The DeadLock in a database system is a very common thing and all Database Administrator responsible to detect and manage a DeadLock situation.
In this post, I am sharing one small demonstration t to generate a DeadLock situation in a PostgreSQL.
Database Theory: What is Timeout, Lock, Block, and Deadlock in a Database System?
Most of the time, We are facing DeadLock problem in our Production Database Server.
But What happen, when Database Administrator wants to generate DeadLock situation and wants to create a script for detecting a DeadLock.
First create two sample tables:
|
1 2 |
CREATE TABLE ABC (ID INT PRIMARY KEY); CREATE TABLE XYZ (ID INT PRIMARY KEY); |
Open Session – 1 and execute below code:
|
1 2 |
BEGIN; INSERT INTO ABC VALUES (1); |
Open Session – 2 and execute below code:
|
1 2 3 |
BEGIN; INSERT INTO XYZ VALUES (1); INSERT INTO ABC VALUES (1); |
Again open Session – 1 and execute below Insert Statement:
|
1 |
INSERT INTO XYZ VALUES (1); |
You will get a below deadlock message:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
ERROR: deadlock detected DETAIL: Process 5944 waits for ShareLock on transaction 892; blocked by process 4884. Process 4884 waits for ShareLock on transaction 891; blocked by process 5944. HINT: See server log for query details. CONTEXT: while inserting index tuple (0,2) in relation "xyz_pkey" |
