Thanks for looking at my question.
So here we go:
I have a single table for holding transactions for an inventory system.
There are 2 applications that INSERT/UPDATE records into this table in near real time (sometimes running concurrently) and flag the records as "Ready to Process"
There is 1 application that processes those "Ready to Process" records and it is primarily running UPDATES.
All applications wrap their separate interactions with the table in TRANS with COMMITS.
So everything is working or I should say trying to work on this small set of records. As such we get one or 2 timeouts a day trying to process the records an one or two Deadlocks a week.
Is there anything I can do AT THE TABLE OR DATABASE level to help handle this data orgy!! Keep in mind we are not talking about processing thousands of records in a short period/batch - more like a few hundred.
Thanks!
