Ran out of LOCKS. What is this???

  • Can anyone tell me what the following error message means?

    Error string:  SQL Server has run out of LOCKS. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users, or ask the system administrator to reconfigure ...  Process Exit Code 1.  The step failed.

  • What did you try to do when you received this error? What is your locks Option setting? You can get it from sp_configure.

  • This message is part of the job history (scheduled job failed). 

    This is what I get from sp_configure...

    name     min        max                  config_value      run_value

    locks     5000      2147483647        0                     0

  • How much memory the server has? Do any other applications run in same server? How is memory be configuered in SQL Server? It looks like you have some memory shortage issue. Run performance monitor to collect memory counters to see how much memory left and how heavy the paging is when this error occurs if you can reproduce the problem.
