|**Optimized locking GA**| Optimized locking is a new Database Engine capability that offers an improved locking mechanism that reduces lock memory consumption and blocking amongst concurrent transactions. This fundamentally improves concurrency and lowers lock memory. Currently, optimized locking is available only in select regions. This feature is generally available.

<sup>2</sup> Besides local SSD IO, workloads will use remote [page server](hyperscale-architecture.md#page-server) IO. Effective IOPS will depend on workload. For details, see [Data IO Governance](resource-limits-logical-server.md#resource-governance), and [Data IO in resource utilization statistics](hyperscale-performance-diagnostics.md#data-io-in-resource-utilization-statistics).

>For SQL Server logins that have CHECK_POLICY enabled, if you run [ALTER LOGIN](../../t-sql/statements/alter-login-transact-sql.md) and do not include OLD_PASSWORD in the command to change the password, then [Enforce Password History](/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/enforce-password-history) is ignored. This is a by-design behavior to allow password resets, despite any previously used passwords. Other checks associated with CHECK_POLICY, including length and complexity are checked regardless of whether OLD_PASSWORD is used.
