Is this information in the Dump file critical???

  • I have noticed in the below dump file in the error log. But it is happened 3 weeks ago and I did not notice at that time.

    What this information means?

    is there any memory or any other problems exist?

    how can I diagnose this?

    and I'm getting the below message while weekly DBCC CHECKDB is running(I have noticed in the error log). What this message means?

  • Looks like a memory leak or problem. Just to be sure, download and patch your MS-SQL instance if possible You can also check the memory usage and processes via Performance Monitor and SQL console.

  • download and patch your MS-SQL instance

    what should I download and patch the SQL Instance? Could you please explain me...

    We have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition with SP3.

    Thanks

    because sometimes, depending of your SQL version, a bug could be the reason for your error. It seems you're fine with SP3 but take a look on Microsoft site and see most recent hotfixes. If your instance is patched, check for memory leaks.

  • Iam trying to setup performce counters from perfmon. When add the counters, it not showing the counters but some numbers.

    I checked the event viewer and found below error. How can I rectify this and setup Perfmon counters and to is there any memory leak?

    Event Type:Error

    Event Source:Perflib

    Event Category:None

    Event ID:1008

    Date:6/11/2009

    Time:7:10:12 PM

    User:N/A

    Computer:SQL1

    Description:

    The Open Procedure for service "MSSQLSERVER" in DLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\sqlctr90.dll" failed. Performance data for this service will not be available. The Status code returned is the first DWORD in the attached data.

    is there ant other way to know the memory leak?

  • How's your memory allocation? how much RAM you're using on your server and how much SQL is requesting?

    Look at the following counters:

    Process: Private Bytes - SQL Server - all committed memory for both "areas"

    Process: Working Set - SQL Server - committed memory that is mapped to physical RAM

    SQL Server Memory Manager: Total Server Memory - size of the bufferpool

    This is a good article too : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc966540.aspx
