Timeout when expanding the table

  • Experts, I am hoping to get some help and feedback. I have a server with 5 instances on it. Out of 256 GB, I have allocated 36GB to this instance. This specific instance has been up and running for over a year now without issues. This instance also has 6 DBs. Yesterday I noticed when I was expanding the table, I started getting timeouts. Even when I logged into the server, I ran into the same issue. I have tried restarting the instance, rebuilding all fragmented indexes, stats are up to date for tables, yet still the same issue. It happens for all 6 DBs. Any feedback is highly appreciated.

  • Are you talking about SQL Server Management Studio? What version? Are you running it locally, or on the server?

    What are the stats for disk & network throughput & latency when this is happening vs when it isn't? Has anyone done diagnostics on the network & disks/SAN?

    Is this on a VM? If so, have VM settings changed?

  • Did you enable Instant File Initialisation for the service account ? ( on all nodes ? )

  • "Expanding the table"

    Do you mean in SSMS, in object explorer when trying to expand the table to get the columns/indexes etc

    If so what timeout did you actually get?

    Was it the usual lock time out?

    Can you post a screenshot of the timeout errors you're receiving?
