$ 0 0 I starting getting random LCK_M_SCH_M locks with huge wait time, which hung my etl proccess. The ssis package runs like this: I have 4 containers that run in parallel and do the same thing:-Convert a tab delimited file from unicode->utf8-Truncate the table (within a foreach loop)-Bulk insert the data Also transactionoption is set to NotSupported. What could be causing the lock? All foreach loops do not overlap ragarding tables/files. Do they contest somehow? Elias
