sql server connect: I would guess that the sp_help query was run from QA within an open
transaction and this could block access to system tables by other user
connections. Brian's suggestions should help determine if this is the case.

It's not necessarily a big deal that QA and EM are blocking. The bigger
question is QA holding locks so long that it could cause a timeout.

Have you used sp_lock and sp_who to analyze what actually is locked and who
is doing the blocking?

Hi,

My colleque execute sp_help in query analyzer on his machine and when I use
Enterprise Manager on my machine and go to Management | Current Activity
then I get a "Error 1222: Lock request time out period exceeded".

Why am I block when he is just executing sp_help on a table?

Thank you in advance.

I did use sp_lock and sp_who and I figure it out that it is one of my
collegue who use sp_help 'tablename' only. I mean this is the only command
he runs under QA after that when I use EM the problem occur. We can even
duplicate the problem anytime.
