i got “Transaction WAS DEADLOCKED ” in update query with below query structure, the concept of query is i am updating one table values from another table values

UPDATE tableA SET
tableA.emp_imageURL = tableB.emp_imageURL
FROM
(select emp_id,emp_imageURL from Attendance_Entry WITH (NOLOCK) where ident_id=’7767′ ) as tableA

group by emp_id)
AS tableB

We are facing Deallocks while calling 2 sps in our system from last 2 3 months …the sps have insert, update queries on a set of tables … First time when we got the deadlock, we solved the issue adding NoLock to a SELECT query which was causing the deadlock.. afterwords we started getting deadlocks on another table to which we add Primary Key.. now again the deadlock is appearing on another table .. We cant go and add PKs or NoLocks on every table .. but need some solution.. can anybody help ??

I think is memory issue, we don’t have explicit lockings, so there’s no another explication…

This error happend in my application last week, but I don’t use transactions in this routine code.
What can it be? Problem in the server? Can anybody help me?

I don’t know what to say to my customer, I think it’s some problem there, not in my program.

Thank you!

Look at intermediate tuple sizes or other processes running at the same time. Use worst query reports to find the issue or is it that your server wont cope with the number of concurrent sessions?

I have also received same kind of error as Query Exception: Transaction (Process ID 112) was deadlocked on lock | communication buffer resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction . We are using a procedure which can be called in the page when many users might be browsing at that time , we are seeing this error in the event logs , i have used deadlock priority to normal but still the issue exists . If any possible solution please let me know . We have indexes on the related tables also accordingly .This issue is using so much of resources that is causing serious errors further after continuous deadlocks happens. thanks in advance.

We have 2 ETL processes, running in parallel that insert into the same table (no issues with duplication). When we originally created the table we did not have any indexes. The parallel ETL processes did not have any problems. After creating the indexes, whenever we ran the processes, we began encountering the “1205″ issue. We have other similar parallel processes with other tables (with indexes) that don’t encounter the “1205″ but this may be due to the volume of inserts.

I saw that whereas the server usually used 1.6GB for the SQLServer process this had dropped to 0.7. I re-booted the server and the problem went away. I am keeping a much closer eye on system resources now.

I guess the volumes have climbed. So I start down then path of re-engineering the proc but I found 2 things.
1. the proc fails when run in a test database (copy of live) with no other users.
2. Much simpler month end proc has started failing with 1205. This is run by SQL Agent 23:00 Sunday evening with no other users – I have a bouncer proc to make sure of that.

This makes NO SENSE!!
