A SELECT and an UPDATE walk into a bar.
Neither leaves. The bartender picks a victim. The bar files an incident.
Next week in Seattle I make this stop happening to you.

#PASSDataSummit Loved having Power Hour as the community kickoff event! Zero schedule conflicts (Though let's be honest, Power Hour was always a non-negotiable). As always it was amazing. Was so busy enjoying, that just got these 2 pictures ! 😬✨

Bartender says why the long runtime.

If a SELECT blocks an UPDATE and nobody is watching the monitoring, did it happen?
Yes. It always happened. It has been happening since 2005.

Ten, I said.
It was two million.
He stayed calm. SQL Server also stays calm about this. That is the whole problem.

I had a briefing for the 2026 PASS Data Community Summit, which is just a couple of weeks away. Amongst a bunch of admin type stuff, there was a slide with a picture of the Redgate Software prize at our booth. It’s a Lego Concorde model. That is very cool. If you’re attending the Summit, swing by and enter for your chance to win.
