How to exclusively lock a row that prevent CRUD operation

Question

Hi expert how I can lock a row in sql server that prevent CRUD operation even SELECT. Is it Possible? Serializable Isolation level does not prevent SELECT. thanks

Answer 1

It's possible to lock a row using a locking hint WITH (ROWLOCK), however a SELECT statement can always get around it by adding a locking hint WITH (NOLOCK) which will provide a dirty read.
