FIX: Optimizer May Consume Too Much Memory if Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) is Enabled (323212)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (all editions)
This article was previously published under Q323212 BUG #: 358007 (SHILOH_BUGS) SYMPTOMS The optimizer may consume too much SQL Server memory when
Microsoft Windows 2000 Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) support is enabled.
In rare circumstances, this may cause the server to stop responding.
Additionally, the following errors may show up repeatedly in the error log
until the server is restarted, or the queries that are consuming the optimizer
memory either complete or are canceled: BPool::Map: no
remappable address found Error: 17803,
Severity 20, State 14 Insufficient memory available The SQL Server
error log may also show output similar to this:
2002-05-28 15:14:39.28 spid4 Dynamic Memory Manager: Stolen=335656 OS
Reserved=1864
OS Committed=4294860732
OS In Use=1775
Query Plan=108 Optimizer=334000
General=3051
Utilities=178 Connection=94
If this problem occurs, the output will show a large
number of buffers in use by the optimizer (greater than 200,000, or greater
than 300,000 if the /3GB switch is enabled in the Boot.ini file).
