Opening tables via SSMS right-click

    Can anyone tell me if opening a table in SSMS via right-click > open table causes a table lock to be acquired and held?

    Thanks,

    yes it does; at a minimum, i followed your steps and got a shared lock on the table; you can check it yourself by doing as you described, and then in another window run sp_lock;

    as you start changing data, you can rerun sp_lock and see the lock types changing as you work and commit your data changes. i was getting a shared "IS" table lock during my testing.
