Deadlocks
Deadlocks are a type of software issue that occurs when processes within the same process or across multiple processes compete for resources in a way that leads to circular dependencies. Operating systems should be aware of deadlocks as they consume resources and reduce overall system performance. Many operating systems utilize process scheduling and resource allocation algorithms to detect and prevent deadlocks.
When a process is a deadlock, it cannot proceed until it has acquired the resource it requires. For instance, if process P1 is holding tape drive R1 and is waiting for process P2 to release the same drive then it is in deadlock. If one process releases the resource it is holding it will then take it and enter a deadlock, too.
There are many ways of solving deadlocks or preventing them. The most common method is to employ an algorithm to detect deadlocks. This algorithm identifies the deadlock by checking for cycles in the resource allocation graph. The Banker's Algorithm analyzes the state of a process by looking at the current resources.
A lock with mutual exclusion is a different way to avoid a deadlock. This kind of lock is used to ensure that a process is able to only access its own resources, not the resources of other processes. This is a great method to prevent deadlocks from being used, and also allows for a higher level security of your van's contents and goods. Escape deadlocks may also be installed on the interior of a door to allow an easy exit in the event of an emergency. These are commonly used on communal doors in multiple occupancy properties such as flats and student housing.

These locks operate with a high-security external key that is under the full control of the driver, making them suitable for owner-drivers and other operations where the driver may need to be in and out of the loading area during the daytime.

The lock type that is to be used in the statement block. Unless otherwise specified the shared lock is the default.
The lockobject expression must evaluate to an object variable that is only belonging to the current instance of your class or a private variable that is not related to any instances of your class. If the value for the lockobject is null then the LOCK statement will fail and the program will end with an error message during runtime.
If a transaction is able to acquire an intent lock (I) on the table, it will block other transactions from acquiring a WRITE or Shared Row LOCK on that table if the transaction has the intent lock. This is because the intent lock does not allow other transactions to change the data in that table.
