Server error Msg 208 for a stored procedure

  •  Hi

     

    I have a stored procedure that has run fine for a while, suddenly it has an error once a while. The error is: (This error will cause the front end time out.)

     

    Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Procedure Test9_imp_rpt_revenue_detail_summary, Line 22

    Invalid object name '#officecode1'.

     

    The stored procedure creates a lot of the temp tables, and this temp table is the first one. From the SQL trace, we know it has recompiled the SP prior to the error message.

     

    The SP looks like:

     

    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF

    GO

    SET ANSI_NULLS OFF

    GO

     

    ALTER      PROCEDURE  revenue_detail_summary

    @office_id INT,

    @date_from SMALLDATETIME,

    @date_to SMALLDATETIME,

    @criteria TINYINT = 0,

    @shipments TINYINT = 0,

    @index TINYINT = 0

    AS

     

    SET NOCOUNT ON

    CREATE TABLE #officecode1

        (

           officeid    int

         , officecode  char(3)

         , officename  varchar(50)

        )

     

    INSERT INTO #officecode1

        SELECT office_id,

               office_code,

               office_name

        FROM A_SYSTEM_OFFICES

        WHERE (@office_id & office_id > 0)

     

     

    create table #mawb_id_final

                (

             office_code char(3)

                 ,mawb_id  uniqueidentifier

                 ,mawb_no char(13)

                )

    ……

    .......

     

      

    Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

     

    Thanks

  • A large procedure is memory intensive; lots of temp tables means lots of memory allocation; Intermittent errors caused by reused memory area, like partitioning between functions. Something gets dropped, usually first in means first out...

    #officecode1 is created & then not found

    What server? System? memory restrictions?

    Split procedure into smaller procedures or UDF's. Use global temp tables when needed.

    Also, why (alter) instead of (drop & create)?
