RE: Lock

I think the only way to not acquire a row level lock, is to use one of the fabled "Undocumented Parameters" (if this is what you mean of course). I do have to say that using this kind of parameter without the backing of OWS, is not advisable, and therefore, will refrain from telling you which one it is :)

If you mean table locking, then the simple select you have shown below also will hold no locks, as this is simply a select statement.

List correct me if I'm wrong..
