How to Handle Deadlocks in SQL Server?

 

Deadlocks occur when two or more sessions permanently block each other. To handle and prevent deadlocks:

  1. Identify Deadlocks:

    • Use the SQL Server error log or Extended Events to capture deadlock information.
    • Enable trace flags 1204 and 1222 for detailed deadlock information.
  2. Deadlock Prevention:

    • Ensure consistent access order for resources in your transactions.
    • Keep transactions short and minimize lock duration.
    • Use lower isolation levels if appropriate (e.g., READ COMMITTED instead of SERIALIZABLE).
  3. Retry Logic:

    • Implement retry logic in your application to handle deadlock exceptions gracefully.
    • Use TRY...CATCH in T-SQL to handle deadlock errors.
