Msg 802, Level 17, State 20, Line 1 There is insufficient memory available in the buffer pool.

  • Hi,

    I am rebuilding the indexes for a database that's 120GB on my laptop. My laptop has windows 7 64bit, 4GB Mem and 275GB HD. I am using 64bit SQL Server 2008 Standard edition R2. Currently I am using this as test environment as I have scheduled for an index rebuild on prod. env. for tonight.

    On my laptop I am getting the following error after running the rebuild index code for 4 hrs:

    Msg 802, Level 17, State 20, Line 1

    There is insufficient memory available in the buffer pool.

    the prod server is a SAN based DL385 with 8core processor and has sql server 2008 std ed. sp1. I have increased the size of tran log to 50GB for this database and will make sure I take a tran log backup before starting this rebuild job. Any ideas on what kind of issues I might face as I am not getting a chance to test it before implementing on actual prod. environment.

    Please provide me with your guidelines. Your help is much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Just an FYI...I have the total index size as 30GB and I have increased my transaction log size to 50GB.

  • Is this error not related to not setting a max memory setting for the SQL Server?
