n

Intent locks improve performance because the SQL Server Database Engine examines intent locks only at the table level to determine if a transaction can safely acquire a lock on that table. This removes the requirement to examine every row or page lock on the table to determine if a transaction can lock the entire table.<\/p>\n

During the time that it is held, the Sch-M lock prevents concurrent access to the table. This means the Sch-M lock blocks all outside operations until the lock is released. Some data manipulation language DML operations, such as table truncation, use Sch-M locks to prevent access to affected tables by concurrent operations. Sch-S locks do not block any transactional locks, including exclusive X locks.<\/p>\n

Therefore, other transactions, including those with X locks on a table, continue to run while a query is being compiled.<\/p>\n

Bulk update BU locks allow multiple threads to bulk load data concurrently into the same table while preventing other processes that are not bulk loading data from accessing the table.<\/p>\n

This means that you cannot insert rows using parallel insert operations. Key-range locks protect a range of rows implicitly included in a record set being read by a Transact-SQL statement while using the serializable transaction isolation level.<\/p>\n

Key-range locking prevents phantom reads. By protecting the ranges of keys between rows, it also prevents phantom insertions or deletions into a record set accessed by a transaction.<\/p>\n

Lock compatibility controls whether multiple transactions can acquire locks on the same resource at the same time. If a resource is already locked by another transaction, a new lock request can be granted only if the mode of the requested lock is compatible with the mode of the existing lock.<\/p>\n

If the mode of the requested lock is not compatible with the existing lock, the transaction requesting the new lock waits for the existing lock to be released or for the lock timeout interval to expire. For example, no lock modes are compatible with exclusive locks. While an exclusive X lock is held, no other transaction can acquire a lock of any kind shared, update, or exclusive on that resource until the exclusive X lock is released.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, if a shared S lock has been applied to a resource, other transactions can also acquire a shared lock or an update U lock on that item even if the first transaction has not completed.<\/p>\n

However, other transactions cannot acquire an exclusive lock until the shared lock has been released. The following table shows the compatibility of the most commonly encountered lock modes.<\/p>\n

An intent exclusive IX lock is compatible with an IX lock mode because IX means the intention is to update only some of the rows rather than all of them. Other transactions that attempt to read or update some of the rows are also permitted as long as they are not the same rows being updated by other transactions.<\/p>\n

Further, if two transactions attempt to update the same row, both transactions will be granted an IX lock at table and page level. However, one transaction will be granted an X lock at row level. The other transaction must wait until the row-level lock is removed.<\/p>\n

Use the following table to determine the compatibility of all the lock modes available in SQL Server. The serializable isolation level requires that any query executed during a transaction must obtain the same set of rows every time it is executed during the transaction.<\/p>\n

A key range lock protects this requirement by preventing other transactions from inserting new rows whose keys would fall in the range of keys read by the serializable transaction. By protecting the ranges of keys between rows, it also prevents phantom insertions into a set of records accessed by a transaction. A key-range lock is placed on an index, specifying a beginning and ending key value.<\/p>\n

This lock blocks any attempt to insert, update, or delete any row with a key value that falls in the range because those operations would first have to acquire a lock on the index. Key-range lock modes have a compatibility matrix that shows which locks are compatible with other locks obtained on overlapping keys and ranges.<\/p>\n

Conversion locks can be observed for a short period of time under different complex circumstances, sometimes while running concurrent processes. The following table and index are used as a basis for the key-range locking examples that follow. To ensure a range scan query is serializable, the same query should return the same results each time it is executed within the same transaction.<\/p>\n

New rows must not be inserted within the range scan query by other transactions; otherwise, these become phantom inserts. For example, the following query uses the table and index in the previous illustration:. Key-range locks are placed on the index entries corresponding to the range of data rows where the name is between the values Adam and Dale , preventing new rows qualifying in the previous query from being added or deleted.<\/p>\n

Although the first name in this range is Adam , the RangeS-S mode key-range lock on this index entry ensures that no new names beginning with the letter A can be added before Adam , such as Abigail. Similarly, the RangeS-S key-range lock on the index entry for Dale ensures that no new names beginning with the letter C can be added after Carlos , such as Clive. If a query within a transaction attempts to select a row that does not exist, issuing the query at a later point within the same transaction has to return the same result.<\/p>\n

No other transaction can be allowed to insert that nonexistent row. For example, given this query:. A key-range lock is placed on the index entry corresponding to the name range from Ben to Bing because the name Bill would be inserted between these two adjacent index entries. The RangeS-S mode key-range lock is placed on the index entry Bing. This prevents any other transaction from inserting values, such as Bill , between the index entries Ben and Bing.<\/p>\n

When deleting a value within a transaction, the range the value falls into does not have to be locked for the duration of the transaction performing the delete operation. Locking the deleted key value until the end of the transaction is sufficient to maintain serializability. An exclusive X lock is placed on the index entry corresponding to the name Bob. Other transactions can insert or delete values before or after the deleted value Bob. However, any transaction that attempts to read, insert, or delete the value Bob will be blocked until the deleting transaction either commits or rolls back.<\/p>\n

Range delete can be executed using three basic lock modes: row, page, or table lock. In contrast, when ROWLOCK is used, all deleted rows are marked only as deleted; they are removed from the index page later using a background task. When inserting a value within a transaction, the range the value falls into does not have to be locked for the duration of the transaction performing the insert operation. Locking the inserted key value until the end of the transaction is sufficient to maintain serializability.<\/p>\n

The RangeI-N mode key-range lock is placed on the index entry corresponding to the name David to test the range. If the lock is granted, Dan is inserted and an exclusive X lock is placed on the value Dan. The RangeI-N mode key-range lock is necessary only to test the range and is not held for the duration of the transaction performing the insert operation.<\/p>\n

Other transactions can insert or delete values before or after the inserted value Dan. However, any transaction attempting to read, insert, or delete the value Dan will be locked until the inserting transaction either commits or rolls back. Lock escalation is the process of converting many fine-grain locks into fewer coarse-grain locks, reducing system overhead while increasing the probability of concurrency contention. As the SQL Server Database Engine acquires low-level locks, it also places intent locks on the objects that contain the lower-level objects:.<\/p>\n

The Database Engine might do both row and page locking for the same statement to minimize the number of locks and reduce the likelihood that lock escalation will be necessary. For example, the Database Engine could place page locks on a nonclustered index if enough contiguous keys in the index node are selected to satisfy the query and row locks on the data.<\/p>\n

To escalate locks, the Database Engine attempts to change the intent lock on the table to the corresponding full lock, for example, changing an intent exclusive IX lock to an exclusive X lock, or an intent shared IS lock to a shared S lock. If the lock escalation attempt succeeds and the full table lock is acquired, then all heap or B-tree, page PAGE , or row-level RID locks held by the transaction on the heap or index are released.<\/p>\n

If the full lock cannot be acquired, no lock escalation happens at that time and the Database Engine will continue to acquire row, key, or page locks. The Database Engine does not escalate row or key-range locks to page locks, but escalates them directly to table locks. Similarly, page locks are always escalated to table locks. Locking of partitioned tables can escalate to the HoBT level for the associated partition instead of to the table lock.<\/p>\n

HoBT-level locks usually increase concurrency, but introduce the potential for deadlocks when transactions that are locking different partitions each want to expand their exclusive locks to the other partitions.<\/p>\n

If a lock escalation attempt fails because of conflicting locks held by concurrent transactions, the Database Engine will retry the lock escalation for each additional 1, locks acquired by the transaction.<\/p>\n

Each escalation event operates primarily at the level of a single Transact-SQL statement. When the event starts, the Database Engine attempts to escalate all the locks owned by the current transaction in any of the tables that have been referenced by the active statement provided it meets the escalation threshold requirements. If the escalation event starts before the statement has accessed a table, no attempt is made to escalate the locks on that table.<\/p>\n

If lock escalation succeeds, any locks acquired by the transaction in a previous statement and still held at the time the event starts will be escalated if the table is referenced by the current statement and is included in the escalation event. If lock escalation succeeds, only the locks held by the session on TableA are escalated. While only the locks the session acquired in TableA for the SELECT statement are counted to determine if lock escalation should be done, once escalation is successful all locks held by the session in TableA are escalated to an exclusive lock on the table, and all other lower-granularity locks, including intent locks, on TableA are released.<\/p>\n

Similarly no attempt is made to escalate the locks on TableC , which are not escalated because it had not yet been accessed when the escalation occurred. If locks cannot be escalated because of lock conflicts, the Database Engine periodically triggers lock escalation at every 1, new locks acquired. When the Database Engine checks for possible escalations at every 1, newly acquired locks, a lock escalation will occur if and only if a Transact-SQL statement has acquired at least 5, locks on a single reference of a table.<\/p>\n

Lock escalation is triggered when a Transact-SQL statement acquires at least 5, locks on a single reference of a table. For example, lock escalation is not triggered if a statement acquires 3, locks in one index and 3, locks in another index of the same table. Similarly, lock escalation is not triggered if a statement has a self join on a table, and each reference to the table only acquires 3, locks in the table. Lock escalation only occurs for tables that have been accessed at the time the escalation is triggered.<\/p>\n

The statement acquires 3, row locks in the clustered index for TableA and at least 5, row locks in the clustered index for TableB , but has not yet accessed TableC. When the Database Engine detects that the statement has acquired at least 5, row locks in TableB , it attempts to escalate all locks held by the current transaction on TableB. It also attempts to escalate all locks held by the current transaction on TableA , but since the number of locks on TableA is less than 5,, the escalation will not succeed.<\/p>\n

No lock escalation is attempted for TableC because it had not yet been accessed when the escalation occurred. Whenever the number of locks is greater than the memory threshold for lock escalation, the Database Engine triggers lock escalation. The memory threshold depends on the setting of the locks configuration option :.<\/p>\n

If the locks option is set to its default setting of 0, then the lock escalation threshold is reached when the memory used by lock objects is 24 percent of the memory used by the Database Engine, excluding AWE memory. The data structure used to represent a lock is approximately bytes long. This threshold is dynamic because the Database Engine dynamically acquires and frees memory to adjust for varying workloads.<\/p>\n

If the locks option is a value other than 0, then the lock escalation threshold is 40 percent or less if there is a memory pressure of the value of the locks option. The Database Engine can choose any active statement from any session for escalation, and for every 1, new locks it will choose statements for escalation as long as the lock memory used in the instance remains above the threshold.<\/p>\n

When lock escalation occurs, the lock selected for the heap or index is strong enough to meet the requirements of the most restrictive lower level lock. If the SELECT statement acquires enough locks to trigger lock escalation and the escalation succeeds, the IX lock on the table is converted to an X lock, and all the row, page, and index locks are freed.<\/p>\n

Both the updates and reads are protected by the X lock on the table. In most cases, the Database Engine delivers the best performance when operating with its default settings for locking and lock escalation.<\/p>\n

If an instance of the Database Engine generates a lot of locks and is seeing frequent lock escalations, consider reducing the amount of locking by:. Using this option, however, increases the problems of users blocking other users attempting to access the same data and should not be used in systems with more than a few concurrent users.<\/p>\n

Break up large batch operations into several smaller operations. For example, suppose you ran the following query to remove several hundred thousand old records from an audit table, and then you found that it caused a lock escalation that blocked other users:. By removing these records a few hundred at a time, you can dramatically reduce the number of locks that accumulate per transaction and prevent lock escalation.<\/p>\n

For example:. Reduce a query’s lock footprint by making the query as efficient as possible. Large scans or large numbers of Bookmark Lookups may increase the chance of lock escalation; additionally, it increases the chance of deadlocks, and generally adversely affects concurrency and performance.<\/p>\n

After you find the query that causes lock escalation, look for opportunities to create new indexes or to add columns to an existing index to remove index or table scans and to maximize the efficiency of index seeks.<\/p>\n

Consider using the Database Engine Tuning Advisor to perform an automatic index analysis on the query. One goal of this optimization is to make index seeks return as few rows as possible to minimize the cost of Bookmark Lookups maximize the selectivity of the index for the particular query. If the Database Engine does use PREFETCH for a bookmark lookup, it must increase the transaction isolation level of a portion of the query to repeatable read for a portion of the query. This means that what may look similar to a SELECT statement at a read-committed isolation level may acquire many thousands of key locks on both the clustered index and one nonclustered index , which can cause such a query to exceed the lock escalation thresholds.<\/p>\n

This is especially important if you find that the escalated lock is a shared table lock, which, however, is not commonly seen at the default read-committed isolation level. It may be possible to create a covering index an index that includes all columns in a table that were used in the query , or at least an index that covers the columns that were used for join criteria or in the WHERE clause if including everything in the select column list is impractical.<\/p>\n

Lock escalation cannot occur if a different SPID is currently holding an incompatible table lock. Lock escalation always escalates to a table lock, and never to page locks. Instead, it continues to acquire locks at its original, more granular level row, key, or page , periodically making additional escalation attempts. Therefore, one method to prevent lock escalation on a particular table is to acquire and to hold a lock on a different connection that is not compatible with the escalated lock type.<\/p>\n

An IX intent exclusive lock at the table level does not lock any rows or pages, but it is still not compatible with an escalated S shared or X exclusive TAB lock. For example, assume that you must run a batch job that modifies a large number of rows in the mytable table and that has caused blocking that occurs because of lock escalation.<\/p>\n

If this job always completes in less than an hour, you might create a Transact-SQL job that contains the following code, and schedule the new job to start several minutes before the batch job’s start time:.<\/p>\n

This query acquires and holds an IX lock on mytable for one hour, which prevents lock escalation on the table during that time.<\/p>\n

You can also use trace flags and to disable all or some lock escalations. However, these trace flags disable all lock escalation globally for the entire Database Engine. Lock escalation serves a very useful purpose in the Database Engine by maximizing the efficiency of queries that are otherwise slowed down by the overhead of acquiring and releasing several thousands of locks.<\/p>\n

Lock escalation also helps to minimize the required memory to keep track of locks. The memory that the Database Engine can dynamically allocate for lock structures is finite, so if you disable lock escalation and the lock memory grows large enough, attempts to allocate additional locks for any query may fail and the following error occurs:.<\/p>\n

When error occurs, it stops the processing of the current statement and causes a rollback of the active transaction. The rollback itself may block users or lead to a long database recovery time if you restart the database service. Lock hints do not prevent lock escalation.<\/p>\n

Using low-level locks, such as row locks, increases concurrency by decreasing the probability that two transactions will request locks on the same piece of data at the same time. Using low-level locks also increases the number of locks and the resources needed to manage them. Using high-level table or page locks lowers overhead, but at the expense of lowering concurrency. The SQL Server Database Engine automatically determines what locks are most appropriate when the query is executed, based on the characteristics of the schema and query.<\/p>\n

For example, to reduce the overhead of locking, the optimizer may choose page-level locks in an index when performing an index scan. A deadlock occurs when two or more tasks permanently block each other by each task having a lock on a resource that the other tasks are trying to lock.<\/p>\n

Transaction A cannot complete until transaction B completes, but transaction B is blocked by transaction A. This condition is also called a cyclic dependency: Transaction A has a dependency on transaction B, and transaction B closes the circle by having a dependency on transaction A.<\/p>\n

Both transactions in a deadlock will wait forever unless the deadlock is broken by an external process. If the monitor detects a cyclic dependency, it chooses one of the tasks as a victim and terminates its transaction with an error.<\/p>\n

This allows the other task to complete its transaction. The application with the transaction that terminated with an error can retry the transaction, which usually completes after the other deadlocked transaction has finished. Deadlocking is often confused with normal blocking. When a transaction requests a lock on a resource locked by another transaction, the requesting transaction waits until the lock is released. The requesting transaction is blocked, not deadlocked, because the requesting transaction has not done anything to block the transaction owning the lock.<\/p>\n

Eventually, the owning transaction will complete and release the lock, and then the requesting transaction will be granted the lock and proceed. Deadlock is a condition that can occur on any system with multiple threads, not just on a relational database management system, and can occur for resources other than locks on database objects. For example, a thread in a multithreaded operating system might acquire one or more resources, such as blocks of memory.<\/p>\n

If the resource being acquired is currently owned by another thread, the first thread may have to wait for the owning thread to release the target resource. The waiting thread is said to have a dependency on the owning thread for that particular resource. In an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine, sessions can deadlock when acquiring nondatabase resources, such as memory or threads.<\/p>\n

In the illustration, transaction T1 has a dependency on transaction T2 for the Part table lock resource. Similarly, transaction T2 has a dependency on transaction T1 for the Supplier table lock resource. Because these dependencies form a cycle, there is a deadlock between transactions T1 and T2. However, when separate transactions hold partition locks in a table and want a lock somewhere on the other transactions partition, this causes a deadlock.<\/p>\n

The following graph presents a high level view of a deadlock state where:. Each user session might have one or more tasks running on its behalf where each task might acquire or wait to acquire a variety of resources. The following types of resources can cause blocking that could result in a deadlock. Waiting to acquire locks on resources, such as objects, pages, rows, metadata, and applications can cause deadlock.<\/p>\n

For example, transaction T1 has a shared S lock on row r1 and is waiting to get an exclusive X lock on r2. Transaction T2 has a shared S lock on r2 and is waiting to get an exclusive X lock on row r1.<\/p>\n

This results in a lock cycle in which T1 and T2 wait for each other to release the locked resources. Worker threads. A queued task waiting for an available worker thread can cause deadlock. If the queued task owns resources that are blocking all worker threads, a deadlock will result.<\/p>\n

For example, session S1 starts a transaction and acquires a shared S lock on row r1 and then goes to sleep. Active sessions running on all available worker threads are trying to acquire exclusive X locks on row r1. Because session S1 cannot acquire a worker thread, it cannot commit the transaction and release the lock on row r1. This results in a deadlock. When concurrent requests are waiting for memory grants that cannot be satisfied with the available memory, a deadlock can occur.<\/p>\n

For example, two concurrent queries, Q1 and Q2, execute as user-defined functions that acquire 10 MB and 20 MB of memory respectively. If each query needs 30 MB and the total available memory is 20 MB, then Q1 and Q2 must wait for each other to release memory, and this results in a deadlock.<\/p>\n

Parallel query execution-related resources. Coordinator, producer, or consumer threads associated with an exchange port may block each other causing a deadlock usually when including at least one other process that is not a part of the parallel query. Also, when a parallel query starts execution, SQL Server determines the degree of parallelism, or the number of worker threads, based upon the current workload.<\/p>\n

If the system workload unexpectedly changes, for example, where new queries start running on the server or the system runs out of worker threads, then a deadlock could occur. These resources are used to control interleaving of multiple active requests under MARS.<\/p>\n

I agree there were a lot of issues, especially with the new features and improvements, but I think most of the problems were stabilized. What is your opinion? Next year the only really supported version will be SQL extended support is only for Security fixes.<\/p>\n

I have one question. We have SSAS tabular \u2014 version. We have upgraded from to version. I guess this means I should also be testing against SQL when released before its features are introduced to Azure SQL and hope theres nothing breaking in there?! How do others plan for something unknown? This is really beyond the scope of this blog post, unfortunately. Your email address will not be published. Post Comment.

Want to advertise here and reach my savvy readers? Last Updated 2 months ago Brent Ozar. Moving on. You use log shipping as a reporting tool, and you have tricky permissions requirements because they added new server-level roles that make this easier.<\/p>\n

You still have to put in time to find the queries that are gonna get slower, and figure out how to mitigate those. This meant you could write one version of your application that worked at both your small clients on Standard, and your big clients on Enterprise. This grid has a great comparison of what changed with columnstore over the years. Remember, there are no more Service Packs, just Cumulative Updates.<\/p>\n

You have a zero-RPO goal and financial risks \u2014 because added a new minimum commit replica setting on AGs that will let you guarantee commits were received by multiple replicas You want easier future upgrades \u2014 because starting with , you can have a Distributed Availability Group with different versions of SQL Server in it.<\/p>\n

You need high performance columnstore queries \u2014 because we got a lot of cool stuff for batch mode execution plans. Some of the clustering bugs have really made my eyebrows raise. That makes me pretty uncomfortable for mission-critical production environments.<\/p>\n

You heavily rely on user-defined functions \u2014 because can dramatically speed those up , although you need to do a lot of testing there, and be aware that Microsoft has walked back a lot of the improvements. You rely heavily on table variables, and you can change the code \u2014 those are getting better too. Your DR plan is Azure Managed Instances \u2014 because will theoretically make it possible to fail over to MIs, and more importantly, fail back when the disaster is over.<\/p>\n

CHECK constraints cannot be defined on text , ntext , or image columns. For a report on the views and stored procedures that depend on a table, use sys. The nullability of a column determines whether that column can allow a null value NULL as the data in that column.<\/p>\n

We recommend that you always explicitly define a column as NULL or NOT NULL for noncomputed columns or, if you use a user-defined data type, that you allow the column to use the default nullability of the data type. Sparse columns must always allow NULL. When column nullability is not explicitly specified, column nullability follows the rules shown in the following table.<\/p>\n

If the column is a computed column, its nullability is always automatically determined by the Database Engine. System tables cannot be enabled for compression.<\/p>\n

When you are creating a table, data compression is set to NONE, unless specified otherwise. If you specify a list of partitions or a partition that is out of range, an error will be generated. For a more information about data compression, see Data Compression. Because a constraint name is not specified, the system supplies the constraint name. Foreign keys can be single-column keys or multicolumn keys.<\/p>\n

Note that the column name does not have to be the same in both tables. Multicolumn key constraints are created as table constraints. The following example shows how to reference this key from another table; an explicit constraint name is optional. The following example enforces a restriction that the Name column of the Product table must be unique. For example, the AdventureWorks database could include a lookup table listing the different jobs employees can fill in the company.<\/p>\n

Under a column that describes each job, a character string default could supply a description when an actual description is not entered explicitly. Use the following example to get the current date for an entry.<\/p>\n

A niladic-function scan can also improve data integrity. To keep track of the user that inserted a row, use the niladic-function for USER. Do not enclose the niladic-functions with parentheses. The following example shows a restriction made to values that are entered into the CreditRating column of the Vendor table. The constraint is unnamed. This example shows a named constraint with a pattern restriction on the character data entered into a column of a table. This example specifies that the values must be within a specific list or follow a specified pattern.<\/p>\n

The following example shows the complete table definitions with all constraint definitions for table PurchaseOrderDetail created in the AdventureWorks database. Note that to run the sample, the table schema is changed to dbo. The following example creates a partition function to partition a table or index into four partitions.<\/p>\n

Then, the example creates a partition scheme that specifies the filegroups in which to hold each of the four partitions. Finally, the example creates a table that uses the partition scheme. This example assumes the filegroups already exist in the database. Based on the values of column col1 of PartitionTable , the partitions are assigned in the following ways. The following example creates a table with a uniqueidentifier column. The following example creates a table with one column defined as user-defined type utf8string , assuming that the type’s assembly, and the type itself, have already been created in the current database.<\/p>\n

A second column is defined based on utf8string , and uses method ToString of type class utf8string to compute a value for the column. For additional data compression examples, see Data Compression. Applies to : SQL Server The following examples show to how to create a table that has a sparse column, and a table that has two sparse columns and a column set.<\/p>\n

The examples use the basic syntax. This example creates a table that has two sparse columns and a column set named CSet. The following examples show how to create a temporal table linked to a new history table, and how to create a temporal table linked to an existing history table. Note that the temporal table must have a primary key defined to be enabled for the table to be enabled for system versioning.<\/p>\n

For examples showing how to add or remove system versioning on an existing table, see System Versioning in Examples.<\/p>\n

For use cases, see Temporal Tables. The following example shows how to create a system-versioned memory-optimized temporal table linked to a new disk-based history table. The following example creates a table with two encrypted columns. For more information, see Always Encrypted. Creates a table with an anonymously named compound primary key. This is useful to avoid run-time conflicts where two session-scoped temp tables, each in a separate session, use the same name for a constraint.<\/p>\n

The problem arises from the fact that while the temp table name is unique, the constraint names are not. This select fails due to the database scope for the global temp tables. The following example creates a table with data retention enabled and a retention period of 1 week. The following example creates an updatable ledger table that is not a temporal table with an anonymous history table the system will generate the name of the history table and the generated ledger view name.<\/p>\n

As the names of the required generated always columns and the additional columns in the ledger view are not specified, the columns will have the default names. The following example creates a table that is both a temporal table and an updatable ledger table, with an anonymous history table with a name generated by the system , the generated ledger view name and the default names of the generated always columns and the additional ledger view columns.<\/p>\n

The following example creates a table that is both a temporal table and an updatable ledger table with the explicitly named history table, the user-specified name of the ledger view, and the user-specified names of generated always columns and additional columns in the ledger view. The following example creates an append-only ledger table with the generated names of the ledger view and the columns in the ledger view.<\/p>\n

The following example creates a ledger database in Azure SQL Database and an updatable ledger table using the default settings.<\/p>\n

The data structure used to represent a lock is approximately bytes long. This threshold is dynamic because the Database Engine dynamically acquires and frees memory to adjust for varying workloads. If the locks option is a value other than 0, then the lock escalation threshold is 40 percent or less if there is a memory pressure of the value of the locks option. The Database Engine can choose any active statement from any session for escalation, and for every 1, new locks it will choose statements for escalation as long as the lock memory used in the instance remains above the threshold.<\/p>\n

When lock escalation occurs, the lock selected for the heap or index is strong enough to meet the requirements of the most restrictive lower level lock. If the SELECT statement acquires enough locks to trigger lock escalation and the escalation succeeds, the IX lock on the table is converted to an X lock, and all the row, page, and index locks are freed. Both the updates and reads are protected by the X lock on the table. In most cases, the Database Engine delivers the best performance when operating with its default settings for locking and lock escalation.<\/p>\n

If an instance of the Database Engine generates a lot of locks and is seeing frequent lock escalations, consider reducing the amount of locking by:.<\/p>\n

Using this option, however, increases the problems of users blocking other users attempting to access the same data and should not be used in systems with more than a few concurrent users. Break up large batch operations into several smaller operations. For example, suppose you ran the following query to remove several hundred thousand old records from an audit table, and then you found that it caused a lock escalation that blocked other users:. By removing these records a few hundred at a time, you can dramatically reduce the number of locks that accumulate per transaction and prevent lock escalation.<\/p>\n

For example:. Reduce a query’s lock footprint by making the query as efficient as possible. Large scans or large numbers of Bookmark Lookups may increase the chance of lock escalation; additionally, it increases the chance of deadlocks, and generally adversely affects concurrency and performance.<\/p>\n

After you find the query that causes lock escalation, look for opportunities to create new indexes or to add columns to an existing index to remove index or table scans and to maximize the efficiency of index seeks. Consider using the Database Engine Tuning Advisor to perform an automatic index analysis on the query.<\/p>\n

One goal of this optimization is to make index seeks return as few rows as possible to minimize the cost of Bookmark Lookups maximize the selectivity of the index for the particular query. If the Database Engine does use PREFETCH for a bookmark lookup, it must increase the transaction isolation level of a portion of the query to repeatable read for a portion of the query.<\/p>\n

This means that what may look similar to a SELECT statement at a read-committed isolation level may acquire many thousands of key locks on both the clustered index and one nonclustered index , which can cause such a query to exceed the lock escalation thresholds.<\/p>\n

This is especially important if you find that the escalated lock is a shared table lock, which, however, is not commonly seen at the default read-committed isolation level. It may be possible to create a covering index an index that includes all columns in a table that were used in the query , or at least an index that covers the columns that were used for join criteria or in the WHERE clause if including everything in the select column list is impractical.<\/p>\n

Lock escalation cannot occur if a different SPID is currently holding an incompatible table lock. Lock escalation always escalates to a table lock, and never to page locks.<\/p>\n

Instead, it continues to acquire locks at its original, more granular level row, key, or page , periodically making additional escalation attempts. Therefore, one method to prevent lock escalation on a particular table is to acquire and to hold a lock on a different connection that is not compatible with the escalated lock type.<\/p>\n

An IX intent exclusive lock at the table level does not lock any rows or pages, but it is still not compatible with an escalated S shared or X exclusive TAB lock. For example, assume that you must run a batch job that modifies a large number of rows in the mytable table and that has caused blocking that occurs because of lock escalation.<\/p>\n

If this job always completes in less than an hour, you might create a Transact-SQL job that contains the following code, and schedule the new job to start several minutes before the batch job’s start time:. This query acquires and holds an IX lock on mytable for one hour, which prevents lock escalation on the table during that time. You can also use trace flags and to disable all or some lock escalations. However, these trace flags disable all lock escalation globally for the entire Database Engine.<\/p>\n

Lock escalation serves a very useful purpose in the Database Engine by maximizing the efficiency of queries that are otherwise slowed down by the overhead of acquiring and releasing several thousands of locks. Lock escalation also helps to minimize the required memory to keep track of locks. The memory that the Database Engine can dynamically allocate for lock structures is finite, so if you disable lock escalation and the lock memory grows large enough, attempts to allocate additional locks for any query may fail and the following error occurs:.<\/p>\n

When error occurs, it stops the processing of the current statement and causes a rollback of the active transaction. The rollback itself may block users or lead to a long database recovery time if you restart the database service.<\/p>\n

Lock hints do not prevent lock escalation. Using low-level locks, such as row locks, increases concurrency by decreasing the probability that two transactions will request locks on the same piece of data at the same time.<\/p>\n

Using low-level locks also increases the number of locks and the resources needed to manage them. Using high-level table or page locks lowers overhead, but at the expense of lowering concurrency. The SQL Server Database Engine automatically determines what locks are most appropriate when the query is executed, based on the characteristics of the schema and query.<\/p>\n

For example, to reduce the overhead of locking, the optimizer may choose page-level locks in an index when performing an index scan. A deadlock occurs when two or more tasks permanently block each other by each task having a lock on a resource that the other tasks are trying to lock. Transaction A cannot complete until transaction B completes, but transaction B is blocked by transaction A. This condition is also called a cyclic dependency: Transaction A has a dependency on transaction B, and transaction B closes the circle by having a dependency on transaction A.<\/p>\n

Both transactions in a deadlock will wait forever unless the deadlock is broken by an external process. If the monitor detects a cyclic dependency, it chooses one of the tasks as a victim and terminates its transaction with an error. This allows the other task to complete its transaction.<\/p>\n

The application with the transaction that terminated with an error can retry the transaction, which usually completes after the other deadlocked transaction has finished. Deadlocking is often confused with normal blocking. When a transaction requests a lock on a resource locked by another transaction, the requesting transaction waits until the lock is released.<\/p>\n

The requesting transaction is blocked, not deadlocked, because the requesting transaction has not done anything to block the transaction owning the lock. Eventually, the owning transaction will complete and release the lock, and then the requesting transaction will be granted the lock and proceed. Deadlock is a condition that can occur on any system with multiple threads, not just on a relational database management system, and can occur for resources other than locks on database objects.<\/p>\n

For example, a thread in a multithreaded operating system might acquire one or more resources, such as blocks of memory. If the resource being acquired is currently owned by another thread, the first thread may have to wait for the owning thread to release the target resource. The waiting thread is said to have a dependency on the owning thread for that particular resource.<\/p>\n

In an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine, sessions can deadlock when acquiring nondatabase resources, such as memory or threads. In the illustration, transaction T1 has a dependency on transaction T2 for the Part table lock resource. Similarly, transaction T2 has a dependency on transaction T1 for the Supplier table lock resource.<\/p>\n

Because these dependencies form a cycle, there is a deadlock between transactions T1 and T2. However, when separate transactions hold partition locks in a table and want a lock somewhere on the other transactions partition, this causes a deadlock. The following graph presents a high level view of a deadlock state where:. Each user session might have one or more tasks running on its behalf where each task might acquire or wait to acquire a variety of resources.<\/p>\n

The following types of resources can cause blocking that could result in a deadlock. Waiting to acquire locks on resources, such as objects, pages, rows, metadata, and applications can cause deadlock. For example, transaction T1 has a shared S lock on row r1 and is waiting to get an exclusive X lock on r2.<\/p>\n

Transaction T2 has a shared S lock on r2 and is waiting to get an exclusive X lock on row r1. This results in a lock cycle in which T1 and T2 wait for each other to release the locked resources. Worker threads.<\/p>\n

A queued task waiting for an available worker thread can cause deadlock. If the queued task owns resources that are blocking all worker threads, a deadlock will result. For example, session S1 starts a transaction and acquires a shared S lock on row r1 and then goes to sleep. Active sessions running on all available worker threads are trying to acquire exclusive X locks on row r1.<\/p>\n

Because session S1 cannot acquire a worker thread, it cannot commit the transaction and release the lock on row r1. This results in a deadlock. When concurrent requests are waiting for memory grants that cannot be satisfied with the available memory, a deadlock can occur.<\/p>\n

For example, two concurrent queries, Q1 and Q2, execute as user-defined functions that acquire 10 MB and 20 MB of memory respectively.<\/p>\n

If each query needs 30 MB and the total available memory is 20 MB, then Q1 and Q2 must wait for each other to release memory, and this results in a deadlock. Parallel query execution-related resources. Coordinator, producer, or consumer threads associated with an exchange port may block each other causing a deadlock usually when including at least one other process that is not a part of the parallel query. Also, when a parallel query starts execution, SQL Server determines the degree of parallelism, or the number of worker threads, based upon the current workload.<\/p>\n

If the system workload unexpectedly changes, for example, where new queries start running on the server or the system runs out of worker threads, then a deadlock could occur.<\/p>\n

These resources are used to control interleaving of multiple active requests under MARS. User resource. When a thread is waiting for a resource that is potentially controlled by a user application, the resource is considered to be an external or user resource and is treated like a lock.<\/p>\n

Session mutex. The tasks running in one session are interleaved, meaning that only one task can run under the session at a given time. Before the task can run, it must have exclusive access to the session mutex.<\/p>\n

Transaction mutex. All tasks running in one transaction are interleaved, meaning that only one task can run under the transaction at a given time. Before the task can run, it must have exclusive access to the transaction mutex.<\/p>\n

In order for a task to run under MARS, it must acquire the session mutex. If the task is running under a transaction, it must then acquire the transaction mutex. This guarantees that only one task is active at one time in a given session and a given transaction. Once the required mutexes have been acquired, the task can execute. When the task finishes, or yields in the middle of the request, it will first release transaction mutex followed by the session mutex in reverse order of acquisition.<\/p>\n

However, deadlocks can occur with these resources. In the following code example, two tasks, user request U1 and user request U2, are running in the same session. The stored procedure executing from user request U1 has acquired the session mutex. If the stored procedure takes a long time to execute, it is assumed by the SQL Server Database Engine that the stored procedure is waiting for input from the user. User request U2 is waiting for the session mutex while the user is waiting for the result set from U2, and U1 is waiting for a user resource.<\/p>\n

This is deadlock state logically illustrated as:. All of the resources listed in the section above participate in the SQL Server Database Engine deadlock detection scheme. Deadlock detection is performed by a lock monitor thread that periodically initiates a search through all of the tasks in an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine.<\/p>\n

The following points describe the search process:. Because the number of deadlocks encountered in the system is usually small, periodic deadlock detection helps to reduce the overhead of deadlock detection in the system. When the lock monitor initiates deadlock search for a particular thread, it identifies the resource on which the thread is waiting. The lock monitor then finds the owner s for that particular resource and recursively continues the deadlock search for those threads until it finds a cycle.<\/p>\n

A cycle identified in this manner forms a deadlock. After a deadlock is detected, the SQL Server Database Engine ends a deadlock by choosing one of the threads as a deadlock victim. The SQL Server Database Engine terminates the current batch being executed for the thread, rolls back the transaction of the deadlock victim, and returns a error to the application. Rolling back the transaction for the deadlock victim releases all locks held by the transaction. This allows the transactions of the other threads to become unblocked and continue.<\/p>\n

The deadlock victim error records information about the threads and resources involved in a deadlock in the error log. By default, the SQL Server Database Engine chooses as the deadlock victim the session running the transaction that is least expensive to roll back.<\/p>\n

If two sessions have different deadlock priorities, the session with the lower priority is chosen as the deadlock victim. If both sessions have the same deadlock priority, the session with the transaction that is least expensive to roll back is chosen. If sessions involved in the deadlock cycle have the same deadlock priority and the same cost, a victim is chosen randomly. However, the deadlock is resolved by throwing an exception in the procedure that was selected to be the deadlock victim.<\/p>\n

It is important to understand that the exception does not automatically release resources currently owned by the victim; the resources must be explicitly released. Consistent with exception behavior, the exception used to identify a deadlock victim can be caught and dismissed.<\/p>\n

Starting with SQL Server Also starting with SQL Server When deadlocks occur, trace flag and trace flag return information that is captured in the SQL Server error log. Trace flag reports deadlock information formatted by each node involved in the deadlock. Trace flag formats deadlock information, first by processes and then by resources.<\/p>\n

It is possible to enable both trace flags to obtain two representations of the same deadlock event. Avoid using trace flag and on workload-intensive systems that are causing deadlocks. Using these trace flags may introduce performance issues. Instead, use the Deadlock Extended Event. In addition to defining the properties of trace flag and , the following table also shows the similarities and differences.<\/p>\n

The following example shows the output when trace flag is turned on. In this case, the table in Node 1 is a heap with no indexes, and the table in Node 2 is a heap with a nonclustered index. The index key in Node 2 is being updated when the deadlock occurs.<\/p>\n

In this case, one table is a heap with no indexes, and the other table is a heap with a nonclustered index. In the second table, the index key is being updated when the deadlock occurs. This is an event in SQL Profiler that presents a graphical depiction of the tasks and resources involved in a deadlock.<\/p>\n

The following example shows the output from SQL Profiler when the deadlock graph event is turned on. For more information about the deadlock event, see Lock:Deadlock Event Class. When an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine chooses a transaction as a deadlock victim, it terminates the current batch, rolls back the transaction, and returns error message to the application. Rerun your transaction. Because any application submitting Transact-SQL queries can be chosen as the deadlock victim, applications should have an error handler that can trap error message If an application does not trap the error, the application can proceed unaware that its transaction has been rolled back and errors can occur.<\/p>\n

Implementing an error handler that traps error message allows an application to handle the deadlock situation and take remedial action for example, automatically resubmitting the query that was involved in the deadlock. By resubmitting the query automatically, the user does not need to know that a deadlock occurred.<\/p>\n

The application should pause briefly before resubmitting its query. This gives the other transaction involved in the deadlock a chance to complete and release its locks that formed part of the deadlock cycle.<\/p>\n

This minimizes the likelihood of the deadlock reoccurring when the resubmitted query requests its locks. Although deadlocks cannot be completely avoided, following certain coding conventions can minimize the chance of generating a deadlock.<\/p>\n

Minimizing deadlocks can increase transaction throughput and reduce system overhead because fewer transactions are:. If all concurrent transactions access objects in the same order, deadlocks are less likely to occur. For example, if two concurrent transactions obtain a lock on the Supplier table and then on the Part table, one transaction is blocked on the Supplier table until the other transaction is completed.<\/p>\n

After the first transaction commits or rolls back, the second continues, and a deadlock does not occur. Using stored procedures for all data modifications can standardize the order of accessing objects. Avoid writing transactions that include user interaction, because the speed of batches running without user intervention is much faster than the speed at which a user must manually respond to queries, such as replying to a prompt for a parameter requested by an application.<\/p>\n

For example, if a transaction is waiting for user input and the user goes to lunch or even home for the weekend, the user delays the transaction from completing. This degrades system throughput because any locks held by the transaction are released only when the transaction is committed or rolled back. Even if a deadlock situation does not arise, other transactions accessing the same resources are blocked while waiting for the transaction to complete.<\/p>\n

A deadlock typically occurs when several long-running transactions execute concurrently in the same database. The longer the transaction, the longer the exclusive or update locks are held, blocking other activity and leading to possible deadlock situations. Keeping transactions in one batch minimizes network roundtrips during a transaction, reducing possible delays in completing the transaction and releasing locks. Determine whether a transaction can run at a lower isolation level.<\/p>\n

Implementing read committed allows a transaction to read data previously read not modified by another transaction without waiting for the first transaction to complete. Using a lower isolation level, such as read committed, holds shared locks for a shorter duration than a higher isolation level, such as serializable.<\/p>\n

This reduces locking contention. Some applications rely upon locking and blocking behavior of read committed isolation. For these applications, some change is required before this option can be enabled.<\/p>\n

Snapshot isolation also uses row versioning, which does not use shared locks during read operations. Implement these isolation levels to minimize deadlocks that can occur between read and write operations. Using bound connections, two or more connections opened by the same application can cooperate with each other.<\/p>\n

Any locks acquired by the secondary connections are held as if they were acquired by the primary connection, and vice versa. Therefore they do not block each other. For large computer systems, locks on frequently referenced objects can become a performance bottleneck as acquiring and releasing locks place contention on internal locking resources.<\/p>\n

Lock partitioning enhances locking performance by splitting a single lock resource into multiple lock resources. This feature is only available for systems with 16 or more CPUs, and is automatically enabled and cannot be disabled. Only object locks can be partitioned. Object locks that have a subtype are not partitioned. For more information, see sys. Without lock partitioning, one spinlock manages all lock requests for a single lock resource.<\/p>\n

On systems that experience a large volume of activity, contention can occur as lock requests wait for the spinlock to become available. Under this situation, acquiring locks can become a bottleneck and can negatively impact performance.<\/p>\n

To reduce contention on a single lock resource, lock partitioning splits a single lock resource into multiple lock resources to distribute the load across multiple spinlocks.<\/p>\n

Once the spinlock is acquired, lock structures are stored in memory and then accessed and possibly modified.<\/p>\n

Distributing lock access across multiple resources helps to eliminate the need to transfer memory blocks between CPUs, which will help to improve performance. Lock partitioning is turned on by default for systems with 16 or more CPUs.<\/p>\n

When lock partitioning is enabled, an informational message is recorded in the SQL Server error log. These locks on a partitioned resource will use more memory than locks in the same mode on a non-partitioned resource since each partition is effectively a separate lock. The memory increase is determined by the number of partitions.<\/p>\n

The SQL Server lock counters in the Windows Performance Monitor will display information about memory used by partitioned and non-partitioned locks. A transaction is assigned to a partition when the transaction starts. For the transaction, all lock requests that can be partitioned use the partition assigned to that transaction. By this method, access to lock resources of the same object by different transactions is distributed across different partitions. The following code examples illustrate lock partitioning.<\/p>\n

In the examples, two transactions are executed in two different sessions in order to show lock partitioning behavior on a computer system with 16 CPUs. The IS lock will be acquired only on the partition assigned to the transaction. For this example, it is assumed that the IS lock is acquired on partition ID 7. A transaction is started, and the SELECT statement running under this transaction will acquire and retain a shared S lock on the table.<\/p>\n

The S lock will be acquired on all partitions, which results in multiple table locks, one for each partition. For example, on a cpu system, 16 S locks will be issued across lock partition IDs Because the S lock is compatible with the IS lock being held on partition ID 7 by the transaction in session 1, there is no blocking between transactions.<\/p>\n

Because of the exclusive X table lock hint, the transaction will attempt to acquire an X lock on the table. However, the S lock that is being held by the transaction in session 2 will block the X lock at partition ID 0. For this example, it is assumed that the IS lock is acquired on partition ID 6.<\/p>\n
