FIX: A Deadlock occurs when two transactions try to perform a DML operation on a table that contains a TABLOCK locking hint or an XLOCK locking hint
Consider the following scenario in Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5:
- You have two transactions of serializable isolation.
- Both transactions try to perform a DML operation (query/DML) on the same table that contains a TABLOCK locking hint or an XLOCK locking hint.
In this scenario, you encounter a deadlock.
This issue occurs because both transactions wait for one another for XLOCK. When the query gets compiled, both transactions obtain the shared lock on the table and then holds the lock for serializable isolation. When both transactions try to perform an execute, the query on the same table that contains an XLOCK locking hint, then both transactions wait for one another for XLOCK. Therefore, a deadlock occurs.
Note This issue also occurs when both transactions perform a DML operation on the same table that contains a TABLOCK locking hint.
