why lock escalation happened

hi, we are using db2 udb v8.1 on 64 bit windows, this message is in
the db2diag.log file

ADM5502W The escalation of "38200" locks on table "xxx.xxx" to lock
intent "X" was successful.
currently i have locklist = 1075, maxlock=60, so based on the formula

(((locks held * 36)/ (locklist *4096)) *100) , i have the answer is
31, compare with maxlock 60, i should still have space for locks to
grow, so why this point the escalation happened?

Locks are 56 bytes on 64-bit DB2, not 36. This means that these 38200 locks
are consuming 48.5% of the lock list, not 31%.
(See
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...n/r0000268.htm)

Lock escalation occurs when the TOTAL number of locks held by ALL
applications exceeds MAXLOCKS percent of the lock list.

While it is true that the 38200 locks held on table xxx.xxx only consume
48.5% of the lock list, these locks combined with all the other locks held
in the system exceeded the 60% threshold (set by MAXLOCKS)

Thus, DB2 chooses the table with the largest number of row locks and
escalates the row locks to table locks, in order to free up lock list.

That differs from what the Administration Guide: Performance says:

"When the number of locks held by any one application reaches this
percentage [defined in maxlocks] of the total lock list size, lock
escalation will occur for the locks held by that application. Lock
escalation also occurs if the lock list runs out of space."

Your application is taking out more locks than you're allowing (per
application or per instance). This may well be related to your other problem
(log space full): both being caused by not committing. Otherwise, increase
the lock list size. In any case (regardless of the explanation), use the DB2
monitor to monitor the lock list usage to see what's happening.

DB2 v7.2 (FP7 - DB2 v7.1.0.68) on AIX 5.2.0.0. We're seeing unexpected single row (then commit) insert locking behaviour. We're seeing Applications that already hold row-level W locks in lock-wait, waiting to acquire row-level X locks. The lock-waits are behind applications that have row-level X locks on different rows (honestly). Both executing and lock-waiting applications have been granted IX table locks.

Hello, all. I have the following production DB2 environment. DB2 8.1.4 (fp4) WG edition with 2 production databases on Windows 2003 standard edition. My first question is regard with locking. I found some escalations for X lock on some tables. How do I work out an appropriate MAXLOCK & LOCKTIMEOUT settings to optimize the lock escalation issue.

Hi folks, we have a little discussion about lock escalation... What is better for performance: To have an escalation "early" (smaller locklist) or aviod the escalation with a big lock list? We don't care about concurrency - because the changes have to be done, other SQL waiting for this is OK. Anyhow - I think: A lock table in exclusive mode would be the the most

Have a peculiar problem regarding lock escalation. Originally lock escalation was occurring because of an application changing most of the rows in a large table. After setting locksize to table to overcome this, still seeing periodic lock escalations (every hour or so) but only of abour 20 rows and for one application at a time. Given a 100MB lock list, why is escalation kicking in and only escalation about 2K of locks? MAXLOCKS would also...
