Re: UPDATE fails- deadlock? -- simultaneous access to DB

Are you sure it's deadlocks (e.g. do they appear in alert.log)?

If it's just locks:
Check that you're not updating PK, that locks the whole table. Check if you're deleting from a table that has PK, that whatever references that PK has an index.
