It also covers large list scalability and maintenance, noting that lists with over 5,000 rows locked at once can cause performance issues. The document provides demo instructions and resource links on maintaining SharePoint databases, designing large lists, and using Business Connectivity Services and external data. It also briefly summarizes Remote Blob Storage support in SharePoint 2010.

When this lock escalation occurs, it prevents other users from accessing the table.”
