I have two stored procedures running in separate threads, running on SQL Server 2005. One procedure inserts new rows into a set of tables and the other procedure deletes old data from the same set of tables. These procedures are running into a deadlock on the tables DLevel and Model. Here is the schema:
Scrollbar Image http://www.barramsoft.com/pub/images/DeadLock2.jpg
Table DFile: Primary Key = DFileID
Table DLevel: Primary Key = DLevelID, Foreign Key: DFileID
Table Model: Primary Key = ModelID, Foreign Key: DFileID
Table ELement: Primary key = ElementID, Foreign Key1: DFileID, Foreign Key2: DLevelID
I have isolated the exact two SQL statements (one from each stored procedure) that are causing the deadlock. I have seen the deadlock reported by either of the procedures. I use top (1000) in both cases and both statements are executed in a loop until they complete with no rows left to delete/insert.
SQL Statement 1:
while (...)
begin
delete top (1000) from DLevel where DFileID = @fileID1
...
end
SQL Statement 2:
while (...)
begin
insert into Element (ElementID, DFileID, LevelNum, ...)
select top (1000) el.ElementID, el.DFileID, el.LevelNum, ...
from ElementLoader el with (nolock)
left outer join Element e with (nolock)
on e.ElementID = el.ElementID
where el.DFileID = @fileID2
and e.ElementID is null
order by el.ElementID
...
end
Note: The values for @fileID1 and @fileID2 are always guaranteed to be different. DLevel table has on average approx. 60 rows for a single DFileID and thus would complete deletion of all rows in a single pass.
How can I avoid a deadlock between these two SQL statements?
Edit 1: Rewritten to better clarify issue; added image; simplified SQL and removed join to DLevel table, which did not contribute to deadlock.
Edit 2:
Added XML of deadlock graph.
Deadlock now occurs on Model table. Similar delete statement and schema for Model as for DLevel table.
