Is WITH (READPAST) affected by readlocks – MSDN TSQL forum


–> Question:

If a transaction calls a SELECT using the table hint WITH(READPAST)… will it skip rows that are locked by other SELECT statements that are in READ COMMITTED mode and are issuing shared locks?

ie. Does READPAST skip rows that are locked by SELECT statements, not just UPDATE and INSERT statements?
 

–> Answer:

I don’t think READPAST will skip rows locked by SELECT statement, but only in UPDATE & DELETEs.
