Solution The only solution for handling deadlocks is to find the problem in your code and then modify your processing to avoid deadlock situations. How deadlocks work you can run the following code in the Northwind database. SQL SERVER – Identify Blocking, deadlocks and troubleshooting. There are many different ways in SQL Server to identify a blocks and blocking process that are listed as follow: Since neither can proceed until the other releases its lock on some resource, the SQL Engine will choose one of the processes to kill (known as a 'deadlock victim'). That happens when each process has a lock on a resource that the other wants, so that they're waiting on each other (that is, they're "blocking" each other). B cannot put a shared lock on the row due to A's exclusive lock, so B is "blocked" and must wait for A to finish).ĭeadlocking: is when 2 processes engage in a 'deadly embrace'. Selects typically issue a "shared lock", which will let other shared locks be issued on that resource but will prevent "exclusive locks" from being issued.īlocking: is simply when one process wants to use a resource that another process is already using and the in-place lock is incompatible with the desired lock (e.g., process A is updating a row and has an exclusive lock on it and process B wants to read that row. Locking : is the act by the SQL Server engine of temporarily "claiming" some resource (row, page, table, etc.) The degree to which that resource is claimed or locked depends on the action being performed.
