What is blocking in SQL Server? If this situation occurs how to troubleshoot this issue..

Answer / wazid ali

Blocking in SQL Server is a scenario where one connection to
SQL Server locks one or more records, and a second
connection to SQL Server requires a conflicting lock type on
the record or records locked by the first connection. This
causes the second connection to wait until the first
connection releases its locks. By default, a connection will
wait an unlimited amount of time for the blocking lock to go
away.
