Deadlock or Timeout when delete/update rows with BLOB

[Ray]

I am having my first experience using BLOB as a row in a table. I am
using it to insert graphics for labels we print. I have no problem
inserting into and select from the table. The graphic is being stored
correctly.

Whenever I attempt to delete a row from my application I get the
following error.
SQL0911N The current transaction has been rolled back because of a
deadlock or timeout. Reason code "68". SQLSTATE=40001

I know the row is not locked as only I have access to this development
database.

Also when I attempt to update a row within the table (even to jsut
alter the NAME row that is only characters) the update always fails but
my application will return true as if the update was a success. When I
check the row via the CLP the old name is still there.

Am I missing something with working with BLOBs?
Thanks,
Ray

Do a:
db2 list applications show detail
to see if there are other connections.
Do a snapshot before locks right before and right after the update. If you
cannot figure it out, post the results of the above on this forum.

[gimme_this_gimme_that]

This is crude and I don't recommend it and I know little about DB2.
That being said ...

You could try updating the record with a an empty BLOB and then
deleting it.

I did the snapshot for the row locking and something strange is
happening. It looks like the row is being locked but after the update
the lock is lost and the commit is doing nothing.
For all my other tables I get the following:
After the lock but before the update I have two locks on the table (U,
IX)
After the update but before the commit I have two locks (X,IX)
After the commit all locks are released. With this table and the BLOB I
am getting distinctly different results. I can post a log of a basic
lock,update, commit for a table I know works if that would help.

Here is a snapshot right after I selected the row for update on the
BLOB table. At this point it is locked and not updated.

And here is the snapshot after I have updated but before a commit has
been issued.
As you can see the locks have been lost for the application ID even
though a commit has not been issued. I am lost.
