    🙂 Very interesting and with many information I didn't know. One more, does the ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS option on indexes in the tables involved matters for deadlocks?

    thanks

    Albert,

    YES. These options make a difference. See the following thread where having ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS and ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS OFF caused deadlocking to occur.
