Sorry Set, it seems I did express myself wrong.

I do know what situations normally produce a deadlock.

We can simulate deadlocks but in our tests these deadlocks don't write
anything into firebird.log instead they throw an exception.

On the other hand we have an existing firebird.log (from one of our
customers) with "Deadlock"-Entries. Therefore my questions are:
- are there different kind of deadlocks (some journalized in
firebird.log some not)?
- what kind of deadlock is journalized in firebird.log?
