Answer / dba
P1 has lock on R1
P2 has lock on R2
P1 requests lock on R2
P2 Requests lock on R1
Where P & R are corresponding processes and resources.
Deadlock consists of two processes requesting locks on
resources thus, blocking each other.
You can avoid Deadlocks:
Access objects in the same order
Use lower isolation levels
Keep Transactions short and in one batch
Avoid user interactions in transaction
Use bound connections

Answer / raghu
Consider there are transcations going on 1 row, some one is
trying to update a column in that row while others are
trying to retrive data of same row,while update locks the
row for some period of time others cannot select it, hence
deadlock occurs.
To kill the process is solution. In sql server 2005 use sql
profiler to view the process, in that see the column named
transactions if its value is more than 1 right click and
kill the process.
