Then you are probably not having a deadlock, just blocking. A deadlock
is when two processes block each other in a way so that none of them
can proceed without one of them being rolled back.

To produce a deadlock do this:

CREATE TABLE x(a int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
b int NOT NULL)
go
INSERT x (a, b) VALUES (1, 1)

And then run this from two windows in Query Analyzer:

BEGIN TRANSACTION
SELECT * FROM x WITH (HOLDLOCK)
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:05'
UPDATE x SET b = 12
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION

One of these process will become a deadlock victim.
