Sqlservr.exe Exit Code Of 259 (0x103) - What Does It Mean?
Mar 20, 2007
Can someone please explain what exit code 259 means as it appears in the debug output below?
When running a C# Stored Procedure within the VS 2005 IDE I receive the following Debug Output:

I would also appreciate hearing back from users as to why I only have two choices in my VS 2005 IDE Output window (Build and Debug). From what I've read, 'Database' should be another choice for 'Show output from:'.
My environment consists of the following:
Database:

I have verified the SQL Server connection has 'Allow SQL/CLR Debugging' enabled.

I keep getting different answers from different people on regarding if you can or cannot kill the hosting sql server process with an unsafe assembly. Can you do this? If so could you please attach a sample demonstrating this?
Folks, I have a SSIS package that works 3 out of 4 times but it does fail occasionally with the following error.
The return value was unknown. The process exit code was 128. The step failed. I have logging enabled ..but mysteriously the log has no information on the failure..
I am running a Sql Server 2005 job and this job is having 25 steps. Each step is calling the .dtsx packae from D: drive location. While running the job i found this error
"The return value was unknown. The process exit code was 128. The step failed."
This error occurs not for any perticular step. It occurs randomally at any step.
I am running this job on 1. Windows 2003 server with SP2 2. Sql Server 2005 (Developer Edition) with SP2
Can any one please help me out resolving this issue.
I have changed a SSIS package last week. Now, I met the problem that the package sometimes failed both in SQL agent and the BIDs.
SQL agent just give the detail: Process Exit Code -1073741819. The step failed.
In BIDs,when I Check the log,there is even no error. But the last Infomation in the output windows is the package canceled. It just like somebody stop running package manually.
The more strange thing is the package sometimes succeed with running the same data.
I wish to have a batch file exit with a return code of 3 if it fails. In the batch file I have the single command: Exit 3 On SQL Server the Process Exit Code of a successful command is set to 0.
Yet, when I run the job SQL Server says that it is successful.
Can someone tell me how i can generate an exit code (Cmdexec). Ive tried running an .exe file in a job but when i do that the job hangs. When i check the history it says the exit code is somewhere in 27000. Now i'm wondering if it is possible for me to generate an exit code if the executable closes. PS. When i run the file from a batch file it works great
We have a vendor who has an SSIS package that executes a DTS package. We've asked that they migrate the DTS code completely to SSIS, but that is something that will not be done in the near future. The package is scheduled to run every 5 minutes through a SQL Server scheduled job. 95% of the time the package executes without an error, but occassionally the following error is reported.
Date 10/2/2007 7:35:00 AM Log Job History (Pyxis - Data Load)
Step ID 1 Server DEVSQL1V5 Job Name Pyxis - Data Load Step Name Run SSIS Package Duration 00:00:03 Sql Severity 0 Sql Message ID 0 Operator Emailed Operator Net sent Operator Paged Retries Attempted 0
Message Executed as user: Domain_NameSQLService. The return value was unknown. The process exit code was -1073741819. The step failed.
When I look at the DTS and SSIS package logs no errors are reported and each log indicates the package completed successfully.
Any ideas what this exit code is indicating or how to further troubleshoot the problem?
We have a Process Task component setup in a couple SSIS jobs to call a command batch file to support transfering a file via Secure FTP to other servers and the process works fine if we start the SQL Agent job manually, however when the job is started via the scheduler, it fails with an exit code of 4. Even though there is a proxy setup on the agent job, is there a different user account being invoked by the scheduler??? We're on 2005 SP1 Hotfix 1 (2153). Thanks
Some more info...have found that if we leave a login session open on the server (login is the proxy account) the process works. It appears the issue is associated with a need to render/create a command window for the command line/batch process to run in and without an active windows session it fails....would seem to be that a product setup to run on a server in a batch mode would be able to work without this...is this the case? if so, how? Thanks.
Dear list Im designing a package that uses Microsofts preplog.exe to prepare web log files to be imported into SQL Server
What Im trying to do is convert this cmd that works into an execute process task D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad>preplog ex.log > out.log the above dos cmd works 100%
However when I use the Execute Process Task I get this error [Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoadpreplog.exe" "" at "D:SSIS ProcessPrepweblogProcessLoad", The process exit code was "-1" while the expected was "0".
There are two package varaibles User::gsPreplogInput = ex.log User::gsPreplogOutput = out.log
How do I use the execute process task? I am trying to unzip the file using the freeware PZUnzip.exe and I tried to place the entire command in a batch file and specified the working directory as the location of the batch file, but the task fails with the error:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC0029151 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: In Executing "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeeklyUnzip.bat" "" at "C:ETLPOSDataIngramWeekly", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Then I tried to specify the exe directly in the Executable property and the agruments as the location of the zip file and the directory to unzip the files in, but this time it fails with the following message:
SSIS package "IngramWeeklyPOS.dtsx" starting.
Error: 0xC002F304 at Unzip download file, Execute Process Task: An error occurred with the following error message: "%1 is not a valid Win32 application".
The command in the batch file when run from the command line works perfectly and unzips the file, so there is absolutely no problem with the command, I believe it is just the set up of the variables on the execute process task editor under Process. Any input on resolving this will be much appreciated.
I am designing a utility which will keep two similar databases in sync. In other words, copying the new data from db1 to db2 and updating the old data from db1 to db2.
For this I am making use of the 'Tablediff' utility which when provided with server name, database, table info will generate .sql file which can be used to keep the target table in sync with the source table.
I am using the Execute Process Task and the process parameters I am providing are:
The customer.bat file will have the following code: tablediff -sourceserver "LV-SQL5" -sourcedatabase "TC_CTI" -sourcetable "CUSTOMER_1" -destinationserver "LV-SQL2" -destinationdatabase "TC_CTI" -destinationtable "CUSTOMER" -f "c:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1"
the .sql file will be generated at: C:SQL_bat_Filessql5TC_CTIsql_filescustomer1.
The Problem: The Execute Process Task is working fine, ie., the tables are being compared correctly and the .SQL file is being generated as desired. But the task as such is reporting faliure with the following error :
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:SQL_bat_FilesSQL5TC_CTIpackage_occurrence.bat" "" at "C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SQL Server90COM", The process exit code was "2" while the expected was "0". ]
Some of you may suggest to just set the ForceExecutionResult = Success (infact this is what I am doing now just to get the program working), but, this is not what I desire.
hello, We are having an issue with tempdb growth and even after restarting the server and the shrinkfile command the tempdb still holds on to nearly 15 GB of space. I found this article on the microsoft website which recommended that we stop SQL server and retart it from the commad prompt using the sqlservr -c -f command. After this we go to SQL Analyzer and run the shrinkfile.
I gave the sqlservr command on a friday evening in our test enviroment and I come back on monday morning and it is still not completed and i had to close the window and start SQL Server from Windows.
Is there something that i am missing here that i should know about the sqlservr command. Is there anything else that someone could recommend regarding shrinking the tempdb.
The sqlservr.exe process is using almost 800MB of memory in Task Manager. We have 1GB physical RAM. The swapfile is on C: with min=950/max=1050MB. Is this normal? I think there may be some kind of memory leak. Any ideas?? Please HELP!
Help ! My sqlservr service is running at 100% and my server is dog slow. I don see anything unusual when looking at current activity or sp_who2. I have restarted it a few times.. ANy suggestions? I only have one database in production on this server and there are only about 10 users hitting it..
Can I know somedetail about why the Sqlservr.exe app increasing in size drastically. Even I check all parameter of the server and I check the process running on server.
I feel server is not releasing the queues and It is occupying the memory. I any one suggest what could be the cause ?
I have been dealing with an intermittent problem for several months that manifests itself on my computer as well as a customers computer. It is happening so often, upon booting the computer, that I just open and then minimize the Task Manager so that it will be in the Tool Tray and the bargraph will be visible.
From time to time the processor bargraph will "Max out" and when I open Task Manager and click on CPU in the Processes Tab, SQLServr.exe is using 99% of the CPU.
In Enterprise Manager I have set maximum Memory to 25% of the available system memory. I have tried this in both Fixed mode as well as Dynamic mode, no change.
I was told that there was a SQL Server version that was susceptible to a WORM that caused this. I have since upgraded to SQL ver. 8.0.194. I'm not sure of the version that I replaced, but I thought that the previous version was the one that was susceptible to the worm.
Has anyone fought this battle and if so can you offer any experience or advice?
I have a problem with sqlservr.exe (version 2005). It use alot of memory. I check on taskbar manager sqlservr.exe usage (CPU 10 - 20%, Mem usage - 1,493,688/2GB Ram). I dont know how can I fix it. Some body could help me please.

We have an apparent File Handle leak occurring in our SQL server. Last weekend the server ran out of non-paged pool space:
Event ID 2019 -The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the pool was empty.
In the process monitor the sqlservr.exe process had Mem Usage of 503,528KB and a handle count of 3,306,263 (!). Using poolmon the highest usage of the non-paged pool was for the Muta tag, with 211,610,768 Bytes. Restarting the sql service fixes this temporarily, but already we are back to 427,000 handles for sqlservr.exe and climbing steadily at about 200,000 handles per day.
Is there a fix for this?
Cheers, Geoff

Hello All,On all of my SQL servers (2000 with SP3), when I go to task manager andlook at memory usage, sqlservr.exe is always at 1.7gigs. If I reducethe maximum to let's say 1 gig it will go down to 1 gig. But if it iseven at 2gigs or 3 gigs it will be showing 1.7 gigs. Why? Is is ok toreduce the memory usage of sqlservr.exe?Raziq.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
I've a SQL 7 SP3 server that was running for more than 6 months without any problem and hence I never give much thought to it other than the monitoring the growth of the database size.
Just the other day, I was pretty shocked to see that SQLSERVR.EXE was using nearly 1 GB of RAM (and I have 1 GB of physical RAM)!!! My database size is only about 2 GB and there aren't many simultaneous users online. This database is used for a web application.
Today I have the opportunity to restart the SQLServer service (to apply the security hotfix). And I'm pretty dismay to see its memory usage climbing steadily at the rate of around 20 to 30 KB every few seconds. I guess it'd hit 1 GB in a matter of hours or days..
Now, I've a similar server on another machine.. but its SQLSERVR.EXE is only using around 20 MB and it doesnt grow much.
So..what should I do?? Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks!!
Why does my Sqlservr.exe file take up 200 megs of my nt memory. When i control alt delete and go into task manager, sqlservr.exe is always at the top of the memory usage list.
I have developed my web application using ASP.Net with MS SQL SERVER Express Edition SP2 . I have hosting it at some where which i can remote and see the service of sqlservr.exe . The first start of this service take the memory space just only 25 MB but after this service run upto one week it increased up to 200MB .This service won't realease from the memory untill unless i restart the server or restart its service.
1.Could any one tell me why this service continue increasingly ?. 2.What can i configure in MS SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS Edition to let this release from the memory without restart the server or its service ?.
Why is the PasswordRecovery control creating another sqlservr process after I successfully enter the user name, and for a reason I have not found yet it keeps the database in a read only modem then when I answer my security question correctly it gives me the error: Failed to update database "C:INETPUBWWWROOTVER1.0.0.1APP_DATAASPNETDB.MDF" because the database is read-only. I read other post regarding the read only message and I don't if there doing the same thing, but why does this happen and what is the solution to this other not using the control?
I'm havin a problem with my database server in the network, i'm running a windows 2003 server standard edition with sql server 2005 standard edition.
the problem is that the server get stock and the performance of the whole network is affected, when i use the tak manager to monitor the performance i can see that the sqlservr.exe proccess is using 1,397,928 k of memory usage, in the performance monitor the graphics get crazy and the cpu usage grows up untill 85%.
Can you please let me know if there is something that i can do to normalize the server performance in order to let the network user work with the applications feeded by this server.
