You know, I've never tried, but I have to assume that it would involve a larger amount of data. Based on the information, I doubt you'd see a difference with...

No, I can't prove it. It's information I've inherited. I thought it was from an article by Kalen Delaney, but I can't find it. Here's a reference from Kimberly Tripp:...

Creating a unique constraint is different than creating a key field. It sounds like you're in the Index/Key creation screen. Basically if you select unique key you're making an alternate...

The links I supplied are for 2005 (it's that kind of forum), but the concepts should be the same.

I'd also look at the order of processing between the two procedures that are deadlocking. Be sure that if Proc1 is accessing the tables in the order, A, B, C,...

Damn, I didn't even get all the tape wrapped around my fists to start swinging.

Good choice. I'm facing a major redisign on a fairly substantial system to remove the uber-code...

Sure sounds like you have a foreign key constrain violation. Check the data incoming against the data in the table that the error indicates. You have to have a discrepancy...
