The short answer is "it's whichever one detected the deadlock." The deadlock timeout fires after a lock has been held that long and if a deadlock is detected then the process detecting it will be canceled. I'd strongly recommend reviewing your application and addressing deadlocks by changing how the application acquires locks to be consistent and to avoid lock escalation instead of worrying about how to predict a deadlock- a properly designed and written application shouldn't be causing deadlocks to happen in the first place. Thanks! Stephen
