If the current state of your data really doesn't matter, you can try to use a locking hint in your query, like<br />
<br />
SELECT * FROM &nbsp;table<br />
WITH (NOLOCK)<br />
WHERE ... <br />
<br />

Hi There<br />
<br />
I have a application written in c# that imports data into a database every couple of seconds.<br />
I also have a website that talks to the same database.<br />
<br />
My problem is that when the application inserts or updates data it locks the table that it is updating.<br />
This Causes &nbsp;request from the website to fail when searching for data in those tables.<br />
<br />
The request from the website should take preferrence over everything.<br />
<br />
So is there a way of configuring SQL to set priority to a particular transaction or to help solve this problem.<br />
Or is there a way either in code or by configuring SQL so that the application only locks the record <br />
that it is using and not the whole table.<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

C# Application locking tables

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
