Geoff,

I'm using tiCommitted. So, if I understand you well, multiple users
can read records, while 1 user is updating.

Many thanks for your fast reply,

Not from that user. But presumably your system will support multiple
users, in which case a deadlock can still occur when updates from
multiple users conflict.

Oh, actually it can appear. If you use Isolation=tiConsistency on
either transaction you effectively prevent updates to all records that
it reads. For this reason Isolation=tiConsistency is not recommended
unless this is exactly what you want to happen.
