  • RE: Out of Memory Error - Help Please

    That's a client error. You've run your client machine out of memory.

    It's not a SQL Server error (and so unrelated to caching of data pages on the server)...

    My guess - very slow IO subsystem (for whatever reason). Both files have to be zeroed out entirely and that can take time. Shouldn't take 3 hours for a 300GB...

    I agree, it sounds pretty hopeless, and the customer realizes it. They're going to pay someone to try and restore the data, and more power to them.

    Tell them to start typing (to re-enter all data)

    See if you can query any of the tables (you're in emergency mode, so the DB is 'readable'). Depending on the damage...

    For when you want multiple statements to commit or rollback as atomic operations

    First step in that restore would be zeroing out the files. While the files are getting zeroed out you won't see any stats because the restore itself hasn't started, it's...

  • RE: Transaction

    Delete from tableabcd where starttime <= 2011/07/01
