Locks/Object window

  • Hi

    I am lookinG at Locks/Object window in enterprise manager.

    There I get a window giving me the process id, lock type mode and so on. Those are easy to figure out, but the last one,"Resources", well I simply do not understand what it means.

    I get a number like this: 1:2000171:2. According to the help display the resource I am looking at is of type PAG and means "Page Number. The page is identified by a field:page combination, where the field is the field in the sysfile table, and page is the logical page number within that file."

    Anyone care to translate?

    I was trying to figure out if I could monitor one singel population of a table, can this be done?

     

    Regards

  • it's not "field" but "FileId"

    This is the file id from SYSFILES system table in that database which indicates the OS file ( ".dat" ) that the data resides on.

    page number is the logical page on that device/file

    and row number on that page is the last value.

    So that's file #1, page #2000171, and row #2 on that page.

    Try and find info on DBCC PAGE for dumping the contents.

    (this is as best as I recall, it's been a while)

     

     

  • There is a column named 'Index' in Locks/Object view. What's that mean?

    Index in tempdb?
