The percent of the lock table one tenant can occupy.
Note: Lock governor applies to the default tenant and a regular tenant. This governor does not apply to super-tenants and non multi-tenant databases.
Lock governor prevents a tenant from acquiring all the locks in a table. When a tenant attempts to acquire more locks than the governor would allow, an error message is displayed and recorded in the database log as:
Attempt to exceed tenant lock governor for tenant <tenantID>. Increase -L or -LGovernor.
