Do not lock tables option

sql2k sp3
From what I know the only problem with checking the "Do not lock tables
duing snapshot..." would be that the snapshot would take longer. Are there
any other downfalls?
Chris,
theoretically there would be potential of timeouts occurring due to
blocking, and even the posibility of deadlocks. Some time ago there was a
poster who was having exactly these issues with this option - these
posibilities are the price you pay for allowing greater concurrency. I
imagine most people (like myself) run snapshots out of hours so this option
isn't required.
