I have a table that has an image data type. Whenever I try to insert data into that column (pdf files) using ADO Objects, it works OK for smaller files (upto 5 MB). Once the file gets bigger than 5900 KB, the insert returns with an error (Insufficient Memory Available). When I ran a trace on the Insert to see the exact error. Following are the trace data:

2008-03-23 19:44:04.53 spid84 WARNING: Failed to reserve contiguous memory of Size= 19398656.

Can anybody advice me with appropriate memory setting so that the code starts working. This same piece of code works fine on some other server with exact same physical configuration

search support.microsoft.com for this

Error 17803 Insufficient memory available sql server 2000

and you can find numerous causes for this. See if any match your situation.

Also, perhaps you can just add more memory to the server?

not sure but memtoleave could also be culprit.

need more information about server and sql server config to provide more advice.

Please compare the size of the row (one record in the table)and also for the limit of the datatype that has been specified to store the files.

The extents and size should be multiple of the block size of the operating system file.
