In an application I'm developing, I got the following error message from the Messenger Service:

SQL Server Alert System: 'Demo: Sev. 19 Errors' occured on \\PHARMDATA

DATETIME: etc.

DESCRIPTION: Error 0, Severity: 19, State: 0
SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 7 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.

COMMENT: (None)

JOB RUN: (None)


According to BOL, all Sev 19 errors should be reported to the DBA (me), however I'm not sure what to do with this. The system was running a complex SPROC at the time with several pulls from a linked Oracle server.

Any ideas?

You have gotten an access violation.

You should call Microsoft Product Support Services. I know, you are saying "I don't want to pay $245 to fix this" but wait! 99.9% of access violations are bugs in the product. The only time an AV is not considerted a bug is if you are doing something which is not supported, such as modifying system tables etc...

Anyway, Microsoft does not charge for support if the inncident is the result of a bug.

OK, if it happens again, I will call. We've got some sort of premier support contract so it doesn't come directly out of my pocket.

If you still have the errorlogs (Actually there should be a dump file in your Log directory) I wouldn't wait for it to happen again. Especially since you have a Premier contract, your company is paying for the incidents anyway, you might as well use them. Besides, like I said, your account won't be decremented because it is most likely a bug.
