How does this Error Message Looks like
1213 – General error: Deadlock found when trying to get lock; Try restarting transaction
Reason for the Error & Solution
A deadlock occured during a datastore transaction. This can occur when transaction TRANS1 locks table TABLE1, transaction TRANS2 locks table TABLE2, TRANS1 lines up to get a lock on TABLE2, and then TRANS2 lines up to get a lock on TABLE1. Deadlock prevention is the responsibility of the application, or the application server in which it runs. For more details, see the MySQL deadlock documentation.
