Unindexed FK Cause Deadlock or Only Share Lock? 2005-06-30 - By Post, Ethan
Forgot to add, does the cardinality of the column matter, what if the only possible values are "Y" and "N", what if 99.9% of the rows are all "Y"? Does the index still prevent a deadlock?
What are the internals on this, anyone know?

Yes, unindexed FKs can absolutely cause deadlocks. I recently had a problem with this happening frequently for an application called Khameleon. After adding FK indexes, the deadlocks vanished.
