Jun 1, 2025

June 2025: Delivered a hands-on SQL locking demonstration resource for Baeldung/sql-tutorials to improve understanding of concurrency and transaction behavior in SQL Server. The new SQL script demonstrates types of locks (Shared, Exclusive, Update, SIX), shows how locks are acquired, and illustrates their effects on concurrent transactions. It includes queries to inspect lock status and blocking sessions, supporting quick testing and troubleshooting. This work is anchored by commit SQL-472: Types of Locks in SQL Server (045b89c82f0f5b0cfc3c8479c1bf15234b8f415b).
