I have a situation where an increase in volume of inserts into the main transaction table causes a huge slowdown. The table has lots of indexes and foreign keys and a trigger. Clearly, something is causing a resource contention issue, but here's my main question: I have log_lock_waits = on and deadlock_timeout = 250ms. Is there any way I could have delays of tens of seconds caused by a write conflict in a table accessed by a trigger that would not result in the wait being logged? Thanks!
