FIX: DUMPs May Halt Queries That Have Triggers

ID: Q135869

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server, version 6.0

BUG# NT: 11085 (6.00)

SYMPTOMS

When you dump the transaction log or the database while users are running queries which fire triggers that reference the INSERTED and DELETED tables, this may cause the users' queries to be blocked for the duration of the DUMP TRAN or DUMP DATABASE command.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0. This problem was corrected in Service Pack 1 for SQL Server version 6.0. For more information, contact your primary support provider.

MORE INFORMATION

The INSERTED and DELETED tables inside a trigger are virtual tables created from their log entries. During a DUMP TRANSACTION or a DUMP DATABASE command, triggers that use these tables may be blocked until the DUMP TRANSACTION or DUMP DATABASE command is completed.
