Deadlocking is an even more complex situation where two connections each hold locks but want to access each other's resources.

function they may be called upon to use or troubleshoot. Answering this question
also gives you the chance to explain a database issue in simple, clear terms that
even people without the same level of technical expertise can understand.

Example: “Blocking occurs when one connection is holding a lock on a resource while
a second connection wants to read or write to it. An even more complex situation
occurs when two connections each hold a lock but want to access each other’s
resource, which is referred to as deadlocking.
