A severe error occurred on the current command

  • I have a client application written in .Net that is hitting a SQL 2000 database.  I am getting the following error message from a SqlException, but it is occuring sporadically. 

    A severe error occurred on the current command

    What is even more confusing is that I can not consistently reproduce the error on different servers.  It appears that servers running Win XP or Windows Server 2003 are more likely to fail while servers running Windows 2000 do not seem to generate this error. 

     

    Any help would be appreciated

     

  • What is the command?  If you can't provide a bit more detail than that, it's a pretty slim chance that anyone can help...

  • Slim is an understatment here...

    waiting for query and calling code before trying to solve this one.

  • Is there anything in the SQL server error log ? Are there any *.DMP files on the SQL Server ? Do the event logs have any entries that correspond to the time of the error ? This and other information is definitely needed.

  • I think you have to apply the latest SQL Server Service Pack (SP4) though the problem was fixed even earlier.
