Thanks for your response
> Does any of the two tables have triggers?
Yes the ticket table has a trigger that inserts changes into a ticketstatuslog
table when the ticket.status column changes and on insert.
ticket_status_insert_trigger AFTER INSERT ON ticket FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE
PROCEDURE ticket_status_trigger_function()
ticket_status_update_trigger AFTER UPDATE OF ticketstatus ON ticket FOR
EACH ROW WHEN (old.ticketstatus <> new.ticketstatus) EXECUTE PROCEDURE
ticket_status_trigger_function()

Both read committed

Yes they will both have many reads and writes before running the deadlocking
query.
