SQL Server - Find SQL Server Locks: Sys - DM - Tran - Locks Sys - DM - Os - Waiting - Tasks

This SQL query utilizes several SQL Server dynamic management views (DMVs) to report on current lock manager resources, including any blocking sessions. It joins the sys.dm_tran_locks DMV, which reports active lock manager resources, with sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks to retrieve information about tasks waiting on a resource. Additional joins are made to sys.objects, sys.partitions, and sys.allocation_units to provide more useful context about the locked objects.

SQL Server Find sql server Locks

Ive been troubleshooting some Locks problems recently, where a transaction is taking Exclusive Locks
for a long period, causing severe blocking for other user queries and causing application timeouts
Ive been using this query to report on the current Lock manager resources. The query utilises a number
of DMVs to supply extra information, such as blocking session and object names.
The Sys.dm_tran_locks DMV reports on the active lock manager resources. This joins via the
lock_owner_address to the sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks , which returns tasks waiting on a resource.
There are also three other joins 1) sys.objects 2) sys.partitions 3) sys.allocation_units , to supply extra
useful information
[ SELECT
DB_NAME(tl.resource_database_id) as 'DB Name',
tl.resource_type,
tl.resource_associated_entity_id,
tl.request_mode,
tl.request_session_id,
wt.blocking_session_id,
obj.name as 'Object Name',
obj.type_desc as 'Object Desc',
pa.partition_id as 'Partition ID',
tl.request_status,
pa.rows as 'Partition rows numbers',
al.type_desc as 'Index Desc',
al.container_id as 'Storage container_id'
FROM sys.dm_tran_locks as tl
INNER JOIN sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks as wt
ON tl.lock_owner_address = wt.resource_address
LEFT JOIN sys.objects obj on obj.object_id = tl.resource_associated_entity_id

LEFT JOIN sys.partitions pa on pa.hobt_id = tl.resource_associated_entity_id


LEFT JOIN sys.allocation_units al on al.allocation_unit_id = tl.resource_associated_entity_id ]
