Feb 13, 2012 at 16:45 comment added Martin Smith @ErikE - The conversion deadlock in Alex's article is converting from IX to X on the heap itself. Interestingly no rows qualify so no row locks ever get taken out. Not sure why it takes the X lock at all.
Feb 13, 2012 at 5:31 comment added ErikE Bizarre, @alex. I imagine it has to do with a race condition of the engine trying to find what to lock before actually UPDLOCKing it...
Feb 13, 2012 at 2:05 comment added A-K +1 but: for heap tables you can still get a conversion deadlock even with update locks: sqlblog.com/blogs/alexander_kuznetsov/archive/2009/03/11/…
