• Thank you for you comment.

    I need to add 2 comments to the article:

    1) You need to setup queue monitoring !

    If things fail, your server may blow up really fast, depending on the number of logins occuring.

    msdb may grow, or the db where you defined your queues

    2) Until now, SSB did freeze on 4 of our +200 instances.

    Mostly the reason was the query on the queue received a "insufficient memory to complete the query" notification, causing the sproc to fail. Queue blew up, until disk got full !

    If was a hell of a job to analyse the root cause and to clean it up.

    I needed to beg for more ram on these very small systems, but they got fixed 😉

    In a single case, the sproc was just to slow to cope with the queue load. After the modification to using the checksum column, things are running smoothly. :w00t:
