Re: Using sp_getapplock outside a transaction

Show all headers | View raw

Thank  you  for the replies, Erland and rja.  I have
found what I think is an ambiguity in the documenta-
tion:

  Locks  placed  on  a  resource are associated with
  either the current transaction or the current ses-
  sion.

where  the notion of "current transaction" is rather
unintuitive, for it refers not to the scope  of  the
immediate  enfolding  BEGIN  TRAN  block, but to the
outermost one.  The following code:

DECLARE @lockRes INT

BEGIN TRAN -- outer transaction
   BEGIN TRAN -- inner transaction
      PRINT 'Acquiring lock in the inner transaction...'
      EXEC @lockRes = sp_getapplock 'test', 'Exclusive'
      IF @lockRes < 0 PRINT 'Failure.' ELSE PRINT 'Success.'
   COMMIT TRAN
   PRINT 'Releasing the lock in the outer transaction...'
   EXEC @lockRes = sp_releaseapplock 'test'
   IF @lockRes < 0 PRINT 'Failure.' ELSE PRINT 'Success.'
COMMIT TRAN

outputs:

Acquiring lock in the inner transaction...
Success.
Releasing the lock in the outer transaction...
Success.

which means that the life of a transaction lock ter-
minates with that of the *outermost* transaction.
