Expert SQL Server Transactions and Locking Concurrency Internals for SQL Server Practitioners

SQL Server's Concurrency Model is one of the least understood parts of the SQL Server Database Engine. Almost every SQL Server system experiences hard-to-explain concurrency and blocking issues, and it can be extremely confusing to solve those issues without a base of knowledge in the internals of the Engine. While confusing from the outside, the SQL Server Concurrency Model is based on several well-defined principles that are covered in this book.
Understanding the internals surrounding SQL Server's Concurrency Model helps you build high-throughput systems in multi-user environments. This book guides you through the Concurrency Model and elaborates how SQL Server supports transactional consistency in the databases. The book covers all versions of SQL Server, including Microsoft Azure SQL Database, and it includes coverage of new technologies such as In-Memory OLTP and Columnstore Indexes.
What You'll LearnKnow how transaction isolation levels affect locking behavior and concurrencyTroubleshoot and address blocking issues and deadlocksProvide required data consistency while minimizing concurrency issuesDesign efficient transaction strategies that lead to scalable codeReduce concurrency problems through good schema designUnderstand concurrency models for In-Memory OLTP and Columnstore IndexesReduce blocking during index maintenance, batch data load, and similar tasks
