Replace trigger due to deadlock - but with what?

  • Hi all

    I have taken over the responsibility of a database. There keeps occurring deadlocks, because of the way the previous developer has designed some business rules.

    What i would like your meaning about is how do i do this in the proper way.

    The case is this (simplified a bit - but none the less valid for the discussion):

    We have some tasks. A task can be delayed and wait for another task to complete. And then of course a task can be completed.

    What we would like to occur, is that when a task is completed, then all tasks that are delayed with the completed task as reason, should be "undelayed".

    In the current implementation, we have a table Tasks, which has a trigger on insert/update that calls a stored procedure which handles the logic of undelaying.

    And this is where the deadlock occurs, because in a trigger for the table Tasks, we might want to update other rows in Tasks.

    So my question is: How can i ensure the same without using the deadlocking trigger?

    I would really much like it to be the database itself that handles the logic to enforce this. So no matter if i update by using SSMS or going through a web application or web service, it would be handled consistently.

    The trigger does in fact this, but carries a small sideeffect by deadlocking... 🙂

    I hope some of you guys has been here before, and can help me with a good solution.

    Best regards

    /Anders

  • If depends on what the trigger actually does.

    May we see the code?

    E 12°55'05.25"

  • It sounds like you can do this with a trigger or with a stored procedure. While I'm not a fan of triggers, if you need one, you need one. It sounds like the trigger might be referring to the tables in a different order than which they are normally accessed, or even, in a different order than the procedure that is calling the trigger accesses them. The classic deadlock scenario is where session A requests table X & Y and then escelates it's locks in the same order while session B requests tables Y & X and escelates it's locks in the reverse order.

    I'd verify that first, because even if you switch the processing of the data to procedures, the procedures will need to access the data in the same order.

    On the other hand, it could be something else entirely. when you say that processes are "delayed" does that mean that connections to the database are held open while the process is in the delayed state? If so, that's pretty likely to be the cause of the deadlocks. You really don't want to hold transactions open from the client.

    More details will help identify the core issue and therefor the solution.

  • Post the deadlock graph please?

    To get deadlock graph, turn traceflag 1222 on. Deadlock graph will then be written into the error log everytime a deadlock occurs.

  • Hi

    By tasks i didn't mean anything process-like. A task is just an object in our domain model. It could just as well had been a car, with a property cabin light and door state. If door state is changed to open, the light should be set to on. And when the door closes the light should be set off.

    Does that make it clearer?

    Anyway, i have turned trace flag 1222 on, and are awaiting the next deadlock. When it occurs i will post the deadlock graph here.

    Maybe i can see something from the graph myself, haven't ever looked at one of those before.

    Anyway, I will post when i know more. As it is with most deadlocks, it doesn't appear always, and can thus not say anything about when it will happen next...

    /Anders

  • Hi

    I have now experienced a few deadlocks catched by my own logging mechanism since i turned on trace 1222. I did that with

    DBCC TRACEON(1222)

    But i can't find anything in the log. What am i doing wrong?

    To explain my own logging mechanism in short.

    All insert /update stored procedures has a try-catch pattern.

    In the catch block, i exec a SP in which i insert a row in my log table, and then "re-raise" the exception with a new raiserror statement using the values from ERROR_MESSAGE(), ERROR_SEVERITY(), etc as parameters.

    Can this cause the deadlock not to be written in log?

    /Anders

  • DBCC TRACEON (1222,-1)

    The -1 turns it on globally. Without that the traceflag is only enabled for a single session, the one that turned it on. Since deadlocks are detected by system processes, the user process cannot pick up deadlocks, and hence no graph will be written.

    Also bear in mind that a restart of SQL will reset any traceflags to default settings.

  • Thanks. We learn every day... 🙂

    Hopefully i get some results on this side of Christmas, but going on holiday tomorrow, so propably i won't post any results this year.. 😉

    /Anders

  • Good luck. I assume you're not getting paged on the deadlock events? I would be, so I'd sure as heck get a resolution in place prior to Christmas.

  • Hi all,

    Now i actually caught a deadlock - they don't occur very often any more since i have made a change in a specific trigger, where they did occur most.

    How do i obtain a nice view on the deadlock graph? And how do you guys want it to be formatted when i post it here?

    /Anders

  • Just post it exactly as it was written into the errorlog. You can cut off the log datatime if you like.

    Easiest way is to open the errorlog in a text editor (it's just a text file) and copy-paste.

  • Ok, here it comes:

    I have replaced database name, machine names, table and procedure names, but that shouldn't impact on the essence.

    I hope this gives meaning to you. 🙂

  • In the future, if you post pieces from the error log, please find and open the error log in a text editor. The log reader within management studio puts the newer rows at the top and, as a result, that deadlock graph is upside down (starts at the bottom of the page and ends at the top) and it a little more difficult to read than normal.

    I'll look at it later.

  • Ok, will do that.

    I just exported from the log viewer.

    I'll look forward to hear from you when you've had the time to look at it.

    Do you want me to post in the right order?

  • I see you point now....

    Here is another one, which i would actually rather like you to see on. The first one may be caused by some manual run procedures from another guy. It appears so after i have looked a bit at it.

    But here comes a graph, in correct order and indents.
