product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
Deadlocks on system catalog may occur when concurrently perform two DROP TABLE statements on two different tables with similar namings and dependent views defined on them. To identify the problem, you need to use DB2 event monitor to collect detailed information for deadlocks. When the deadlock error occurs, in the event monitor output you will see the following entries: ============================================= Table of lock waited on : SYSVIEWDEP Schema of lock waited on : SYSIBM Type of lock: Row Mode of lock: X - Exclusive Mode application requested on lock: S - Share Text : drop table NEWTON.T1 Table of lock waited on : SYSTABAUTH Schema of lock waited on : SYSIBM Type of lock: Row Mode of lock: U - Update Mode application requested on lock: X - Exclusive Text : drop table NEWTON.T2 ============================================= or ============================================= Table of lock waited on : SYSVIEWS Schema of lock waited on : SYSIBM Type of lock: Row Mode of lock: U - Update Mode application requested on lock: U - Update Text : drop table NEWTON.T1 Table of lock waited on : SYSVIEWS Schema of lock waited on : SYSIBM Type of lock: Row Mode of lock: X - Exclusive Mode application requested on lock: U - Update Text : drop table NEWTON.T2 ============================================= or ============================================= Table of lock waited on : SYSVIEWS Schema of lock waited on : SYSIBM Type of lock: Row Mode of lock: U - Update Mode application requested on lock: X - Exclusive Text : drop table NEWTON.T1 Table of lock waited on : SYSVIEWS Schema of lock waited on : SYSIBM Type of lock: Row Mode of lock: U - Update Mode application requested on lock: U - Update Text : drop table NEWTON.T2 ============================================= or ============================================= Table of lock waited on : SYSTABAUTH Schema of lock waited on : SYSIBM Type of lock: Row Mode of lock: U - Update Mode application requested on lock: U - Update Text : drop table NEWTON.T1 Table of lock waited on : SYSTABAUTH Schema of lock waited on : SYSIBM Type of lock: Row Mode of lock: X - Exclusive Mode application requested on lock: U - Update Text : drop table NEWTON.T2 ============================================= | |
