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 on this?
The output from the sp_lock procedure below shows multiple page-level
locks being acquired on the Primary Key Index during a Row update,
(all by the same SPID). Although the output below doesn't show any
WAIT status locks, usually we encounter several, and subsequently
have deadlocks. In addition, usually the lock mode being requested
is IX - for intent exclusive, just before a final 'X' mode lock being acquired -
presumably to update the index?
I'm not sure I understand why the index would even need updating?

Hi All,
I have a database that is serving a web site with reasonably high

We're getting errors at certain points where processes are being
locked. In particular, one of our people has suggested that an update
statement contained within a stored procedure that uses a where
condition that only touches on a column that has a clustered primary
index on it will still cause a table lock.
