When are shared read locks released?
When SQL Server Books online says that "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."
Assuming we're talking about a row-level lock, with no explicit transaction, at default isolation level (Read Committed), what does " read operation " refer to?
NOTE: The reason I need to know this is we have a several second read-only select statement generated by a data layer web service, which creates page-level shared read locks, generating a deadlock due to conflicting with row-level exclusive update locks from a replication prcoess that keeps the server updated. The select statement is fairly large, with many sub-selects, and one DBA is proposing that we rewrite it to break it up into multiple smaller statements (shorter running pieces), "to cut down on how long the locks are held". As this assumes that the shared read locks are held till the complete select statement has finished, if that is wrong (if locks are released when the row, or the page is read) then that approach would have no effect whatsoever....
It's pretty interesting to watch actually, you may want to fire up profiler and trace the lock acquisition/release of some simple queries. I did this awhile back, it was something like: acquire page 1 acquire row 1 acquire row 2 release row 1 acquire row 3 release row 2 acquire page 2 release page 1 ...
I may not be 100% correct, but that was basically the approach. So the lock is released after the row is read, or maybe more correctly it is after the next rows lock is acquired. I suspect this may have to do with keeping a consistent state for traversal.
I don't believe that it's acquiring two page level locks at the same time. I think it only appears in profiler that way because the events happen so quickly. if it occurs like you suspect, there would always be two page level locks, but when running a large query with shared lock, I sometimes see two page level locks and sometimes one through this query:
SELECT *
FROM sys.dm_tran_locks
WHERE request_session_id = <SPID>
So, what I think is happening is:
The result of two is that sometimes in the sys.dm_tran_lock query. I'm seeing two PAGE locks and sometimes one and a few times three.. depends on what occurs faster during simultaneous actions.
