FIX: Lock Timeout on Scrollable Cursor May Occur if Page Locking is Disabled (323248)

SYMPTOMS

If you use the sp_indexoption stored procedure to disable page locks for an index, you may unexpectedly experience the following lock timeout error message when an application fetches data from a server-side scrollable cursor:

Server: Msg 1222, Level 16, State 52, Line 8 Lock request time out period exceeded.

This error message is returned immediately. If you issue

SELECT @@LOCK_TIMEOUT

on this connection, the result is a -1, which indicates that no lock timeout threshold has been defined. The error message only occurs if the table is being modified simultaneously by a different connection.
