Question

I'm thinking about using SQL Server Availability Groups in SQL Server 2012 to offload reporting on our main database to a second read only server that is kept in sync through the availability group.

My question is when I run big reports on the read-only server that would normally create lots of blocking if run on the read/write version do the locks propagate from the read only server back to the read/write server? Or do the locks stay only on the read-only server and just cause blocking on data waiting to be synced?

Trying to see if having a read-only server would resolve some issues I am having.

No correct solution
