PredicateLockManager
Short Description
Waiting to access predicate lock information used by serializable transactions.
Additional Information
The Predicate Lock Manager is waiting to access lock information used by serializable transactions. Predicate locks are used to monitor dependencies between transactions when the Serializable Isolation level is selected and are generally higher level than just a row lock.
How to reduce this wait
Use Serializable Isolation level where appropriate and ‘catch’ the SQLSTATE of ‘40001’ to ensure that transaction failures can be rerun.
