deadlocks

  • I support a production machine in which we have been live now for over 10 months. Win2003/SQL2000. Over the past several days, nightly processes that have been running this entire production time on the exact same schedule have now been deadlocking.

    System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Transaction (Process ID 250) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.

    This is a third party app for which I support so code changes for me wouldn't be possible. From a sql standpoint, is there anything I can do to monitor this situation? Setting changes?

     

  • Enable trace flags 3605 and 1204 which will write the information to sql error log so that you can find what statement is causing the deadlocking...

    DBCC TRACEON (3605,1204,-1)
