Laravel - Getting Started - Handling Deadlocks

The transaction method accepts an optional second argument which defines the number of times a transaction should be retried when a deadlock occurs. Once these attempts have been exhausted, an exception will be thrown:

    
    use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
    
    DB::transaction(function () {
        DB::update('update users set votes = 1');
    
        DB::delete('delete from posts');
    }, 5);
