This is a followup question to this topic.

I am now encountering a situation where I get deadlocks on the
inserts, which I handle by commiting the transaction, starting a
new transaction and retrying the insert that returned a deadlock.

But, I am also seeing a deadlock error on the COMMIT that I run after
an insert failed, why would this happen? The only thing I can think
to do at this point is to ROLLBACK the transaction, start a new
transaction, go back to the beginning of the process and try again.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

stan
