SQL Server Alert System: 'Demo: Sev. 19 Errors' occurred on CSQWBDB1
DESCRIPTION:Error: 1204, Severity: 19, State: 1
SQL Server has run out of LOCKS. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users, or ask the system administrator to reconfigure SQL Server with more LOCKS. "
I've got an INSERT that's selecting data from a linked server and attempting to push 10 million rows into the blank table. More or less, it looks like this:
The instance of the SQL Server Database Engine cannot obtain a LOCK resource at this time. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users. Ask the database administrator to check the lock and memory configuration for this instance, or to check for long-running transactions. There are no other active users. I ran it again and monitored the following DMO to watch the growth of locks for that spid:
SELECT request_session_id, COUNT (*) num_locks -- select * FROM sys.dm_tran_locks --where request_session_id = 77 GROUP BY request_session_id ORDER BY count (*) DESC
The number of locks started small and held for a while around 4-7 locks, but at about 5 minutes in the number of locks held by that spid grew dramatically to more than 8 million before finally erroring again with the same message. Researching, I can't figure out why it's not escalating from row locks to table locks at the appropriate threshold. The threshold in was set to 0 at first (Server Properties > Advanced > Parallelism > Locks). I set it to 5000, and it still didn't seem to work. Rewriting the INSERT to include a WITH (TABLOCK) allows it to finish successfully in testing. My problem is that it's coming out of an ETL with source code that I can't edit. I need to figure out how to force it to escalate to locking the entire table via table or server level settings.
A colleague suggested that installing service packs may take care of it (the client is running SQL Server 2008 R2 (RTM)), but I haven't found anything online to support that theory.
We are migrating our database(s) from ORACLE to SQL. In Oracle we were able to issue a SELECT statement and see all of the locks (Blocking and Non-Blocking) currently in the system. The query also included the Process ID of the process we needed to kill in order to get rid of the lock.
We now need to create the same type of query for Microsoft SQL Server 2012. I have seen postings on different sites saying that this info can be obtained using SP_WHO2 or using the SQL Server Management Studio Activity Monitor's PROCESSES tab, but we are looking for a SELECT statement that will give us similar information.
Everytime I try to open the design-mode of a table from enterprise mgr, I get this error 1204.--- SQL Server has run out of LOCKS. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users, or ask the system administrator to reconfigure SQL Server with more LOCKS. There no other users but me. Locks have been configured to their max (over 200000000). Don't understand whats wrong. Please help..
We've experienced persistent hang up on our application. I tried opening the enterprise manager->management->Current Activity->Locks/Object and I've seen ridiculous entries like master.dbo.spt_values, SIS.dbo.feesclass,tempdb.dbo$##lockinfo205. I don't what this mean? does it tell us that something wrong with the application that does not release locks? please help me.
I have a simple web application using ASP.NET/C#/SQL Server 2000/Windows 2000
I'm having problems with the server "hanging" for ~15 minutes. Disk/CPU are idle so this isn't a resource issue. In Enterprise Manager, under "Current Activity" I see several processes waiting on:
LCK_M_X LCK_M_S LCK_M_S NETWORKIO
How do I investigate this? My application is so simple, I have trouble imagining how a lock-related problem could ocurr? There is absolutely no concurrent processing done on this server. There is only one user running this app and there are no separate threads spawned.
Although this problem is sporadic, this happens the most while doing the following:
- Open connection1 (for SELECT) - Open connection2 (for UPDATE) - Open SqlDataReader through connection1 with SELECT statement - Iterate through - For certain records issue UPDATE statement via connection2.
Here are some sample code snippets. Default ADO.NET options and everything should be cleaned up through C# "using" blocks without relying on garbage collection.
using (SqlConnection selectConnection = LeadsDatabase.OpenConnection()) { using (SqlConnection updateConnection = LeadsDatabase.OpenConnection()) { using (SqlCommand dbCommand = new SqlCommand(sql, selectConnection)) { using (SqlDataReader reader = dbCommand.ExecuteReader()) { while (reader.Read()) { using (SqlCommand updateCommand = new SqlCommand(sql, updateConnection)) { updateCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
Hi, i have installed sql 7.0 sp1 on a server that frecuently report the error: 1024
"SQL Server has run out of LOCKS. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users, or ask the system administrator to reconfigure SQL Server with more LOCKS.."
I reconfiguered the locks twice, but the error persist.
Situation: When I ran a query and bumped into a message that is "SQL server has run out of LOCKS. Re-run your command when there are fewer active ussers. or ask your system administratroe to reconfigyre SQL Server with more LOCKS." Then, I tried to reconfigure/increase the locks. It could not let me do it. So, I tried to relog on the server, then I kept getting the same message as above.
Questions: Is there a way to log on the server and reconfigure the locks? Do I have reinstall the SQL server?
I have to find locks which have been caused by some particular users before the scheduled jobs kick off and kill the locked processes so that the scheduled job executes without failing. How to do this in SQL server? please help
Hi All, I am frequently getting an error of Unable to acquire a LOCK at this time. Something about too many users logged in. What is the limit of LOCKS in MS SQL 2005 ? When I switch the cluster nodes, the LOCK issue goes away. The issue only occurs when someone tries a DDL command. Advice.
I have an application wrote in Power Builder 11 and use OLEDB connection for SQL SERVER 2005 DB. it works excellent till multiple users access the application. 2 seconds passes and locks appears and blocks all the DB! I realy don't know what is the reason. In past I used SQL Native driver and it works well with the same application!!! (other reasons caused me to change the connection. not this). Does someone can help me????????
I have a co-worker whose sql server 2005 is exhibiting strange behavior. We have already re-installed sql server 2005 and service packed it to SP2 to try and see if the behavior stops but it has not.
Every so often during the day sql server 2005 will start to slow down to the point that my co-worker's queries begin to time out. He turned on profiler to look at what was going on behind the scenes.
We see where sa is releasing and acquring locks to the tune of 180,000 rows in a fifteen minute span when this behavior starts so does his time outs. He has reporting options and analysis services installed but not configured. His only connection is to his local database. Occasionally, you see a number like - (03000d8f0ecc) appear in the Text Data column in profiler for sa. I read something about reporting options using sa for clean up but I don't think that is what is happening here.
Does someone have a clue as to what is happening and a way we can prevent the behavior? It is affecting his ability to work on his application.
I have a sql snippet from a 3rd party application that will not complete its transaction. The SELECT statement executes but does not finish. Instead the statement just sits in AWAITING COMMAND for 1000 seconds then dies, thus killing the UPDATE statement that is supposed to follow.
I just ran into an issue with cascading locks due to a SPID on one of my production servers. When researching the lock, I noticed that there was no sql text. SP_Who 2, nor the following query captured anything,
I spoke to the user causing the lock and he ran into a visual basic error when this occurred and didn't close out that window. So my guess is that it's due to an uncommitted transaction. However, shouldn't I still see something if that was the case?
I have read that even during read procedures (sql select statements), sql server uses row locking. I know that you can use the NOLOCK keyword, but if you don't everytime that a user makes a selects statement on a table, does sql server really lock those rows, and if so are they then unavailable to another user who wants to make a select statement at the same time on that same table? That does not seem like it would be the case otherwise it would not scale well. Thanks for any clarification on this.
I am using SQL Server7.0. I opened a table through the Enterprise Manager and left it open. In the Query Analyzer when I try to update a field on that table(more than 2000 rows), it goes on running. When I watched the Current Activity, it shows that the update process is being blocked by the select query. But if I try to update the same column for less than 1500 rows, there is no blocking issue and the update occurs immediately. Can anybody let me know why this is happening and what should I do to prevent it?
To I got the following error message. Can some one tell how to solve this issue.
Server: Msg 1204, Level 19, State 1, Procedure OPEN_OBJECTS, Line 2 SQL Server has run out of LOCKS. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users, or ask the system administrator to reconfigure SQL Server with more LOCKS.
Hi I have a big query which updates around 14000 rows at a time if i place a lock on the table and others try to update the same table is it possible to let them know that table is locked by someone else.
I have a stored proc which will be entering/updating a record into a table. The table's key is an integer field which I may have to increment by one. I know I can use
declare @nextid int set @netxid = max(id) from table insert @nextid into table Is some kind of lock the best way to approach this?
