    wayne: that is very handy bit of sql

    :blush: Thanks. It's been very handy for me also.

    it is impossible / unreasonable and unnecessary to stop all deadlocks

    It depends on what the cause of the deadlock is. It's not unreasonable to investigate each and every deadlock, and see what you can do about it.

    FWIW, when I started my job a bit over a year ago, we were getting regular deadlocks. After some work to set up traces to trap all deadlocks, and to investigate the causes and do some re-coding / indexing, deadlocks on our systems are now a very rare event.
