DB2 MIGHT ENCOUNTER 'DEADLOCK' ERROR WHEN PERFORMING TWO DROP TABLE STATEMENTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
When concurrently perform two DROP TABLE statements on different tables but with similar namings, the two statements may lead to various kinds of deadlocks: -- deadlock among the catalog tables, SYSIBM.SYSVIEWDEP and SYSIBM.SYSTABAUTH -- deadlock among the catalog tables, SYSIBM.SYSVIEWS and SYSIBM.SYSVIEWS The problem is more likely to happen if the tables being dropped have dependent views and other objects (e.g. index or trigger) defined on it. 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 ============================================= | |
