Do writes in SNAPSHOT isolation level block writes in another SNAPSHOT transaction in SQL Server 2008 R2?

No. They will not block. Instead, the UPDATE command in trans2 will fail with error number 3960.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
