Is is possible to find out what events are triggering a deadlock? I have found that SPID 152 was causing a deadlock on my sql server.

Is there a way to relate SPID 152 to the actual code that was running at the time, even though I was not running a trace?

Regards

Enable trace flag 1222. All deadlock information will be captured in the SQL Server's error log.

DBCC TRACEON(1222,-1)

No its not possible..

By the way how did you found that a SPID 152 caused a deadlock when you had no trace ON ?

I am running a tool called Spotlight. It captured the SPID. I am hoping that the tool captured more, but I was hoping to find the query or stored proc without having to dive into the tool too much.
