SQL Server deadlock on disjoint sets?

You do not have a Clustered Key on your Clip table. Make the Primary Key (Id) Clustered.

Two disjoint sets can still deadlock because of hash collision, see %%LOCKRES%% Collision probability magic marker: 16,777,215.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
