Question

I have a report that shows some data from the database and is quite slow. It takes around 2 minutes to finish.
The problem is that while is executing the query is locking the table from which is getting the data. That locking makes some processes fail, like navision.

Is there any way to make it with a non blocking query?

Answer 1

You can pass a query hint and specify NOLOCK:

SELECT * FROM yourTable with (NOLOCK)
