Hi guys


Columns with monotonously increasing values, such as a column with the IDENTITY property or TIMESTAMP columns, can be dangerous. They create a “hot spot” of activity on the last page. Good for certain types of OLTP applications because it minimizes page splits. But can also be bad for certain locking situations.


Explain me pls...how locking situations will be bad.
