I happen to be using SQL Server 2019 CU16 but the details I’ll describe haven’t materially changed since partition level lock escalation was added to SQL Server 2008. System locks also count, but these are rarely held for long and aren’t associated with the user transaction. Let’s look at some examples using a fresh database.
