This may not be the right place to post this (man, CF-TALK has changed a lot in the last 5 or so years ;)).
I have a simple SQL query that is showing up as running slow. When I run it via the Management Studio it is sometimes fast 0.1 seconds and sometimes, seemingly randomly slow 1.5 minutes!). Other queries on other tables are executing normally. This table only has 50k records and even a simple query is sometimes really slow. The query that runs slow is as simple as select commitDate,id from databaseChangeLog where usr_id = 62622 and form_id = 312468 and commitDate > '2013-12-04 11:00:05.0' But is just as slow without the date part. The table has a clustered index on the primary key (id) and a non-clustered index on usr_id,form_id and commitDate. The index doesn't seem to make any difference. My guess is the table is locked. My question is: How can I determine if it is locked? What would be locking it. I checked all my code and there are no CFTRANSACTIONS or ISOLATED READS or anything like that. There are some inserts and the table has 2 TEXT columns which are being updated at times with fairly large values. But the only queries reported as slow are these simple SELECTS. The query execution plan uses the non-clustered index on (usr_id,form_id and commitDate). I'm just at a loss as to why this specific query is sometimes so slow.. where to look?
