Record locking in deadlock

I have an application that uses Postgres 7.2.3. It appears to deadlock fromtime to time. I'm not absolutely sure that it deadlocks, but I'm pretty sure because all of a sudden all my updates block, and my postgres processes are all idle.

The strange thing is that my application never concurrently modifies any row (although it does modify multiple rows in the same table within a given transaction), so I don't know how this could happen, unless perhaps locking occurs on pages rather than rows. Can someone explain to me how/why my application could be deadlocking?

Thanks in advance.

Hi All, I want to lock 2 tables on 2 servers using TABLOCKX hint. These tables function as semaphores in my application. It means when the tables are locked then other users will not be able to access them and automatically they can not continue their works. I have tried using the following code, but it does not work. I always got the error :

(MSSQL2000) I have read the transaction/locking sections in the MS-help, online and several books. What I want to understand is the transaction behavior in single statements . If I have a Table: "Letters" with 1 column "L" and the table presently has rows{A,B,C,D} Case 1 (Insert): First start transaction T1 "SELECT * FROM Letters" Next start transaction T2 "INSERT INTO Letters

I would like to use pissimistic locking for changing data on a database. (Yes, I know what I'm doing, it will scale poorly!) I tried it using a transaction with Isolationlevel "serializable". I set the select, insert, update and delete command of the DataAdapter to use this transaction. If I open a Row for editing, any other client trying to change the same row is blocked. But it is still possible to read the row which is locked for...

I'm having problem with using DAO recordset to append record into a table and subsequent code to update other tables in a transaction. The MDB is Access 2000 with the latest service pack of JET 4. The system is client/server, multiusers based. The MDBs are using record locking. Here is part of the code: Dim wkSpace As Workspace, db As Database Dim rstTrans As DAO.Recordset Set wkSpace = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)

Hello, I have a parent table(x_orders) and a child table(x_orders_contents), with a cascade delete on the child table. In a after delete trigger of the x_orders_contents table I'm updating a field in the x_orders corresponding row. This works when I delete a row directly from x_orders_contents, but seems to cause a lock when I delete a row from the parent table and the delete RI constraint is used. Is there a way to find if the RI...

I have an Access 2000 database behind a threaded Java application that that can have have concurrent access to the same table (but not the same record). The database is set up for shared access with "No locks" as the default, so that optimistic record locking should take place, and "Open databases using record-level locking" is selected. Each Java thread gets a new connection to the database, then updates its record. One of my users has...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
