I use MS SQL Server 2014 for my Java-based web app. I saw a few database-related exceptions in the web log. Each one looks like the following:
Transaction (Process ID 138) was deadlocked on lock | communication buffer resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
From the above info, I am not able to see which tables are involved. How can I find out the tables in question based on the above information?

I am getting deadlock error when updating a table :
Transaction (Process ID 67) was deadlocked on lock | communication buffer resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
All other works perfectly fine. The thing making me uncomfortable is I have restarted the server itself 4-5 times how is the dead lock still on table.
Any suggestions?
Transaction (Process ID 67) was deadlocked on lock | communication buffer resources
This is probably caused by a bug while running a parallel query. Upgrade SQL Server to a later version, or disable parallelism for this query or the whole server.
I have created a Flow to update the GUID(the unique identifier of CDS entity records) into an SQL Server table From CDS whenever a new record is created in CDS. The flow is working fine If I create records one by one. But If I import multiple records(around 3000 records) from SQL to CDS using Dataflows, then I am getting the below deadlock error in Flows.
"Transaction (Process ID 74) was deadlocked on lock resources with
another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the
transaction."
The dataflow refreshes the data on a scheduled basis. So, I could not resubmit the failed runs every time.
How to get rid of this deadlock issue? Or Is there any other approaches to update the SQL table in an efficient way?
I tried options like the degree of parallelism(10 records), retry policy. But no use. If I reduce the parallelly running records to 1, then it is running slowly and taking more than 1h for updating 1000 records.
If your query is a deadlock victim, you can create extended event session to capture details about this event. Then, having the deadlock graph you will find the real cause of your issue.
The graph will show you exactly what's the resource lock causing it and the involved statements.
you can try to change isolation level of your transactions in your connection with
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED

I have running a concurrent SQL job to update the data in the same table. Which is making deadlock on the server-side. I have tried the locking method which does not solve my problem.
We are experiencing the mentioned dead lock exception while doing CRUD on two SQL Server tables from parallel threads by calling Stored Procedures, here is the detailed scenario:
We have a desktop application where we are spinning up a code block in 100 - 150 parallel threads, the code block does insertion in TableA using SQL Bulk Copy and makes calls to three Stored Procedures, The stored procedures do insertion, updation and deletion in TableB based on some selection from TableA.
Soon as the application starts execution of the threads, SQL Server starts throwing the mentioned dead lock exception for a certain number of threads while some of the threads do run fine.
Exception Message:
Transaction (Process ID 160) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.
Any help in this regard is appreciated in advance.
Thanks.
Is this SQL Server or SQL Azure/Azure SQL DB? If it's "box" SQL Server, you might consider ALTER DATABASE SET READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT ON. This will enable read versioning. It's still possible to encounter deadlocks in this state, but it's as close to a silver bullet as you're likely to get.
Read versioning changes the concurrency model in some subtle ways, so be sure to read about it first and make sure it's compatible with your business logic: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tcbchxcb(v=vs.110).aspx
Otherwise, Srivats's other suggestion about minimizing transaction scope is not always simple to implement but is still solid. To that list, I would add: Ensure that you have well-indexed query access paths, and verify that none of the queries within your transactions require full table or index scans.
The message is clearly evident that Transaction (Process ID 160) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process.The lock could be on different levels. The locks are not getting released before another thread could lock that particular resource. Try to kill that Process Id and check the workflow if there are any lock conflicts.
I have a scheduled job with a SP running on daily basis (SQL Server 2005). Recently I frequently encounter deadlock problem for this SP. Here is the error message:
Message
Executed as user: dbo. Transaction (Process ID 56) was deadlocked on thread |
communication buffer resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock
victim. Rerun the transaction. [SQLSTATE 40001] (Error 1205). The step failed.
The SP uses some inter joined views to some tables, one of them is a large size data table with several million rows of data(and keep growing). I am not sure if any job or query against to the table will cause the SP un-accessible to the table? I am going to investigate who is on line by using the query. That may expose some query or person on SQL server during that time.
Not sure if any one have similar issue or this is known SQL 2005 issue? Any additional way I should do in my SP or on SQL server to avoid the deadlock?
Use the SQL Server Profiler to track all the queries that are running. I put the output into SQL Server. This will help you figure out which ones are accessing your particular table / tables. Post your findings, and we can help you with that.
Deadlocks are when two transactions are each holding onto some resources and want a resource that the other one has as well - neither can proceed as they are both waiting for each other. They cannot be completely eliminated, but a lot can be done to mitigate them. Remus and Raj suggest capturing more information about them in Profiler - which I also recommend - generally optimizing your queries (if you know which ones are involved) can also help. Here is an MSDN article that can help get you going: "Minimizing Deadlocks".
