Question 450
A developer wants to know which active sessions are currently blocking a transaction. Which verification finding is most specific to this scenario?
Explanation
Correct Answer
DMVs expose current session/wait state; Query Store primarily provides historical query performance. The observation “The blocker and blocked session chain are identified with actionable wait evidence” directly confirms the chosen action worked for this situation: A developer wants to know which active sessions are currently blocking a transaction.
Incorrect Answers
READ UNCOMMITTED or NOLOCK may read uncommitted changes; row versioning can improve concurrency without dirty reads. This observation would not establish that the required result occurred for A developer wants to know which active sessions are currently blocking a transaction. The confirming test is: The blocker and blocked session chain are identified with actionable wait evidence.
Page-level hot spots can constrain concurrency beyond disk capacity; fixes require evidence of actual latch waits. This observation would not establish that the required result occurred for A developer wants to know which active sessions are currently blocking a transaction. The confirming test is: The blocker and blocked session chain are identified with actionable wait evidence.
CDC records change data for replay, unlike simple change tracking versions. This observation would not establish that the required result occurred for A developer wants to know which active sessions are currently blocking a transaction. The confirming test is: The blocker and blocked session chain are identified with actionable wait evidence.
