I recommend the query hint while doing testing to see if it resolves the issue, but I think bumping up cost threshold for parallelism will be a better long term solution. How SQL Server resolves deadlocks SQL Server has a lock monitor that provides automatic deadlock detection, by periodically checking for the existence of any circular locking chains. I'm sure there are other experts out there who may have better advice!ĮDIT - I just wanted to add that adding a query hint is not the "best" solution, but is more of a workaround solution. When this happens, the SQL Server ends the deadlock by automatically choosing one and aborting the process, allowing the other process to continue.

If you cannot reproduce it on test, then things get interesting as it may end up being trial and error. Introduction A deadlock is a situation wherein two transactions wait for each other to give up their respective locks. MAXDOP 1 query hint may not solve your problem either if parallelism is the right tool for your workload.īut if you can reproduce it on test, it makes it a lot easier to debug and correct. I'd proceed with caution when working with that setting. NOTE - adjusting cost threshold for parallelism affects the entire instance, so you may introduce new slowness (or improved performance) by changing that value. We can't see your queries, your data or your deadlock graph, so we don't know your specific use case.

Now, if your query is deadlocking with some other queries, then you may need to look at other solutions such as pulling the data you are locking into temporary objects (table variables or temp tables) to work off of instead of holding the locks on them. How to resolve deadlocks in SQL Server Jby Esat Erkec In this article, we will talk about the deadlocks in SQL Server, and then we will analyze a real deadlock scenario and discover the troubleshooting steps. If your query is deadlocking on itself, then this should fix the problem. This would be a short-term solution if it fixes it as this may only hide the deadlock or make it less likely to happen. In your case, since the problem appears to be related to parallelism, I'd be checking to see if the problem persists when you remove parallel processing (MAXDDOP 1 query hint). Resolving deadlock issues might be a complicated or impossible task depending on the scenario, or it may be as easy as adjusting the cost threshold for parallelism.

Reviewing the code is about making a list of what locks are need and when so I can map out which use case would result in a deadlock. Replicating on test allows me to reproduce the problem and build up a test case for it so I know when the problem is resolved. Review deadlock graph is so I know which queries resulted in the deadlock and will help me in determining how to reproduce this on test. To resolve it, my first step would be like with any other deadlock that I have - review deadlock graph, replicate on test, review code for potential deadlock issues, resolve deadlock issues. The specific quote from that link - "Communication Buffer resources" are exchangeEvents used for combining results of parallel queries If a resource is already locked when a transaction requests a lock on it, the new lock can only be acquired if it is compatible with the existing lock on the resource.Did a quick google on this and found this link:įrom what I am understanding from the above, the communication buffer in a deadlock means that there were multiple parallel processes that resulted in the deadlock. > Prevents transactions from modifying/locking the higher-level resource with an incopatible lock for the lower-level lock being acquired. > Acquires on higher-level resources to protect locks on lower-level resources Intent (I) - acquired to establish the lock hierarchy > Reads can only occur using NOLOCK or read uncommitted, read committed snapshot isolation levels. > Ensures that multiple changes cannot be made to the same resource at the same time > Prevents access to a resource from concurrent transactions. > Concurrent shared (S) locks are allowedĮxclusive (X) - acquired for data modifications

Sql server deadlock solution update#

> The update (U) lock is converted to an exclusive (X) lock to modify the data > Prevents deadlocks caused by lock conversions from a shared (S) lock to an exclusive (X) lock.

> Only one transaction can acquire an update (U) lock at a time.

Update (U) - acquires for resources that will be updated. > Locks are released as soon as the read operation completes unless the isolation level is repeatable read or higher or hints are used To eliminate a transactional deadlock, SQL Anywhere selects a connection from those involved in the deadlock, rolls back the changes for the transaction. > Concurrent SELECT operations can read the data > No transaction can modify data while the shared lock exists. Shared (S) - acquired for read operations that do not modify data.
