I believe there was a little side note about the idea of oracle cleaning up the 
deadlocks in the 'scratchpad'  by Jonathan Lewis -- ie not guaranteed in all 
situations or something to that affect.   I am in the midst of trying to change 
my email address on that, and logging out as well. If I find it, I'll post the 
link.

Subject: deadlock

10.2.0.1.1 database on windows.  Response is slow.  Application seems to be a 
piece of crap.
I set trace on for his session, and he re-enacted the "slowness"
Details of the deadlock are below.  After I traced the session and explained to 
the developer that his code created a deadlock when it should not have, here's 
what I got back from him:
Barb,****

** **

    I do not want to explain how deadlock works/happens but that is not the 
cause for slow response.  If you get a deadlock situation between two sessions, 
Oracle automatically terminates one of the sessions immediately and allows 
other session to continue.  Deadlock does not slow down the database response 
but it does terminates one of the sessions involved in the deadlock.


He further went on to explain that the deadlock would be frequent because the 
database is slow.  He's trying to talk me into exporting the entire database 
and then re-importing it.


Show of hands:  who thinks it is good development to lock a table on a select 
and then allow Oracle to terminate one of the sessions??

(Extra points to Oracle for putting in the caveat about the deadlock directly 
into the trace file!!)

The following deadlock is not an ORACLE error. It is a

deadlock due to user error in the design of an application

or from issuing incorrect ad-hoc SQL. The following

information may aid in determining the deadlock:
