Low Virtual Memory Shutdown
Jul 6, 2006
hi,
for the last six months or so my pc has been shutting down all applications for no apparent reason when a 'low virtual memory' bubble appears. I have removed dozens of items, such as games, image editos; all programmes that require a lot of memory but it is no good. Every 40mins or so the pc decides to shut everything down and where it is impossible to start any further applications, unless I log off and on or shut down the pc myself. I really am fed up with this, its so annoying. Is it because of a virus or do I still have too much on my pc?

I have a SSIS package that is constantly running out of virtual memory, right now I am on a development server, running only this package. The package is moving data from one table into another on the same server in the same database. The server has 3 Gb of memory and is only running SS2005 and SSIS. I am a local admin on the server and running the package through BIDS, once again for our initial testing. I tried setting the property BufferTempStoragePath to our E drive so it can utilize the 100 Gb of free space we have but that doesn't seem to work either. I have also tried setting the MaxRowSize to many different values to no avail. I am constantly getting an error, see below for exact error, when it gets through roughly half the load. Moreover it reports this error about 500 times in the progress report if I let the package run to completion. Finally, when all is said and done the package has moved the data successfully but the package always shows as failing.
I have googled continuously on this problem but have not found a resolution. I did see on a post here where it was recommended to run the package out of process, however I don't see the benefit at this point when this is the only package I am running. I also don't understand why it would report the error so many times and fail the package when it is completing successfully? Source and Destination have the same number of records at the end of the task. Could someone please try to make sense of this.
Getting Error:
[DTS.Pipeline] Information: The buffer manager detected that the system was low on virtual memory, but was unable to swap out any buffers. 4 buffers were considered and 4 were locked. Either not enough memory is available to the pipeline because not enough is installed, other processes are using it, or too many buffers are locked
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to undertstand how does sql 2005 decide how to use the memory.
Does it use RAM first than the virtual memory or does it decide what to use conditionaly?
Anybody have an idea? Like if the table is really big does it put half
of the table to RAM and the other half to virtual memory ?

We have a Server that is set to use 80mb of a 128mb machine. The machine is also set to use up to 300mb of Virtual memory as needed.
After running for 10 days, we got the message "Low on Virtual memory". We did some looking and found SQLServer was using 300mb between real and virtual memory.
So the question: Is there a manual method to get SQLServer to release extra memory with out stopping and restarting the service?

I have two instances of SQL Server running on my Development machine.I am having some performance problems and while investigating theproblem I saw with the Process Explorer form Sysinternals that bothinstances consume each 800 Mbytes of memory!I experimented with sp_configure and by giving both instances a fixedmemory size. Both methods do not seem to have any effect.Can anybody explain me why SQL Server is using so much memory?Thanks for any information.Evert WiesenekkerPSBesides the northwind database I only have one simple extra database(70 Mb in size) installed.

Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way to solve a virtual memory error? We randomly get the following error when trying to run sycn over the http websync. Some clients have 512 MB running sql express, others are full instances that have 1.5 GB.
The merge process could not allocate memory for an operation; your system may be running low on virtual memory. Restart the Merge Agent.

Hi,We have a prod server running on SQL server 2000 64 bit. It is a4cpu server with 16GB of RAM. we have a maxmemory setting of 15.5GBfor sql server. Inspite of 15GB being available for sql server, itstill uses paging file space, a lot. When looking thru task maanger wecan see sql server using 15.5GB of Memory usage and 22GB of Virtualmemory usage. I don't understand why it should even be using closer to7GB of Paging space, when it has so much memory. How does SQl serveruse Virtual memeory vs Physical memory?HAs anyone seen this before.ThanksGG

Local SQL 6.5 SP4 on a Windows NT SP4 workstation (Pentium 350 / 128 MB).
SQL server has 32 MB of RAM. It starts well but begins continuously eating up virtual memory by 16k blocks in a second,
until it takes all virtual memory.
Server's shutdown generate following error in Event log System section:
Event ID: 7011
Source: Service Control Manager
Description: Timeout (120000 milliseconds) waiting for transaction response
When I start Server from command prompt with -f switch, it did not eat virtual memory,
and did not generate any error in Event log at shutdown.
Many thanks for any help.

Hey,
I have a large set of data that I need to match against another large set of data. The reference table has 9.8mill rows and my input has 14.6mill rows. I started with a new project. I added my connection, then a task to clear the result table, then my data flow, then my OLE source, then my Fuzzy Lookup task, then my SQL Server Destination. I set the connection of my OLE source and set the query to pull the data. Then I set the connection of my Fuzzy Lookup task, set the reference table and told it to create a new index (the problem also occurs if I use a generated index) and then set up the matching criteria. Then I set the connection and destination for the SQL Server Destination.
After setting all this up, I hit Run. The thing ran great until ~ 800k rows and then it failed. I ran it several times and it always failed right around 800k with a message saying there was not enough space and then an error with buffers being passed to the Fuzzy Lookup component. I opened Task Manager and watched the resources as it ran and was amazed at what I saw. The Fuzzy Lookup component eats up every bit of Virtual Memory available and when it can't take any more, it errors out. I tried setting the Max Memory setting on the component and it seems to have no effect. I also played with the buffer settings on the data flow task to no avail. I even went as far as to put an identity on my input table and create a function that outputs selects that use a between on the identity to break the data into 600k chunks. I set up a ForEach component and DTS variables, but the Fuzzy Lookup component does not free the VM after the iteration of the ForEach component!
I ended up running each chunk of 600k one at a time. I have to automate this for the future, so I need a solution. Does anyone have an idea for me?

I have my suspicions, but I need some proof ...
Is restarting a Windows OS box without first stopping the MSSQL service comparable to a shutdown with nowait command? I know that MSSQL will recover, but wouldn't it recover more nicely if it was shutdown on its own terms prior to the box shutting down? OR. Since it's a Windows service does the OS *know* to stop the service gently, allow the engineto place checkpoints on every db and then shut down the OS?
I've googled plenty and cannot find an exact answer. Lots say it's fine to do - doesn't mean it's right ;)
Thanks!

I have an SSIS package that looks for the existence of a file (using Konesans file watcher) on the network to begin processing. I am trying to find a way to terminate/shutdown the entire process if that file is not out there by say 7:30 AM. I think I could set a timeout on the filewatcher task, but was hoping there was another tool I could use. (If the process had to be restarted late a timeout would still countdown the same period wouldn't it? We'd still need the job to stop by 7:30.)
More background. The package, once deployed, will be called from a command line script that is started by a scheduled task normally, or manually in the event of late availability.
Thanks,
Rog

I am just trying to find a good article on the process SQL goes through when shutting down and starting up, so far I have not found anything definitive on Google. I am assuming a checkpoint is invoked and committed transactions are written to disk, while uncommitted are rolled back, but I would like an official textual description of what happens.

I want to install SP2 for SQL 2012, but I am not sure how my instance would be affected.
I want to know if the instance will go down for any amount of time during the update? I can schedule a server reboot after hours, but don't want to apply the service pack if it will take the instance offline at any point.

Currently i am using SQL server 2005. Since the begining i am facing sqlserver service shutdown problem. Normally it happens in every 2-3 days and sometimes happens twice a day. It halts all the banking operation. After starting MSSQL SERVER service, the system goes online.
Following is the error message recorded in the event viewer.
---------------
SQL Server is terminating because of fatal exception c0000005. This error may be caused by an unhandled Win32 or C++ exception, or by an access violation encountered during exception handling. Check the SQL error log for any related stack dumps or messages. This exception forces SQL Server to shutdown. To recover from this error, restart the server (unless SQLAgent is configured to auto restart).
---------------
Please tell me what steps i should take to resolve it.
Thanks

I have a problem with an instance of SQL Server that refuses torespond to a shutdown request. I've managed to shutdown the SQLManager and DTC services but the sqlservr.exe process is permanentlyin a "Stopping" state.I cannot logon to the instance to issue a SHUTDOWN WITH NOWAITcommand. Short of rebooting the entire server, is there a way I canforce the process to end?Tony

While working on my Visual C# 2005 Express programs, I will sometimes open SQL 2005 Express to look at the database. Then I will disconnect the database and exit the SQL Server Management Studio Express.
Then when I run my Visual C# 2005 program the next time, I will always get this error message.
"Cannot open user default database. Login failed...."
Here is a copy of my connection string
string cs = "Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDBFilename=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\hdcTemperatureCableReadings.mdf; Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True";
string strSelect = "Select * from CableReading";
SqlConnection tcrConn = new SqlConnection(cs);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select * from CableReading", tcrConn);
tcrConn.Open();
The error is being generated when "tcrConn.Open()" is being executed. This is line 27 of my program.
My question is: Am I shutting SQL 2005 Express down wrong when I go in and look at the database. The SQL 2005 Express is located on the same computer that I am writing my program on.
I copied the error message to the clipboard and copied into this thread.

SQL Server 2005 X64 Standard running on Windows Server 2003 X64 Htper Threaded Quad processors with 16 GB RAM.
I have had two production servers shut down this week due to Error 3449: SQL Server must shut down in order to recover a database (database ID 1). The database is either a user database that could not be shut down or a system database. Restart SQL Server. If the database fails to recover after another startup, repair or restore the database.
Previous to the shutdown I received multiple Error 3314 & 602: Could not find an entry for table or index with partition ID 491897996509184 in database 2. This error can occur if a stored procedure references a dropped table, or metadata is corrupted. Drop and re-create the stored procedure, or execute DBCC CHECKDB.
Also, Error 9001: During undoing of a logged operation in database 'msdb', an error occurred at log record ID (838:208:1). Typically, the specific failure is logged previously as an error in the Windows Event Log service. Restore the database or file from a backup, or repair the database.
Does anyone have an idea why I have begun receiving these error messages? I have run dbcc checkdb on Master and msdb and they do not show any problems.

Hello:I am doing this small experiment on SQL Injection, and appearantly, I was asked to do the shutdown thing, which I have read about, but don't have a single idea how how to start.Well, basically, I am still confused about a few things:1. Do I need to create a stored procedure first, before I start hacking (shutting down the SQL Server)? Or can I just use a normal User Table?2. I understand that the clause "shutdown with nowait" only allows the sysadmin and serveradmin to do so, so is there anyway a hacker makes himself a sysadmin or serveradmin?3. And I read that only with the login user: "sa", you can perform that action. But in my company, its sql login is not "sa", it's something else, so can I do anything about it?Well, that's all for now. So, actually, I have a project that first requires the user to login and must provide password. (Since I am doing experiment on SQL Injection, thus, it is vunerable). It connects to the sql server to match if the user name entered exists on the table.I hope this information is enough to help anyone to help me hahahahaha.... crossed my finger, though.Thanks in advance.

I have SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition with a number of in-memory tables sitting in my database.When server is restarted it takes many hours to recover my database if there was data in these in-memory tables before shutdown.As a result, I need to clean up in-memory tables every time before server instance shutdown. This is really annoying and requires extra prescriptive actions for support team. Can I have DDL server/database level trigger to catch shutdown event and clean my data before instance goes down?
