| hi,I am running a sql job that select data from one database (multiple table) and inserts into another database (1 table)I have a problem with the way it is locking the tables I am selecting from !my query is like :insert into testdb.dbo.tabletest select * fromlivedb.dbo.tablexinner join liveb.dbo.table1 on tablex.id=table1.xidIt seems to be locking the table and blocking other users from accessing the table.suppose my question is why is the select locking the table ? |

| Use With(NOLOCK) option on tablex. As a side note, NOLOCK queries also run the risk of reading "phantom" data, or data rows that are available in one database transaction read but can be rolled back in another. |
