I am working in a database where I load data in a raw table by a data loader. But today the data loader got stuck for unknown reasons. Then I stopped the data loader from windows task manager. But then I again tried to load data in the raw table but found its locked and I can’t do any operation on it. I tried restarting SQL Server service but it was not resolved. And I have no permission to kill processes on this server.

In the SQL Server Management Studio,
to find out details of the active transaction, execute following command
DBCC opentran()
You will get the detail of the active transaction, then from the SPID of the active transaction, get the detail about the SPID using following commands
exec sp_who2 <SPID>
exec sp_lock <SPID>
For example, if SPID is 69 then execute the command as
exec sp_who2 69
exec sp_lock 69
Now , you can kill that process using the following command
KILL 69

It’s been a while, but last time I had something similar:
ROLLBACK TRAN
or trying to
COMMIT
what had allready been done free’d everything up so I was able to clear things out and start again.

To prevent this, make sure every BEGIN TRANSACTION has COMMIT
The following will say successful but will leave uncommitted transactions:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
BEGIN TRANSACTION
<SQL_CODE?
COMMIT
Closing query windows with uncommitted transactions will prompt you to commit your transactions. This will generally resolve the Error 1222 message.

I had these SQL behavior settings enabled on options query execution: ANSI SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS checked. On execution of your query e.g create, alter table or stored procedure, you have to COMMIT it.
Just type COMMIT and execute it F5

In my case, I was trying to disable a trigger on a table when I received error 1222 «Lock request time out period exceeded.»
I followed suggestions in this answer:
- Open two query windows in SSMS.
- In the first, type/paste the command that is timing out (due to a lock). In the lower right hand corner of SSMS, you should see the username and (in parentheses) the SPID of the connection you’re using. Note the SPID of this query window connection. Don’t execute this query just yet.
- In the second query window, type/paste
SELECT * FROM sysprocesses WHERE spid = <SPID you noted in step 2> - Execute the first query that is timing out, and while it is executing (but before it times out) switch over to the second query window and execute it (the
SELECT * from sysprocesses...one) - You should get some results in the results pane. Look at the ‘blocked’ field in the results. In my case, it contained the SPID of the process that was locking the table.
- Research the locking process further by executing
SELECT * FROM sysprocesses WHERE spid = <SPID from the ‘blocked’ field in step 5>. - If the locking process can be safely terminated, kill it with
kill <locking SPID>

Question
-
We’re running a SQL-Server 2012 and for a while now my accessing records from bigger tables became tricky.
There is a Tomcat-8 running which sometimes can’t access these tables at all or only after a long delay. As this happened first I went to the Server-Room and opened the Database with the Management Studio to see if there were any issues. Strangely I could
open the Database but expanding the directories for «Tables» or «Views» failed after 10 Seconds with the Error 1222.I turned the Tomcat-8 off to find out whether some unclosed connections are open. Same result, no changes even after one hour.
Another 3rd-Party program which we are using seems to connect via other mechanisms to the SQL-Server (Is there a way to list current connections and their types in the Management-Studio, please let me know so I’m able to provide this information too) But
I’m under the impression this program does a lot of caching, it’s much faster than the Management-Studio itself.The question is now how can I find out why these time-outs happen? I’m not an expert in SQL-Servers so please let me know how I can provide missing information.
Thank you

I don’t think there is a way to configure that lock timeout of 10 seconds. By default, there is no lock timeout in SQL Server, but it is possible that Object Explorer in SSMS sets one up, so it will remain unresponsive forever if there is blocking.
The information given is quite vague, and I am not at all acquainted with Tomcat-8. I have a procedure on my web site which is good for analysing blocking situations and the ongoing activity in the server. You may find it useful:

Stuck with an error 1222 microsoft sql server? Bobcares is at your service!
The error 1222 is a common error when you are working in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. It often pops up when you are attempting to view tables, procedures, or tables in object explorer. Find out how our Support engineers helped out a customer with their SQL server 1222 error recently.
What is MS SQL server error 1222?
The error is a result of a longer query wait time than lock timeout settings. The lock timeout indicates the time spent waiting for a backend resource to be available.
Fortunately, the Support Engineers at Bobcares have a quick fix for this.
Tips to resolve the pesky error 1222 Microsoft SQL server
Now that you have got an idea about why error 1222 pops up. Let’s dive into resolving the issue once and for all.
- Our engineers use sp_who2 to check the currently established sessions in the database as well as any sessions with high CPU usage, blocking, high I/O usage, or sessions with multiple entries for identical SPID. This may be the cause behind lock time-outs.
- You can change the lock time-out period by running the following command:
SET LOCK_TIMEOUT timeout_period
The timeout_period indicates the number of milliseconds allowed to pass before a locking error is returned by Microsoft SQL Server. Its default value is -1, which specifies no time-out period. Changing the lock time-out period will prevent error 1222 from occurring frequently.

Question

Hi All,
Lock request time out period exceeded, error 1222" will appear when I try to expand the tables list in database in SQL Server Management Studio 2012 (Enterprises).
I am creating partition on my table which is having more than 200 million records. Initially I thought this is happening due to ONLINE=OFF option is set for cluster index which will partition the existing table. But this is not true. I tried with ONLINE=ON & still I can see same problem.
Below is the index which I am running to Partition my table:
USE [MY_DB]
GO
BEGIN TRANSACTIONCREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [TRANS_PS_635112970545378233] ON [dbo].[Table]
(
[Date]
)WITH (SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF) ON [MY_PS]([Date])DROP INDEX [TRANS_PS_635112970545378233] ON [dbo].[Table]
COMMIT TRANSACTION
After running this query which is taking around 9-10 hours I am getting error: "Lock request time out period exceeded. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1222)" when I try to expand the tables list in database in SQL Server Management Studio 2012 (Enterprises)
My DBA suggested that need to snapshot_isolation_state =1 in sys.databases( SELECT * FROM sys.databases) at DB level. I am not sure so looking for opinion.

This is normal and expected behavior in SSMS.
You are creating an index, locking the table. SSMS is unable to get the data about the tables,columns, indexes. This is how it works. You need to wait for the indexing to complete.

Действие пользователя
Для решения проблемы попробуйте выполнить следующие задачи.
Если это возможно, найдите на требуемом ресурсе транзакцию, удерживающую эту блокировку. Используйте динамические административные представления sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks и sys.dm_tran_locks.
Если транзакция все еще удерживает блокировку, завершите эту транзакцию, если это адекватно.
Выполните запрос еще раз.
Если данная ошибка возникает часто, измените время ожидания блокировки или вызывающие ошибку транзакции так, чтобы они удерживали блокировку на меньший период времени.

Question: I’m on SSMS and trying to access the SQL Server instance but I’m getting this error:
Lock request timeout period exceedd Error 1222
Normally I can access the server and there haven’t been any security changes. What could be causing this problem?
Answer: The basis of the Error 1222 is that a transactions is holding a lock on the target resource for a longer period than the query could wait for.
There are different situations that can trigger the error message.
Example 1 : Someone running a transaction with a BEGIN TRAN but no ROLLBACK or COMMIT. The transaction could be locking the system tables.
The quickest way to sort out the issue is to identify the active transaction details.
In the SQL Server Management Studio, to find out details of the active transaction, execute following command
DBCC opentran()
for more details read:
SQL Server — SQL open transactions and how to find
SQL Server — How to find Open Transactions
If you think you’re creating the issue through a transaction executed through the SSMS, you could shut the SSMS. Slightly drastic , but it will normally solve your problem
Author: Tom Collins (http://www.sqlserver-dba.com)
Share:
As the error says error 1222 lock request time out period exceeded, it occurs when a query waits longer than the lock timeout setting. The lock timeout setting is the time in millisecond a query waits on a blocked resource and it returns error when the wait time exceeds the lock time out setting. The default value of LOCK TIMEOUT is -1.
Let’s now replicate the issue. The below query begins a transaction and executes and update command on Person.Person table however, it doesn’t completes the transaction; the transaction is in open state.
BEGIN TRAN GO UPDATE Person.Person SET Suffix='Mr' WHERE BusinessEntityID between 10 and 100
Open a second query window and run below query. The query executes a select statement on Person.Person table with LOCK TIMEOUT setting of 10 millisecond.
SET lock_timeout 10 GO select * from Person.Person where BusinessEntityID between 10 and 100

The query fails with Lock request time out period exceeded error. The select query waits on update query for 10 ms and then terminates as the lock on Person.Person table is not released.
The short term or quick resolution for this issue is to commit/rollback open transaction and then fix the issue with the blocking/long running query.
