Database · list maintenance

Lead list work stalls on a database lock

List processing stalls and the owner observes a lock or queue backlog.

Detailed solution

  1. Step 1Use one approved test, or a read-only aggregate report. Record the exact time and affected scope before changing anything.
  2. Step 2Pause competing list-maintenance jobs through the approved process, then have the database owner capture a read-only lock snapshot and identify the blocking transaction.
  3. Step 3Compare the before-and-after result using the same filters and time window; retain the evidence and rollback if the result changes unexpectedly.

Do not do this

Do not kill database sessions or run mass DELETE/UPDATE statements to clear a lock.
