PostgreSQL 40P01

DEADLOCK DETECTED - error indicating a deadlock has occurred between two or more transactions, causing them to wait for each other to finish before continuing.

How It Affects Your App

PostgreSQL 40P01 DEADLOCK DETECTED can have a significant impact on an application. It indicates that two or more transactions have attempted to access the same data at the same time, resulting in a deadlock. This can cause the application to become unresponsive or even crash. It can also lead to data corruption or data loss, as the transactions may not be able to complete. As a result, it is important to ensure that the application is designed to handle such errors and that the database is properly configured to prevent deadlocks.
