Deadlock troubleshooting

  • Hi,

    I am trying to find out why we have deadlocks on the SQL Server 2008 test box. I have the deadlock Event Data below. It refers to

    waitresource="KEY: 6:72057594061062144 (7b00162552d9)"

    but I can not find an object with 72057594061062144 id in the database. From SQL 2000 Experience it would mean DBID = 6 object_id = 72057594061062144 and page number = 7b00162552d9

    Does it work differently in SQL 2008? This makes it more difficult to find out what could be causing the deadlocks.

    Thanks.

    UPDATE [dbo].[Page]

    -- WITH (ROWLOCK)

    SET

    [BundleID] = @BundleID,

    [Filename] = @Filename,

    [FileTypeCode] = @FileTypeCode,

    [FileTypeDate] = @FileTypeDate,

    [PageNumber] = @PageNumber,

    [PageSetID] = @PageSetID,

    [UpdateUser] = @User,

    [UpdateDate] = @Date

    WHERE

    [PageID] = @PageID

    -- Store the result of the update statement

    Proc [Database Id = 6 Object Id = 2027870291]

    UPDATE [dbo].[Page]

    -- WITH (ROWLOCK)

    SET

    [BundleID] = @BundleID,

    [Filename] = @Filename,

    [FileTypeCode] = @FileTypeCode,

    [FileTypeDate] = @FileTypeDate,

    [PageNumber] = @PageNumber,

    [PageSetID] = @PageSetID,

    [UpdateUser] = @User,

    [UpdateDate] = @Date

    WHERE

    [PageID] = @PageID

    -- Store the result of the update statement

    Proc [Database Id = 6 Object Id = 2027870291]

    UPDATE [dbo].[Page]

    -- WITH (ROWLOCK)

    SET

    [BundleID] = @BundleID,

    [Filename] = @Filename,

    [FileTypeCode] = @FileTypeCode,

    [FileTypeDate] = @FileTypeDate,

    [PageNumber] = @PageNumber,

    [PageSetID] = @PageSetID,

    [UpdateUser] = @User,

    [UpdateDate] = @Date

    WHERE

    [PageID] = @PageID

    -- Store the result of the update statement

    Proc [Database Id = 6 Object Id = 2027870291]

  • Yeah, it's different in 2005 and 2008. That number's too large to be an object ID. It's actally a partitionID. To get the objectID back -

    select object_id from sys.partitions where partition_id = 72057594061062144

    Do you have the deadlock graph as an xml doc? If so, can you zip it and attach? I'm not sure how to interpret what you posted.

  • Attached the file. Had to change the extension from .xdl to .txt.

    I've actually posted it in the first message, but I did not realise that all the tags were removed.

    BTW, for some reason, this query did not return any results.

  • Strange. Did you run it in database 6?

    Have you dropped/truncated any tables since the deadlock message? It could account for why the partition is no longer there.

    Yes I did run it in db 6 and I don't think anything was dropped since the deadlock happened.

    What about the deadlock itself? It involves three identical update statements. So I can't blame different SPs locking object in different order. My only thought is that due to the fact it does a page lock it also locks other rows, but this should only cause normal blocking as single row update should not require multiple pages to be locked.
