Mysql更新text容易死锁_在MySQL中使用SELECT ... FOR UPDATE进行死锁

Let's say I have the table:

CREATE TABLE t (id INTEGER AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL, desc TEXT NOT NULL)

I populate the table with 1 element:

INSERT INTO TABLE t VALUES (1, 'Hello')

And I run two transactions in MySQL. In t1 I run:

START TRANSACTION;

SELECT * FROM t WHERE id = 1 FOR UPDATE;

In t2 I run:

START TRANSACTION;

SELECT * FROM t WHERE id = 1 FOR UPDATE;

At this point I expect t1 to hold an e(X)clusive lock on the row, and t2 to wait until it can get an X lock (and t2 gets indeed blocked, so far so good). I then run an update in t1 (without any WHERE clause!):

UPDATE t SET desc = 'Hello from t1';

At this point in t2 I get immediately (no need to COMMIT the transaction) the error:

ERROR 1213 (40001): Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction

Why am I getting this error? I guess there is a lock that t2 is obtaining that the full UPDATE needs to proceed, making a deadlock, but I don't understand how can t2 obtain a lock given that it should be waiting for t1 to finish.

解决方案

What works and what does not

A way to make both transactions run through without a deadlock is to change the isolation level to READ COMMITED (or READ UNCOMMITED) in both connections:

SET SESSION TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED;

(before start transaction).

Likely it would be enough to set it in t2, but just to be sure for the example, set it in both.

Changing the isolation level of transactions does introduce some side-effects, which one should inform about in the manual before changing this in a production environment.

Explanation

As a_horse_with_no_name mentioned, this seems like a bug in MySQL. Transaction (2) holds and waits for the same lock, which makes no sense.
