		<description><![CDATA[While there is no doubt of the benefits of adding indexes to your tables, and for the most part you have to do little work to keep the indexes maintained, some maintenance is required as indexes can become fragmented during data modifications. This fragmentation can become a source of performance issues with your queries. So [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you advance in your skills as a Transact-SQL developer, or SQL Server database administrator, there will come a time when you need to override SQL Server&#8217;s locking scheme and force a particular range of locks on a table.
