Hello! I recently started at a new company, and they are having a few issues with locking and blocking on their Production database. At my previous company I knew the database like the back of my hand, so I knew what normal locking processes looked like for that database. I tried researching this, but couldn't come up with an answer (and I know it's very subjective!) - approximately how long is "normal" locking and blocking? A few seconds? A minute?The SQL Monitor alert thresholds for Blocked Processes are currently set at:Low: 20 secondsMedium: 40 secondsHigh: 1 minuteThe high alert is triggered at least a dozen, sometimes two dozen times a day. We recently had an entire module in the application become unresponsive because of continuously blocked processes that would not resolve. Required a service restart.I've identified one major table involved in most of the blocked processes. I suspect readjusting the indexes may help alleviate the problem a bit.Any insight/experience you can provide is appreciated!
