Then Becker, Holger responded:




Did you check the possibility of lock collisions on the table.=20


You should have a look into system table lockstatistics.=20




Then Mark said:




Under the Information - Locks in the database manager I see=20


row Locks 312776=20


Table Locks 6487=20


These seem kind of high for what I'm doing. How do I prevent these from=20

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D


However, the final result is unknown.


I have the similar problem. and the problem might not come from locks.=20


Since restart the database, and then i am sure no connection to it at all.


then i open SQL Studio to delete one row, it took 30 minutes to get done.




Is there anyone know what might be the problem?




How can i check the unique index on the primary key is ok?


I have check all indexes, even recreated them.


but i am not sure if the specific index on the primary key exists.


or is it relevant?






Thanks for your respond in advance!
