Took me a minute to overcome the 'owner' and 'request' jargon in the deadlock graph.

To me they're all locks and blocks.

So an 'owner' arrow could by paraphrased as 'blocked by', and the request arrow is just the lock request?

:rolleyes:

I'm spoiled with some nice 3rd party tools, but the profiler deadlock graph looks like something I can use.

Thanks for the great article.
