We are seeing the errors described in this knowledge base item:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;282229

More specifically, stuff like:

2000-11-27 11:22:59.87 server SQL Server could not spawn process_loginread thread.
2000-11-27 11:55:06.09 spid431 WARNING: Failed to reserve contiguous memory of Size= 65536.

The knowledge base indicates that this is an issue with the sp_OA stored procedures, and that it is fixed in Sql Server Service Pack 1. However, we have Service Pack 3 installed and are still seeing it.

I'd like to know:

1) what's going on, and how do I fix it? Other than this KB item, MS is sparse on details

2) how can I monitor my sp_OA* stored procedures, so I can determine what applications are calling them?

Thanks,
Monsur

Hi!

You can monitor what application calls the procedures by using SQL Profiler and setting up a trace.

I think it's just saying that it has run out of memory which could be due to anything.
Theres another one at 299466 also fixed in sp1.

Do you use a lot of sp_oa sps?
Might be worth whiile setting up a system to loop through a call and see if it crashes.

Other than that monitor your memory usage.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
