What to do if ORA00060 comes up?

2700315Jul 16 2014 — edited Jul 16 2014

I facing the following issue while preparing for OCP

Question:

2 Users are running updates on table and a deadlock comes up.

One user receives the famous ORA000600 deadlock detected error.

What should this guy do to resolve the conflict?

I said: "Well, nothing! There is an automatic detection (and resolution!) of deadlocks - Oracle  has figured out that his lock has to be "killed". The statement was rolled back." - so what should he do?

He should wait some time, to make sure the other guy has finished and then try again.

As answer I read he must commit or rollback, otherwise the other statement could not complete.

Did I understood deadlock detection the wrong way?
