hi all
i have a very simple control table with 1 record, this record manages number increments for various ranges such as sales order, invoices no credit number etc, so its a very heavily accessed and updated table, which leads to it being a table where i get lots of deadlocks where various people are trying to update at the one time.
the table has one Clustered index, which has only 1 column - the company branch that everyone uses to update..
i cant add fields or create new tables, only index, and id rather not touch the clustered index so is there anything else i can do to lift the congestion here?
thanks
mal

If the updates are done within transactions, you could get better perf by ensuring that the transactions are as short as possible (no OPEN TRAN ... Loop ... COMMIT).

How to post data/code on a forum to get the best help.

I take it upgrading to SQL2014 and making this table an in-memory table isn't an option...?

Can you post the deadlock graph?

A deadlock has to be two sessions (or more) and two resources (or more), so there's something else involved.

hi Gila, do you mean this?

Gail Shaw SSC Guru Points: 1004504 More actions · Answer 6

Not a picture of the deadlock graph. The graph itself, either saved as a file (.xdl) or paste the text of it.

Can you please post the CREATE TABLE for SalBranch, and the CREATE INDEX statement for each index on it.

Just a dumb question, but could this be a result of the Branch column being updated when it is also the column used in the WHERE clause? Also, didn't the OP state that there is only one row of data in the table?

No, that won't cause a deadlock alone.
