The solution is to use the NOLOCK hint.

The NOLOCK hint allows SQL Server to read data from tables by ignoring any locks and therefore not being blocked by other processes that may have locks on the table or table rows.

The NOLOCK hint is useful when you need to read data quickly and you are not concerned about the dirty reads.

SELECT * FROM mytable WITH (NOLOCK);
