In SQL Server, a tab lock is a type of locking mechanism that applies to an entire table during certain operations, such as INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE. It prevents other transactions from modifying or accessing the table until the lock is released, ensuring data integrity during these operations.

This locking strategy helps manage concurrency and prevent issues like dirty reads and lost updates.

The 74LS75 is called a latch because it is a type of bistable multivibrator that can hold or "latch" a binary state (either 0 or 1) until it is changed by an input signal. It operates by storing the state of its inputs when enabled, allowing it to maintain that state independently of the input once set. This characteristic is essential for temporary data storage in digital circuits, making it a fundamental component in memory applications.
