The SELECT statement will not request a row lock and consequently very likely has nothing to do with the deadlock. That leaves only the INSERT itself. What is the table definition of "tokens" (with indexes and constraints)? Is there concurrent database activity of any kind? What is the scope of the transaction that contains the INSERT statement - does it contain multiple INSERT statements? Other statements as well? Yours, Laurenz Albe
