I am using SQL Server 7.0, and I like it, but someone told me SQL Server has no real row locking, is this correct? This guy told me SQL Server creates a temporary table, a view, when you ask for a row locking. Is it real or just a mistake?TIA" |

| It's incorrect on both counts. SQL Server supports row locking via query hints, you can find more about them in Books Online under "hints".Ask your co-worker where they got their information. Probably from an Oracle person who hates SQL Server. |
