How to Stop Blocking in SQL Server

There are a few ways to stop blocking in SQL Server:

1. Optimize your queries: Long-running queries are a common cause of blocking. By optimizing your queries, you can reduce the amount of time they take to execute and decrease the chances of blocking. This can include things like creating indexes, rewriting the query, and reducing the amount of data that is returned.
2. Reducing the size of the transaction around a blocking area. Many smaller transactions block less than one large one.
3. Monitor blocking: By monitoring blocking, you can identify potential blocking issues and take steps to resolve them before they cause significant problems. Our Email Alerting for Blocking in SQL Server Course is ON SALE this month only!

It’s important to note that these methods should be considered on a case-by-case basis and depend on the specific needs of your application. It’s always a good idea to test the changes in a test environment before implementing in production.
