What is the common level of granularity of database contention? Is the contention usually on the table level, the row level or the cell level?

I could be wrong but I'm going to guess it's going to be table level as row-level or cell-level seems too specific for a user or service, but a table makes much more sense.

I agree with @abist. The contention typically is at a table-level. Further, in case of sharded databases, some shards could be a cause of contention rather than the entire table itself.
