Find blocking process

neo
Hi,
we're having a problem with SQL 2000 and Opta 2000 JDBC driver
where there is large update running and at the same time,
read is blocked for a while.
We're looking for a way to catch this blocking process
and if it last more than 10 minutes, then email or send out a message.
I know sp_lock returns all current locks
but how do you know which one is blocking other processes?

Thanks for your help in advance.

The simplest way is to use sp_who. If a process is blocked, you will
see a non-zero value in the Blk column. This is the spid of the blocker.

Hello, I need to read a result of the first script (that takes some time to run) from the second script so that the first script doesn't block the second. Here is a short example. do_smth_else() should be called during test.php's sleep, instead the first fgets blocks the processing of the parent script and do_smth_else is called only once. How can I do a non-blocking fgets()? I use php 4.3.4 on windows xp $process = popen("c:\php\php...

I am experiencing blocking problems on SQL Server 2000, SP3a. I have read the posts and set up a job SQL agent to report on these occurences I save the results to a table before executing an sp to kill the offending process id. I am puzzled as to how a process that does no updating can be guilty of blocking. Typically, I think what is happening is a process that does no updates is blocking processes that are trying to do updates. Can...

Hi, I'm writing a proxy application for rfb protocol (vnc), but i'm not satisfied with it's performance. I'm using blocking i/o and the app just read(...) from source and the write(...) to destination. The performance diference between the client directly connected to the server and the client passing thru the proxy is very visible. Does non-blocking i/o solves my problem? Maybe the problem here is the unnecessary(?) wait in write(...)...

Hi, I'm developing an application that will support several thousand simultaneous connections on the server-side. I'm trying to maximize throughput. The client (WinForms) and server communicate via a socket connection (no remoting, no ASP.NET). The client sends a message to the server that contains some instructions and the server responds in an asynchronous fashion. In other words, the client doesn't block while waiting for the...

HOWTO Read from stdout without blocking. Please help, I have an app that is launching another process, where it is letting the new process inherit the STD-IN/OUT hanldes. The goal is to let the C# app use STDOUT to get feedback from the app after it starts. The problem is that the reading of STDOUT is blocking when the "EndRead" is called as such: ============================================

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
