FIX: LockMgr Message on Open of Static Cursor

ID: Q149763

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0

BUG#: 13954 (6.00)

SYMPTOMS

Db-library cursor library or ODBC applications may cause the following message to be logged in the SQL Server error log when they open a static cursor:

spid10 LockMgr: Zero Lock Esc Threshold (TABID=-3351,DBID=2). Default used.

WORKAROUND

Use another cursor type other than static for these queries. Recode the select to see if a query can be found that does not generate the message.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0. This problem has been corrected in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.

MORE INFORMATION

The message is only generated on static cursors, not dynamic, keyset, or forward_only cursors. The message also only occurs for some selects, if the cursor is opened on a similar select on the same table, or another table, the message does not occur. The only effect is in sites opening many static cursors that generate the message; in these sites, the space taken up by the messages can be significant.
