I don't see deadlocks with the following test case.
1) Create some tables and a stored procedure doing the access + increment
CREATE TABLE GENERATOR_TABLE
(
ID BIGINT NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE GENERATOR_TABLE_LOG
(
ID BIGINT NOT NULL,
ID_NEW BIGINT NOT NULL,
ID_DIFF BIGINT NOT NULL
);
ALTER TABLE GENERATOR_TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT PK_GENERATOR_TABLE PRIMARY KEY
(ID);
ALTER TABLE GENERATOR_TABLE_LOG ADD CONSTRAINT PK_GENERATOR_TABLE_LOG PRIMARY KEY
(ID);
SET TERM ^^ ;
CREATE PROCEDURE P_INCREMENT returns (
ID BigInt) AS
BEGIN
SUSPEND;
END ^^
SET TERM ; ^^
SET TERM ^^ ;
ALTER PROCEDURE P_INCREMENT returns (
ID BigInt) AS
declare i bigint;
declare id_new bigint;
begin
i = 1;
while (i <= 10000) do
begin
in autonomous transaction do
begin
select id from generator_table with lock into :id;
id_new = id + 1;
insert into generator_table_log (id, id_new, id_diff) values (:id, :id_new, :id_new - :id);
update GENERATOR_TABLE set id = :id_new where id = :id;
i = i + 1;
end
end
suspend;
end ^^
SET TERM ; ^^
COMMIT;
INSERT INTO GENERATOR_TABLE (ID) VALUES (0);
COMMIT;
The autonomous transaction stuff is used to split up the look into smaller chunks from a perspective of the other isql sessions, otherwise conccurent transactions will wait, until the entire SP is finished from the isql session.
2) Fire up e.g. 5 isql sessions and execute the following concurrently:
SET TRANSACTION READ WRITE ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED RECORD_VERSION WAIT;
EXECUTE PROCEDURE P_INCREMENT;
3) Result
SQL> select count(*), min(id_new), max(id_new) from generator_table_log;
COUNT MIN MAX
===================== ===================== =====================
50000 1 50000
No gaps, no deadlock messages, no pk/unique violation in the log table etc ...
It is crucial that accessing the central generator table is tunneled through a single access point. The SP in our case. Any chance that anything else is accessing the table in your scenario resulting in the deadlock / write update conflict?
