Heikki,
thanks for the reply. Regarding the trace output, My test has been "bombarding" the db server with 15 simultaneous clients, each generating up to 1000 transaction sets. I still do not get any output from Innodb Monitor. I created table innodb_monitor in the database that I'm accessing. Should it be created instead in the database "mysql"?? Is there any sample that I can look at regarding avoiding deadlock, like for the semaphore rows, and the predefined order of accessing tables that you mentioned?
