You should use NOLOCK only when it is unimportant whether the results are correct or not.<br />
<br />
Cause NOLOCK can lead to return not (longer) existing data or to not return existing data. And there is no way for you to be sure..

Is adviciable to use nolock function in select query? <br />
it depends.<br />
<br />
WITH(NOLOCK)<br />
It is equal to using READ UNCOMMITED as a transaction isolation level. So, you stand the risk of reading an uncommitted row that is subsequently rolled back, i.e. data that never made it into the database. So, while it can prevent reads being deadlocked by other operations, it comes with a risk. Basically you can get dirty reads. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/686724/when-should-you-use-with-nolock" rel="ugc">REF</a> WITH(NOLOCK) - Does not improve performance. WITH(NOLOCK) is NOT by default.<br />

With lock is by default and you do not have to specify anything for this.

<div>
to avoid deadlock we can use otherwise it should not use is it correct jj

Note to self: &nbsp;Make one of those 'Worlds's Most Interesting Man' memes where the top says something like 'I don't always SELECT large sets in production databases', and the bottom says 'But when I do I use WITH(NOLOCK) and SET TRANSACTION LEVEL LOW'.
</div>


<div>
Na, I only use NOLOCK to make queries faster.. ya 'now, no locking and that overhead transaction isolation voodoo.. :)<br />
<br />
You won't believe how often I've seen NOLOCK used as &quot;improved query performance&quot;..

Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.

Microsoft SQL Server

SQL (Structured Query Language) is designed to be used in conjunction with relational database products as of a means of working with sets of data.
