Waitresource type

  • Hi all,

    When I look at the sysprocesses that are currently running, there is a MISC (00C47E48) under the waitresource and lastwaittype LATCH_EX and it has been there for the past two weeks. Would someone please let me know what this means please.

    Thank you

  • What version and service pack of SQL are you utilizing? The LATCH_EX is an Exclusive Latch, but the MISC is one I have never seen.

    I did find a great MSDN article that lists most (I used to think all until you threw the MISC out there) WaitResources

    I wish I could be more help

    Poked around a bit and found one reference to MISC - it is thought to be a lock based on hard drive IO speed

    Elroy: Nope.
    George: Then lie to me and say you're kidding.
