Tom, I've read your book It is said that deadlocks are very rare, harmless unless there is unindexed fk. Then, it is contrary to the Oracle principle that commit should be delayed But why did your example result in a deadlock?

November 02, - am UTC. That "deadlock" was a "self deadlock". That is not a real world "issue" here, if this happens in your application via the use of autonomous transaction that is most definitely an "application bug". You did it to yourself. Not at all. The only principle is that a transaction should be: a as short as it can be b AS LONG AS IT NEEDS that is, do not commit a partial transaction "because it is easier on the database" -- that would be a really bad idea but a common practice in many other databases -- a very very bad practice.

You commit immediately after executing the last statement in the series of statements that constitute your transaction. Not a moment before 2 i never got a test case, an example, so there is nothing i can clarify. You cannot "block yourself" indefinitely -- it would just sit there forever!

I have a deadlock scenario where a user interface is deadlocking with some process, and I looked at all the queries related to deadlock only the deadlock queries.

And I come to a conclusion that the application s are not using locking. Especially the user interface application is not using locking at all becuse I see plain sql statements in it. All the foreign keys are indexed. Could you please comment? A reader, November 03, - am UTC. Tom, The plain sqls I talked about are simple select statements with no for update, wait, nowait clauses. One application that is involved in deadlocks is using such sqls.

All the queries use bind variables. The select statement is used only as a part of 'insert into select x, y, z from I think there is no intention for locking. I agree locks are necessary for deadlocks but the sqls doesn't seem to acquire locks.

Then how is it possible that deadlocks are occuring despite the reason that deadlocks are rare, will be taken care etc Why are the inserts and updates resulting in deadlocks? What could the other app process be doing?

Any comments will be helpful and appreciated. How presence of primary key affects locking behaviour on block level? November 04, - am UTC. A reader, November 22, - pm UTC. Will, December 06, - am UTC.

Yes, the select for update will block any concurrent update. The update statement does not have options like nowait or skip locked as "select for update" has.

Sorry for the poor phrasing. I meant if it's in the middle of updating the rows update query came first , will the select for update query be blocked or throw an exception when accessing the rows being updated? The select for update will be blocked. You can use nowait but the select will end immediately without raise any exception. If you use "skip locked" instead you will lock only a subset of rows.

Thank you, I'll have to find a workaround for that issue since I need to use "nowait" — plsnoban.
