I am also getting the same error. Somehow, I cann’t figure out, it seems to be value gets updated between the Select and ReadText and throwing the same error.

I have two question:-

How the performance will be impacting if i will go for Select statement instead of ReadText. Anyway I have to read the whole column.

Is there any way to put the row lock for Select and ReadText

I really appreciate if i get some feedback on this.

Thanks
