Re: Deadlocks

If I recall correctly, a deadlock gives an ora-60 error in the alert log and
kills one of the two sessions (which one has always been a mistery to me,
the doc says it's the one that initiates the deadlock... but since deadlock
is essentialy a circular block, this makes little sense). Now, when Oracle
kills a session, the ENTIRE transaction is rolled back.
