Hi All,

I got 2 very simple tables, one hold few values and got a unique field to be used as identifier and the other table got a reference to that table (foreign key). At my last testing before the problem I inserted to each one of the tables about 1 million rows, for the process of inserting new information I begin a transaction, delete all the previous information, insert the new information and commit the transaction. So far it never gave me any problems (though its the first time that I let a foreign key to exist) but now from some reason it "locks" a specific row from being deleted.... for example:
If ill query: DELETE FROM table1;  it will just get stuck...
If ill try: DELETE FROM table1 WHERE table1_id=1523; it will work in most cases but for some rows it will just get stuck!
Anyone know anything about this weird problem?
By the way when I restarted the DB server I was able to delete the current row which stucked the process but then I got stuck at some other row at the table....

Thanks in advance,
Ben-Nes Yonatan
