Every once in a while on my intranet application I get Database errors. MS SQL Server will throw an error that the transaction was deadlocked.
It happens around a piece of code in which I have 2 queries, an Update and a Delete which are nested inside a CFTransaction. It also happens on another application that we use here at work. On this page, the only thing happening is an update query. I checked the date and time that the error occurred and I did not find 2 competing transactions, so I was completely baffled as to why a SQL deadlock would occur on a page where this just a single query. What I have done is put a CFLock around this, in the hopes that this will eliminate this error. Does anyone have any experience with this? If there are 2 users and they are not hitting the same table, but just hitting the same database, could a deadlock situation occur? This is the SQL Error I get: ODBC Error Code = 40001 (Serialization failure) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Transaction (Process ID 71) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction. Thanks, Ali The main question is: Is it ok to put a CFLock around one or more cfqueries that are nested in a Cftransaction. E.G.: <cflock> <cftransaction> <cfquery name="q1"> update table1 yadda yadda....... </cfquery> <cfquery name="q2"> delete table1 where ...... </cfquery> </cftransaction> </cflock> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:277354 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
