title: Are data rows locked when editing them in SQL Server Management Studio 2008?
body: <p>When I right-click on a table in SQL Server Management Studio and choose 'Edit top 200 rows', at what point, if ever, would the data that I'm looking at be locked?</p>
  
  <p>A colleague of mine stated that when viewing data in this way, the data rows can be locked (I think when he said if you put a cursor on a row and start editing data).</p>
  
  <p>Is this the only time the data can be locked in this context?</p>
