Deadlock due to table level exclusive lock

Arun Srinivasan

Please correct me if I am wrong
1. no 2 processes can have exclusive lock on same object (by object,
same row or same table)
2. on deadlock incident between 2 processes only one of them will be
cancelled by db2 to let the other finish.

Now, can there be an instance where 2 processes have 'EXCLUSIVE LOCK'
on same table, and are waiting on the same 'EXCLUSIVE LOCK' held by
the other agent to be relinquished. They both are cancelled by db2
using the 911 sqlstate.
It has been continuously happening to me, and it perplexes me.

This happenes because I use the 'lock table <table_namein exclusive
mode' statement in a stored procedure, and I call that SP in three
applications at the same instance. Can this happen? I also got event
monitor output, and am analysing the same.

People write my 'problem ticket' off, saying this is a normal deadlock
issue. But I don't think so. Please help.

People? If you are talking about support, are you aware that you can
escalate to the duty manager if you don't like the answer you're getting?

What you describe should not happen. It is more likely that your
information is incomplete, than that there is a defect.. But on enever
knows.

What reason code is DB2 returning to each agent?

I don't think it's possible to get SQL0911N RC=2 (deadlock) from both
agents.

However, if you are getting SQL0911N RC=68 (lock timeout) from one
agent and SQL0911N RC=2 (deadlock) from the other agent, this could
happen - theoretically - if LOCKTIMEOUT is set to the same value as
DLCHKTIME. I think it would be highly unlikely (both agents would
have to request the other's locks within microseconds of each other).

Deadlock on a Prepare?

by: Todd McNeill | last post by:

Hi- We ran into some very strange deadlocks this AM, and I was hoping to get some insight. We were running a REORGCHK on a database, and started getting deadlocks. What is curious is that according to the deadlock event monitor, the deadlock was between the REORGCHK process and another client attempting a SQL execution, and the Prepare was requesting an Exclusive lock. Is that normal? Maybe I'm reading the monitor output...

deadlock related

by: Sumanth | last post by:

Hi , I am trying to acquire a lock on a table A in exclusive mode, and this statement gives an error indicating a deadlock or timeout has been detected. The lock timeout value is set to 0 which I understand is to wait for however long it takes to acquire a lock. Also there are other processes that have acquired row level exclusive locks on the table A when this error happened.Is DB2 throwing this error as a pre-emptive measure.
