A deadlock is defined in the dictionary as “a standstill resulting from the action of equal and opposed forces,” and this turns out to be a reasonable description of a deadlock in SQL Server: two or more sessions inside of the database engine end up waiting for access to locked ...
In this case, unless a lock time out is specified, T1 will wait indefinitely. SQL Server has no way of knowing that it is indeed the case and it does not do anything. An external intervention is required to break it, typically by killing the first transaction. Second, what if T2 reques...
Both transactions in a deadlock will wait forever unless the deadlock is broken by an external process. the SQL Server Database Engine deadlock monitor periodically checks for tasks that are in a deadlock. If the monitor detects a cyclic dependency, it chooses one of the tasks as a victim...
Classic deadlock occurs when 2 processes compete for the resources and waiting on each other. Let’s take a look on that. Click on each picture below to open them in the different window. Let’s assume that Orders table has the clustered index on ID column.Let we have the session 1...
The following code shows one such deadlock in the pubs database. (You can run this code side-by-side in two Query Analyzer windows in SQL Server 2000 or in two Management Studio queries in SQL Server 2005.) In one window, prefix the body of the code with the following:Copy ...

In this scenario, deadlocks may occur on the query notification system tables (for example, a system table with a name that resembles sys.query_notification_xxxxxx). Additionally, the following deadl...
