  Monitor Database Resources: Check the database server for resource usage (CPU, memory, disk space) and ensure that it is not overloaded. If necessary, optimize the database or increase resources.
  Investigate Locks: Use database tools to check for locks that may be preventing the SQL operation from completing. If necessary, resolve the locking issue by terminating the blocking session.
