about the sqlserver.20081121163006.dmp file

  • Hi,

    When I running an application, it lost the response. Then I restart the sql server 2000. I discovered 3 files :sqlserver.20081121163006.dmp, another 2 same format file in

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Binn

    May I know I can delete or move to other location?

    What are they?

    Thanks,

    Patrick

    These are mini dumpfiles which can be used to analyze the reason why SQL Server crashed. If these happens more than once you should contact MS Support and have them analyze the dumps.

    You can move or remove the files without any problem if you want.

  • Not much point in contacting CSS. SQL 2000 is no longer supported. (unless your company has an extended support contract with MS that is)
