I am using the database isolation level as read committed. I have also used proper transaction blocks and try -catch handler in my stored procedure.The issue is only geting replicated in the production environment which has 250 users accessing the system concurrently.Can anyone please suggest the cause and the fix of this issue.

If I understand this correctly, the SQL server is telling the application that it's not able to write its transaction at this time. What the application SHOULD do at this point, is to pause and attempt to re-post its data to the SQL server after a short delay. Would that be correct?

I've got a SP that takes less than 300ms to run consisting of a few selects, updates and inserts. I saw the deadlock error on 4 computers when users tried to run the same SP (with different params) within a second or two of each other. Only 1 person didn't get an error. SQL should just queue the requests to avoid creating deadlock victims. I'm very annoyed with it, I thought it was smarter than that. It should be for what it costs. :-( MS SQL 2005 is supposed to be a multi-user database, unlike Access, so why isn’t it smart enough to queue up the requests and process them in a linear fashion if it’s otherwise going to cause a deadlock?

Deadlock occurs when two users have locks on separate objects and each user wants a lock on the other’s object. I have a feeling that one of the users does not need to be there. I logged on with two seperate accounts and setup replication. The first, which I used the wrong account might be in there still. Can I find out which users are using which process?
