CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

We are developing a custom front-end which will allow teachers to view and edit a much wider range of information about their current and former students than the current version. In the screenshot below there is an Employer field; on change, this issues a Contact.create call to update current_employer, which automatically creates a new organisation if it doesn't already exist. Sometimes the query that creates the new organisation deadlocks against a query that updates the display_name and sort_name of the student. I've included some information below, and I would appreciate any advice you can offer. Is this a bug?
