Which table hint should you use?

‘a’ – holdlock is wrong because it lock whole table until operation is done {transaction is commited};
‘b’ – rowlock – you use it to update/delete some rows {not many}, for only insert & select its useless and it has bad performance;
‘c’ – xlock – as far as I know its exclusive lock – also locks everyting;
‘d’ – updlock – you use it to insert new, update or delete statements;
‘e’ – correct {for me 99%}. You should use ‘tablock’ hint to improve performance while insert/select statements. It is share lock.
