| One of my system is using SQL 2008 as db and vb6 as a front end. It is running more then 4 years without any problem. From last week we are getting an error "Query timeout expired". We have checked the network speed and speed is okay. If we restart the sql service problem solved. But come again. What might be cause and what can I do? |

| There is a default query timeout for queries coming from VB6 - it is 30 seconds if I am not mistaken. It could be that your queries were successfully completing under 30 seconds up until recently. Something must have triggered it to go over 30 seconds.Are you doing regular maintainance on your database - i.e., statistics updates and index rebuilds/reorganizations? If you are not (or even if you are), check if you need stats update or index degragmenting.Has there been more activity on the database recently compared to the past four years? If so that could have tipped the time required beyond the query timeout period. |
