Hi
Stumbled across sp_getschemalock when setting up a solution to use linked server and synonyms. Ran a profiler trace of what was actually transmitted over the wire to the linked server. As we're in a POC phase whith the linked server strategy I was wondering if anyone has input on the significance of the SQL Servers use of sp_getschemalock. What does it do? No help from Books Online or google.
I mean, a schema lock?! And there is one sp_getschemalock call for every table I touch on the linked server! Sounds heavy as the linked server is a sentral point to the whole customer operation. Am I moving into really murky waters here with lots of centrally placed locks that bog down the central server? How does it play performance wise? Better safe than sorry you know :-| Or am I worrying too much, ..., again?
