hi
Recently we faced a issue of locking happening to a linked oracle server table, when a sleect operation is done in SQL 2000.
for example select * from linkserver..dbname.my_table in SQL 2000 reportedly caused locking issues in oracle server where the actual table is located. I guess this is probably imposed by the linkedserver driver used.
Thought this can be solved by having a view in oracle for the select and calling the view in SQL. While that works, I need to verify if calling the view has indeed prevented the lock from being imposed on the table. I mean, like knowing if lock has been acquired on a table? Any solution ?
Also, how can i verify that the initial lock on a select on oracle table was imposed by the driver?
