Distributed nature of transactions arising at different sites and needing resources from
diverse locations pose various operational problems, such as deadlocks, concurrency and data
recovery. A deadlock may occur when a transaction enters into wait state that request resource from
other blocked transactions. Deadlock detection and resolving is very difficult in a distributed
database system because no controller has complete and current information about the system and
data dependencies. In this paper, an enhanced technique for deadlock resolution is presented, which
minimizes the abortion or waiting of the selected victim transactions
