We've found deadlocks in the trace file that were not captured by our
Powerbuilder application. Some deadlocks are trapped or, at least,
reported to the user as a db error, and others are completely silent.
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.
Putting a raiserror into various parts of the same code (and code
review) appears to prove that we are error checking after each db
update. That is, it looks like we're checking, and a raiserror always
bubbles up to the app.
Can anyone shed some light on a.) How this could happen and b.) What
Should We Do?
Some of one of the traces below (with minor anotations.
Thanks

It may be more of a PowerBuilder issue than an SQL Server issue.
PowerBuilder may be doing something "smart" with deadlocks. The
deadlocks may also come in a situation where PowerBuilder is not prepared
for them.
To tell a war story, we had problem with RDO in Visual Basic and SQL 6.5.
We had a customer who occasionally would get half-baked transactions,
and strangely only the latter part of it, but we could not figure out
why. Eventually another customer went live, and they had a lot more
deadlocks. Eventually we found that when you sent bare SQL statements to
SQL Server, RDO would generate temporary stored procedures for this, and
often the dropping of these procedures caused a deadlock that rolled
back the transaction. But RDO failed to raise an error to the VB code,
so we just jogged along merrily, now without a transaction.

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

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 !

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
