How to avoid Deadlock in this scenario?
mysql,database,database-deadlocks
First I have some nasty things to say, then I will get to a possible solution. "Don't queue it, just do it." -- MySQL does not make a good queuing engine. Do add BEGIN...COMMIT (as already mentioned). And the BEGIN...COMMIT needs to be around the other code, too. Do add...
Postgres 9.3: Sharelock issue with simple INSERT
It looks like you're in this situation: The table to INSERT into has a primary key (or unique index(es) of any sort). Several INSERTs into that table are performed within one transaction (as opposed to committing immediately after each one) The rows to insert come in random order (with regard...
What are 'best practices' for dealing with transient database errors in a highly concurrent Rails system?
ruby-on-rails,activerecord,database-deadlocks
The fix, for me, was a better index. The update in question was in a query with a join, and existing indexes were not sufficient for MySQL to join and search efficiently. Adding the appropriate index completely removed the deadlock issue even in tests with unreasonably concurrent loads....
Deadlock In Sql Server 2012 With Merge
This sounds like a hard to solve deadlock. Usually, one would solve this by ensuring a consistent lock order and increasing the lock mode to something above S. It is unclear how this would be done here. Suggestions: Can you tolerate the (rare) background update to U-lock the table? That...
T-SQL Deadlocks when I query SELECT in autocommit off mode in SQL Server Management Studio

See this Technet article on deadlocking - it uses the case of a single table with only 2 rows to discuss how a deadlock can be created. Once you get into real-world systems with far more tables, connections and code-paths predicting and preventing deadlocks becomes much harder. If you are...

MySQL Deadlock On 2 Updates
mysql,innodb,database-deadlocks
From MySQL Documentation - 14.2.7.9 How to Cope with Deadlocks (highlight added): When modifying multiple tables within a transaction, or different sets of rows in the same table, do those operations in a consistent order each time. Then transactions form well-defined queues and do not deadlock. For example, organize database...
Database deadlock by select statement
mysql,database,deadlock,database-deadlocks
With the InnoDB storage engine (the default), reads are non-blocking - so two selects cannot block each other. InnoDB is a versioning engine using MVCC (multi-version concurrency control) meaning that a transaction (A) will take a copy of the records of interest at a moment in time - if it...

You could do it in two stages; query the table with FOR UPDATE NOWAIT, which will throw an exception if the row is already locked, and then do the update (and commit) if it doesn't error: SELECT * FROM person WHERE person_id = 1234567 FOR UPDATE NOWAIT; UPDATE person SET...
