PRB: Error 7129 If Concurrent Processes Update Same Text Page

Last reviewed: April 25, 1997
Article ID: Q66872

The information in this article applies to:

  - Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2 for OS/2
  - Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2

SYMPTOMS

When executing concurrent processes that are performing text type operations on the same table, one of the processes sometimes aborts with the following error message:

   Msg 7129, Level 16, State 2:
   Synchronization time stamp does not agree with text data page
   values.

CAUSE

   This is expected behavior if the two processes are trying to update
   the same text page at the same time. Both processes select for a
   text pointer, one of the processes locks the text data page first
   and updates it. When the other process tries to update the text
   page, the timestamp is different and the second process is not
   allowed to update the text page. The process is then aborted with
   the error message listed above.
