SQL Server Management Studio Standard Reports – Resource Locking Statistics by Logins

I'm continuing my series on the Standard Reports in SQL Server Management Studio, and today we’re in the Security reports. You can find these reports by starting SQL Server Management Studio and right-clicking the Logins node underneath the Security node. From the menu that appears, click the Standard Reports, and then select the title at the top of this post. This report shows information about locks taken by logons, and it’s similar to many of the locking reports that I’ve covered in other blogs.

The first section of the report is a graph showing the waiting transactions versus the locks on objects. You can use this graph as a “red flag” to check the locking activity.

The second section of this report shows Locking statistics per each logon. It’s the detail to the graph above:

Column	Description
Login No.	A unique number used to track each Login
Login Name	The Login name for the principal generating the locks
# Locks (Granted)	The number of locks this Login is taking
