database Locking

database Locking

There is a DTS package which contains only one process as

select * into temp_tbl1 from
(select * from openqyery(linked_ser,'select * from act_tbl1))

where temp_tbl1 is my table at my local machine while the act_tbl1 is the table at the remote site from where i need to pull the data....

when ever i try to execute the package the whole local database gets locked for the time the package is executing. i can query the tables and views but i cannot look into their definitons

can some one pls help
