Error: 832, Severity: 24, State: 1.

  • I have application written in C# and I have a piece of code written in the transaction

    where I need to insert data into four different tables and the same is acheived by invoking 4 stored procedures

    In the process the first two inserts went fine into the respective tables and also the data is inserted into the fourth table as desired. However the data is not inserted into the 3rd table and there is no error encountered. I have identity set on primary key column of the table and there are no missing records which suggests that the insert call might not have reached the table.

    When I verified the sql logs I found the following errors

    Error: 832, Severity: 24, State: 1.

    A page that should have been constant has changed (expected checksum: b9baafde, actual checksum: bbbaafde, database 32767, file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\DATA\mssqlsystemresource.mdf', page (1:2068)). This usually indicates a memory failure or other hardware or OS corruption.

    I am wondering if the above errors have anything to do with the behavior above.

    When I restarted the server everything started working as desired.

    Any help/advise will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

  • You've either got bad memory or there's a memory scribbler somewhere (kernel process or something in-process with SQL that's changing SQL's memory)

    To say this is bad is an understatement. It can cause all sorts of problems, including data corruption, SQL crashes, etc. An error of that severity will kill the connection that encountered it

    I suggest that you do some hardware diagnostics, focused on memory especially.

    Do you have any custom extended stored procedures?

    Any in-process linked server drivers?

    Any unusual kernel drivers (operating system level)?

  • Thank you for a quick reply. I donot have any custom extended stored procedures or in process linked servers.

    So do this kind of errors impact data inserts into a table inside a transaction? When I run CHECKDB on the database I got two inconsistency errors but this have no reference to the table on which the insert failed.

  • That kind of error can affect just about anything. It's saying that something is changing SQL's memory outside of its control.

    Are you the DBA? The checkDB errors aren't severe but, combined with the error 832 indicates that there are some very serious problems with that server that need to be investigated.

    I suggest that you escalate this to the senior DBA there.
