sys.dm_tran_locks (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance Azure Synapse Analytics Analytics Platform System (PDW) Warehouse in Microsoft Fabric

Returns information about currently active lock manager resources in SQL Server. Each row represents a currently active request to the lock manager for a lock that has been granted or is waiting to be granted.

The columns in the result set are divided into two main groups: resource and request. The resource group describes the resource on which the lock request is being made, and the request group describes the lock request.

Note

To call this from Azure Synapse Analytics or Analytics Platform System (PDW), use the name sys.dm_pdw_nodes_tran_locks. This syntax is not supported by serverless SQL pool in Azure Synapse Analytics.

Column name Data type Description
resource_type nvarchar(60) Represents the resource type. The value can be:

DATABASE

FILE

OBJECT

PAGE

KEY

EXTENT

RID (Row ID)

APPLICATION

METADATA

HOBT (Heap or B-tree)

ALLOCATION_UNIT

XACT (Transaction)

OIB (Online index build)

ROW_GROUP
resource_subtype nvarchar(60) Represents a subtype of resource_type. Acquiring a subtype lock without holding a non-subtyped lock of the parent type is technically valid. Different subtypes do not conflict with each other or with the non-subtyped parent type. Not all resource types have subtypes.
resource_database_id int ID of the database under which this resource is scoped. All resources handled by the lock manager are scoped by the database ID.
resource_description nvarchar(256) Description of the resource that contains only information that is not available from other resource columns.
resource_associated_entity_id bigint ID of the entity in a database with which a resource is associated. This can be an object ID, HOBT ID, or an Allocation Unit ID, depending on the resource type.
resource_lock_partition Int ID of the lock partition for a partitioned lock resource. The value for nonpartitioned lock resources is 0.
request_mode nvarchar(60) Mode of the request. For granted requests, this is the granted mode; for waiting requests, this is the mode being requested.

NULL = No access is granted to the resource. Serves as a placeholder.

Sch-S (Schema stability) = Ensures that a schema element, such as a table or index, is not dropped while any session holds a schema stability lock on the schema element.

Sch-M (Schema modification) = Must be held by any session that wants to change the schema of the specified resource. Ensures that no other sessions are referencing the indicated object.

S (Shared) = The holding session is granted shared access to the resource.

U (Update) = Indicates an update lock acquired on resources that may eventually be updated. It is used to prevent a common form of deadlock that occurs when multiple sessions lock resources for potential update in the future.

X (Exclusive) = The holding session is granted exclusive access to the resource.

IS (Intent Shared) = Indicates the intention to place S locks on some subordinate resource in the lock hierarchy.

IU (Intent Update) = Indicates the intention to place U locks on some subordinate resource in the lock hierarchy.

IX (Intent Exclusive) = Indicates the intention to place X locks on some subordinate resource in the lock hierarchy.

SIU (Shared Intent Update) = Indicates shared access to a resource with the intent of acquiring update locks on subordinate resources in the lock hierarchy.

SIX (Shared Intent Exclusive) = Indicates shared access to a resource with the intent of acquiring exclusive locks on subordinate resources in the lock hierarchy.

UIX (Update Intent Exclusive) = Indicates an update lock hold on a resource with the intent of acquiring exclusive locks on subordinate resources in the lock hierarchy.

BU = Used by bulk operations.

RangeS_S (Shared Key-Range and Shared Resource lock) = Indicates serializable range scan.

RangeS_U (Shared Key-Range and Update Resource lock) = Indicates serializable update scan.

RangeI_N (Insert Key-Range and Null Resource lock) = Used to test ranges before inserting a new key into an index.

RangeI_S = Key-Range Conversion lock, created by an overlap of RangeI_N and S locks.

RangeI_U = Key-Range Conversion lock, created by an overlap of RangeI_N and U locks.

RangeI_X = Key-Range Conversion lock, created by an overlap of RangeI_N and X locks.

RangeX_S = Key-Range Conversion lock, created by an overlap of RangeI_N and RangeS_S. locks.

RangeX_U = Key-Range Conversion lock, created by an overlap of RangeI_N and RangeS_U locks.

RangeX_X (Exclusive Key-Range and Exclusive Resource lock) = This is a conversion lock used when updating a key in a range.
request_type nvarchar(60) Request type. The value is LOCK.
request_status nvarchar(60) Current status of this request. Possible values are GRANTED, CONVERT, WAIT, LOW_PRIORITY_CONVERT, LOW_PRIORITY_WAIT, or ABORT_BLOCKERS. For more information about low priority waits and abort blockers, see the low_priority_lock_wait section of ALTER INDEX (Transact-SQL).
request_reference_count smallint Returns an approximate number of times the same requestor has requested this resource.
request_lifetime int Identified for informational purposes only. Not supported. Future compatibility is not guaranteed.
request_session_id int session_id that currently owns this request. The owning session_id can change for distributed and bound transactions. A value of -2 indicates that the request belongs to an orphaned distributed transaction. A value of -3 indicates that the request belongs to a deferred recovery transaction, such as, a transaction for which a rollback has been deferred at recovery because the rollback could not be completed successfully.
request_exec_context_id int Execution context ID of the process that currently owns this request.
request_request_id int request_id (batch ID) of the process that currently owns this request. This value changes every time that the active Multiple Active Result Set (MARS) connection for a transaction changes.
request_owner_type nvarchar(60) Entity type that owns the request. Lock manager requests can be owned by a variety of entities. Possible values are:

TRANSACTION = The request is owned by a transaction.

CURSOR = The request is owned by a cursor.

SESSION = The request is owned by a user session.

SHARED_TRANSACTION_WORKSPACE = The request is owned by the shared part of the transaction workspace.

EXCLUSIVE_TRANSACTION_WORKSPACE = The request is owned by the exclusive part of the transaction workspace.

NOTIFICATION_OBJECT = The request is owned by an internal SQL Server component. This component has requested the lock manager to notify it when another component is waiting to take the lock. The FileTable feature is a component that uses this value.

Note: Work spaces are used internally to hold locks for enlisted sessions.
request_owner_id bigint ID of the specific owner of this request.

When a transaction is the owner of the request, this value contains the transaction ID.

When a FileTable is the owner of the request, request_owner_id has one of the following values:
request_owner_guid uniqueidentifier GUID of the specific owner of this request. This value is only used by a distributed transaction where the value corresponds to the MS DTC GUID for that transaction.
request_owner_lockspace_id nvarchar(32) Identified for informational purposes only. Not supported. Future compatibility is not guaranteed. This value represents the lockspace ID of the requestor. The lockspace ID determines whether two requestors are compatible with each other and can be granted locks in modes that would otherwise conflict with one another.
lock_owner_address varbinary(8) Memory address of the internal data structure that is used to track this request. This column can be joined the with resource_address column in sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks.
pdw_node_id int Applies to: Azure Synapse Analytics, Analytics Platform System (PDW)

The identifier for the node that this distribution is on.

Permissions

On SQL Server and SQL Managed Instance, requires VIEW SERVER STATE permission.

On SQL Database Basic, S0, and S1 service objectives, and for databases in elastic pools, the server admin account, the Microsoft Entra admin account, or membership in the ##MS_ServerStateReader## server role is required. On all other SQL Database service objectives, either the VIEW DATABASE STATE permission on the database, or membership in the ##MS_ServerStateReader## server role is required.

Permissions for SQL Server 2022 and later

Requires VIEW SERVER PERFORMANCE STATE permission on the server.

Remarks

A granted request status indicates that a lock has been granted on a resource to the requestor. A waiting request indicates that the request has not yet been granted. The following waiting-request types are returned by the request_status column:

  • A convert request status indicates that the requestor has already been granted a request for the resource and is currently waiting for an upgrade to the initial request to be granted.

  • A wait request status indicates that the requestor does not currently hold a granted request on the resource.

Because sys.dm_tran_locks is populated from internal lock manager data structures, maintaining this information does not add extra overhead to regular processing. Materializing the view does require access to the lock manager internal data structures. This can have minor effects on the regular processing in the server. These effects should be unnoticeable and should only affect heavily used resources. Because the data in this view corresponds to live lock manager state, the data can change at any time, and rows are added and removed as locks are acquired and released. Applications querying this view might experience unpredictable performance due to the nature of protecting the integrity of lock manager structures. This view has no historical information.

Two requests operate on the same resource only if all the resource-group columns are equal.

You can control the locking of read operations by using the following tools:

A resource that is running under one session_id can have more than one granted lock. Different entities that are running under one session can each own a lock on the same resource, and the information is displayed in the request_owner_type and request_owner_id columns that are returned by sys.dm_tran_locks. If multiple instances of the same request_owner_type exist, the request_owner_id column is used to distinguish each instance. For distributed transactions, the request_owner_type and the request_owner_guid columns show the different entity information.

For example, Session S1 owns a shared lock on Table1; and transaction T1, which is running under session S1, also owns a shared lock on Table1. In this case, the resource_description column that is returned by sys.dm_tran_locks shows two instances of the same resource. The request_owner_type column shows one instance as a session and the other as a transaction. Also, the resource_owner_id column has different values.

Multiple cursors that run under one session are indistinguishable and are treated as one entity.

Distributed transactions that are not associated with a session_id value are orphaned transactions and are assigned the session_id value of -2. For more information, see KILL (Transact-SQL).

Locks

Locks are held on SQL Server resources, such as rows read or modified during a transaction, to prevent concurrent use of resources by different transactions. For example, if an exclusive (X) lock is held on a row within a table by a transaction, no other transaction can modify that row until the lock is released. Minimizing locks increases concurrency, which can improve performance.

Resource details

The following table lists the resources that are represented in the resource_associated_entity_id column.

Resource type Resource description resource_associated_entity_id
DATABASE Represents a database. Not applicable
FILE Represents a database file. This file can be either a data or a log file. Not applicable
OBJECT Represents an object in a database. This object can be a data table, view, stored procedure, extended stored procedure, or any object that has an object ID. Object ID
PAGE Represents a single page in a data file. HoBt ID. This value corresponds to sys.partitions.hobt_id. The HoBt ID is not always available for PAGE resources because the HoBt ID is extra information that can be provided by the caller, and not all callers can provide this information.
KEY Represents a row in an index. HoBt ID. This value corresponds to sys.partitions.hobt_id.
EXTENT Represents a data file extent. An extent is a group of eight contiguous pages. Not applicable
RID Represents a physical row in a heap. HoBt ID. This value corresponds to sys.partitions.hobt_id. The HoBt ID is not always available for RID resources because the HoBt ID is extra information that can be provided by the caller, and not all callers can provide this information.
APPLICATION Represents an application specified resource. Not applicable
METADATA Represents metadata information. Not applicable
HOBT Represents a heap or a B-tree. These are the basic access path structures. HoBt ID. This value corresponds to sys.partitions.hobt_id.
OIB Represents online index (re)build. HoBt ID. This value corresponds to sys.partitions.hobt_id.
ALLOCATION_UNIT Represents a set of related pages, such as an index partition. Each allocation unit covers a single Index Allocation Map (IAM) chain. Allocation Unit ID. This value corresponds to sys.allocation_units.allocation_unit_id.
ROW_GROUP Represents a columnstore row group.
XACT Represents a transaction. Occurs when optimized locking is enabled. There are two scenarios:

Scenario 1 (Owner)
- Resource type: XACT.
- Resource description: When a TID lock is held, the resource_description is the XACT resource.
- Resource associated entity ID: resource_associated_entity_id is 0.

Scenario 2 (Waiter)
- Resource type: XACT.
- Resource description: When a request waits for a TID lock, the resource_description is the XACT resource followed by the underlying KEY or RID resource.
- Resource associated entity ID: resource_associated_entity_id is the underlying HoBt ID.

Note

Documentation uses the term B-tree generally in reference to indexes. In rowstore indexes, the Database Engine implements a B+ tree. This does not apply to columnstore indexes or indexes on memory-optimized tables. For more information, see the SQL Server and Azure SQL index architecture and design guide.

Examples

A. Use sys.dm_tran_locks with other tools

The following example works with a scenario in which an update operation is blocked by another transaction. By using sys.dm_tran_locks and other tools, information about locking resources is provided.

USE tempdb;
GO

-- Create test table and index.
CREATE TABLE t_lock
    (
    c1 int, c2 int
    );
GO

CREATE INDEX t_lock_ci on t_lock(c1);
GO

-- Insert values into test table
INSERT INTO t_lock VALUES (1, 1);
INSERT INTO t_lock VALUES (2, 2);
INSERT INTO t_lock VALUES (3, 3);
INSERT INTO t_lock VALUES (4, 4);
INSERT INTO t_lock VALUES (5, 5);
INSERT INTO t_lock VALUES (6, 6);
GO

-- Session 1
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED;

BEGIN TRAN
    SELECT c1
        FROM t_lock
        WITH(holdlock, rowlock);

-- Session 2
BEGIN TRAN
    UPDATE t_lock SET c1 = 10;

The following query displays lock information. The value for <dbid> should be replaced with the database_id from sys.databases.

SELECT resource_type, resource_associated_entity_id,
    request_status, request_mode,request_session_id,
    resource_description
    FROM sys.dm_tran_locks
    WHERE resource_database_id = <dbid>;

The following query returns object information by using resource_associated_entity_id from the previous query. This query must be executed while you are connected to the database that contains the object.

SELECT object_name(object_id), *
    FROM sys.partitions
    WHERE hobt_id=<resource_associated_entity_id> ;

The following query shows blocking information.

SELECT
    t1.resource_type,
    t1.resource_database_id,
    t1.resource_associated_entity_id,
    t1.request_mode,
    t1.request_session_id,
    t2.blocking_session_id
FROM sys.dm_tran_locks as t1
INNER JOIN sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks as t2
    ON t1.lock_owner_address = t2.resource_address;

Release the resources by rolling back the transactions.

-- Session 1
ROLLBACK;
GO

-- Session 2
ROLLBACK;
GO

The following example returns information that associates a session_id with a Windows thread ID. The performance of the thread can be monitored in the Windows Performance Monitor. This query does not return a session_id that is currently sleeping.

SELECT STasks.session_id, SThreads.os_thread_id
FROM sys.dm_os_tasks AS STasks
INNER JOIN sys.dm_os_threads AS SThreads
    ON STasks.worker_address = SThreads.worker_address
WHERE STasks.session_id IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY STasks.session_id;
GO
