I saw your message yesterday and did not answer because it confused me.
It still does. Firebird/InterBase automatically detect and report deadlocks,
so it's unlikely that the deadlock is at the database level. What exactly
do you mean by "a table deadlock on dataset"? What error - or failure - are
you getting?
