Hi All, I think Jim is using the term "deadlock" loosely. He appears to be speaking of a hang. The normal recommendation for diagnosing the cause of a hang is to take two 'systemstate' dumps from different sessions in quick succession. However, from 8.1.6 there is a 'hanganalyze' dump that can also be used, and is somewhat more useful. Be warned, however, that I've seen it crash an instance once.

The default behaviour mimicks the same anyways. hth Deepak --- James Howerton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > DBA's > > Does anyone know of an event= to set to capture a > deadlock condition? > > On two occasions now a user's session has locked up > due to a network problem or three finger salute or > who knows what(???) blocking other users from adding > records to the system.
