Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deadlock occurs when two or more transactions are blocked and are waiting for each other to release the lock on a resource. It is a major problem in database systems and can cause system failure if not handled properly. Exclusive lock, binary lock, and two-phase lock are concepts related to locking mechanisms used to ensure data consistency but they do not directly pertain to a deadlock condition.
