Question 410

A database engineer at Seabrook University is investigating this case: A high-volume transaction system suffers read blocking under concurrent writes. The relevant finding is: Readers wait for exclusive locks during updates. What operational condition would provide the earliest useful regression warning?

  1. Monitor Query Store regressed queries
  2. Monitor version-store usage and long transactions
  3. Monitor tempdb waits and memory grants
  4. Monitor row versioning and tempdb or persistent version-store pressure

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Readers wait for exclusive locks during updates. Monitor row versioning and tempdb or persistent version-store pressure.

Incorrect Answers

A:

“Monitor Query Store regressed queries” concerns Query Store captures a new high-cost plan; the reported problem instead is Readers wait for exclusive locks during updates. Monitor row versioning and tempdb or persistent version-store pressure.

B:

“Monitor version-store usage and long transactions” concerns Concurrent updates produce inconsistent intermediate totals; the reported problem instead is Readers wait for exclusive locks during updates. Monitor row versioning and tempdb or persistent version-store pressure.

C:

“Monitor tempdb waits and memory grants” concerns Actual plan warns of spill and high memory grant; the reported problem instead is Readers wait for exclusive locks during updates. Monitor row versioning and tempdb or persistent version-store pressure.

Question 411
