    Hi All,

    In my production server , SQL Error log file size is growing by creating mdmp (memory dum files in c drive ).

    How i can stop them.

    Can you check in the SQL Error logs what is causing these memory dumps? Also check the Windows Event logs. I expect some severe error messages just before the dumps are created.

    Figure out what problems are causing the stack dumps that generate the files. Fix whatever the root cause is.

    To be honest, the priority shouldn't be stopping the file generation, it should be fixing whatever critical problem is causing SQL to stack dump in the first place.
