Henry writes "How do I totally remove an orphaned session that has an unknown blocking spid? When I try to kill an orphan session I see a the status as Killed/Rollback. But the Block By column shows only a period mark, thereby not showing an actual spid number. Tables and stored proceudres, used in the troubleshooting so far are: syslockinfo, sysprocesses, sp_who2,sp_lock on SQL 2000 service pack 1. I used the kill command to delete remove the orphan session. Don't want to restart service, because from past experience restart did not resolve the issue."
