Customizing Locking

  • Article

Although Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 (SQL Server Compact 3.5) implements locking automatically, it is possible to customize locking in applications by:

  • Handling deadlocks.
  • Setting the lock time-out duration.
  • Setting the transaction isolation level.
  • Using table-level locking hints with the SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements.
