Hello,
As the amount of simultaneous users of my database grows (25 users
sometimes, PGSQL 7.4.5), deadlocks are unfortunately more and more
frequent. I guess this is due to the FKs problem with Postgresql.
I have tried to correct that by adding a "SET CONSTRAINTS ALL DEFERRED"
in every trigger and function, hoping it would solve my problem. Maybe
it helped, but it did not solve anything.
I don't know if anyone has a better idea, but I would like to try taking
away some FKs in my schema. My problem is that I really don't know which
one to delete. There are over 40 tables. Are there rules to do that? Or
maybe can I simply wait on the next deadlock, and try understanding who
got locked by who? OK, but how can I do that?
Thanks for your help!
Philippe
Note: I have read about a patch for FK's, is that something that can
really be used in production?

Note that set constraints all deferred does nothing unless you made the
constraint deferrable which is not the default. If your constraints
aren't then you won't see any effect, and you'll probably want to change
them and see if that does help (and possibly making them initially
deferred at the same time).

I think you may be able to do this if you turn on statement locking and
try to resurrect the state from the logs. If you want to send a possibly
slightly sanitized typical sequence of events, we might be able to help
with that part.

Also look in pg_locks and pg_activity.

I am getting lot of deadlocks in my application. As it is very complex
ti avoid deadlocks at this stage of application we have done few steps
to lessen the impact.
We have added retries after deadlock is capturted.
We have added select * from TABLE with (nolock) wherever possible.
But interestingly second step is not working. I have few simple select
statements where i am using nolock criteria still I am getting

I'm having a problem with deadlocks in a table in SQL server when

use the same Biztalk solution to update a similar dummy table, but
when I try updating the original table in the production database,
some transactions are updated successfully whereas others become the

We've also seen evidence of strange data that would be explained by
unprocessed deadlocks, although we've not yet proven that the
unreported deadlocks are killing updates to the db.

Hello all,
I am trying to figure out when it is appropriate to use shared and
exclusive locks with InnoDB. Using shared locks (lock in share mode), I
can easily create a scenario with 2 clients that deadlocks - start 2
transactions, open 2 shared locks, and both try to insert a new row
before either commits.
Using exclusive locks (for update) I cannot come up with a scenario that
results in a deadlock, since the very nature of the...

There's another poster complaining about referential integrity checks causing
deadlocks. Unfortunately I've deleted the message so this response (and the
archives aren't responding) isn't going to show up on the right thread.
The reason the deadlock is happening is because of a known deficiency in
Postgres that postgres has to take an exclusive lock on the records to ensure
they aren't deleted before your insert/update commits....

We're getting numerous deadlocks in a multi-user system where users are coming in and updating their own data.
In our troubleshooting/traces, the deadlocks seem to be coming from lock contention on a Primary Key Clustered Index, not on the table itself.
Also, from what we can see, the application is requesting multiple locks on the Primary Key Index as it proceeds to perform the update on the primary table.
Can anybody shed some light...

There are many references to deadlock handlers that retry the
transaction automatically.
But IMO a deadlock is the result of a design flaw that should be
fixed.
My applications treat deadlocks like any other runtime error - they
are logged and fixed.
There seems to be a an opinion that deadlocks are inevitable !

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.
