Session Abstract:
Deadlocks strike fear in the hearts of even experienced database administrators. In this session we will walk through an example deadlock and show how to find and interpret the deadlock graph to understand what is happening. We will examine, rate, and test ways to defuse the deadlock. You'll leave the session with an understanding of the questions to ask and avenues to explore the next time you're hit by a deadlock.
