Joel, In case of deadlock occurring on Transaction (TX) enqueue held on mode X and waited on mode S I can think of 3 possibilities 1. 1) Presence of Bitmap Indexes à That is not your case 2. 2) ITL slot contention à That is not your case because statements are insert and your table is not an IOT (I believe) 3. 3) Primary key or unique Key overlapping à thats your case And yes developers should in this case review their code to not allow unique/primary key overlapping Best regards Mohamed Houri 2013/3/20 Patterson, Joel <jpatterson@xxxxxxxxxx> > I probably shouldn't ask, but how does one session know that another > session has uncommitted values about to be committed that would conflict > with what itself? > > But aside from that, I wish to report back to the developers that are > asking about this that --... essentially it is an application issue... and > provide some suggestions such as the order of tables and/or rows... but > more specifically in this case, from what I am reading, it is counter > productive to report back that the trace file is incorrect...
