I must admit I often cringe when I hear the word scalability, as people often talk about that from the point of view of gross volume of data in the database. Number of transactions, volume of data in those transactions rarely get a look in, and concurrency issues between active transactions seems to sit at the bottom. Thanks for a clear description of a real scalability issue.

This would be a fun one to put through the paces in DB Optimizer’s load editor which is good for easily creating multiple concurrent connections running cod in loops. Been meaning to demo code in DB Optimizer that runs well and fast with one user, like for the developer, but hits the wall in production.
Nice example as always.
