Dump file

  • Hi,

    We are using SQL Server 2005 devloper edition 32 bit with SP3 on Widows 2003 standard edition 32 bit with SP2. Memory 2GB

    Iam going through the error log, and I find the below dump file. What exactly this dump file error referring to?

    2009-04-19 08:09:22.84 Server Using 'dbghelp.dll' version '4.0.5'

    External dump process returned no errors.

    2009-04-19 08:09:36.01 Server Resource Monitor (0x9dc) Worker 0x03B0E0E8 appears to be non-yielding on Node 0. Memory freed: 2072 KB. Approx CPU Used: kernel 15 ms, user 0 ms, Interval: 60266.

  • In short, SQL Server monitoring is sending out an alert about a process consuming a large amount of memory... check here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;959004&sd=rss&spid=2855

    Interesting enough the very act of sending out the alert is somehow considered a buggy behavior.
