Every now and then, I'll get the following message on my screen when running something large in SSMS: An error occurred while executing batch. Error message is: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.
The issue is, that once this error gets thrown, there seems to be no respite other than a reboot of the machine. I understand that this is an issue with memory on my machine and that this doesn't affect the server at all; however, rebooting in the middle of the day for a dev is never pleasant.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Since I came up with the original "Comment" answer... Here it is.
Closing SSMS should terminate the transaction and free up memory.
Glad this worked out for you.
I encountered this today when trying to get an execution plan for a troublesome query then SSMS became completely non responsive for me.
Was able to work around this by opening sqlcmd, finding the problem query with sp_who2 then killing it.
At this point I was able to access other tabs I had open in SSMS and copy a couple that had not been saved to a notepad. Of course, when I tried to do anything else Windows said that SSMS was not responsive and gave me the option to force close it or debug.
This worked for me:
Deleting Temp file present on %temp% location. If the problem still happens restart SSMS.
This happened due to unused temp files.

This is becoming insanely frustrating and completely random. We cannot work anymore on the SQL because any small action we do will lock SSMS and will force us to end task.
In the middle of the work a popup appears: "SSMS is waiting for an operation to complete. bla bla bla" with two options: SWITCH TO and CONTINUE WAITING.
None of them does anything, not clear which operation is it talking about.
This happens when trying to open a table, a view or even pasting into a query window. When typing the query manually it doesn't happen!
Ending task and reopening the SMSS will immediately result in the same.
We tried to:
Restart SQL server
Right clicking in the taskbar (Someone suggested that)
Using SSMS from another network computer
Running select * from sys.sysprocesses where blocked<>0. there were no results.
Because of point 3 we assume that the problem is not in the SSMS, but in the SQL instance?
Last time it was resolved by itself, the next time I connected after a day.
Please help, we wasted hours here.
Thanks
I think that ending task of RDPclip on the remote computer solved the issue.
I will see when this happens again if doing it resolving it.
I'm new to using SQL server and had queries saved in OneDrive. When I tried accessing them I got the same pop up and had to end the OneDrive task in task manager. I just save everything locally now.
I lately changed my virtual machine from a Virtual Box to Hyper-V because of better performance on Hyper-V. After I did this I cannot restore a database (2008R2 all environments, same version) from outside a test or production environment, and I could before. I request this error in my SQL log:
backupiorequest::reportioerror read failure on backup device. Operating system error 13 (failed to retrieve text for this error. Reason 15105)
I tried ofcause google, which tells me that Operating System error 13 is somekind of "permission failure". I tried to give the backup file full control for everyone, but seems not to make any difference.
I think it is a permission problem, im just stuck and dont know how to solve the problem, any suggestions?
I changed my virtual machine name from one thing to another, could it be the problem so my "rights" is right now assigned to oldName and not newName and if yes, where do I need to change those?
You can lookup error codes here, for example:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382(v=vs.85).aspx
As it states, error 13 (or 0x0D) is ERROR_INVALID_DATA, so chances are, your backup is corrupted.
You can try to copy it to different machine and restore there. Also, it wouldn't hurt to run restore verifyonly and restore headeronly against the backup.
I tried to look at the permission for the SQL database, it seems to be ok. Tried to move it back to the original server. Seems that something went in the transaction to the endpoint.
The SQL.bak. Tried to do it again got the same result. So something is going on when im transfer it to a shared drive and grabbing it from there :(
So the answer is that the header file is broken :(
After installing SP2 to an existing SQL Server 2008 R2 I lost access to all my databases and started facing the error in the screenshot.
Any ideas?
Check the environment value for Temp and TMP.
C:\Users\buck>set t
TEMP=C:\Users\buck\AppData\Local\Temp\2
TMP=C:\Users\buck\AppData\Local\Temp\2
Make sure the directory listed exist and your id has appropriate permission to write to that directory. Alternatively, through the control panel (Control Panel-> System and Security-> System -> Advanced system settings), you can change the default directories that are assigned to TEMP and TMP.
When I've seen this issue, it is usually because the Drive that SSMS is installed on has run out of free space. Deleting some old Log files clears the issue up.
Doing that quick check might be worthwhile before going forward with a re-install.
I got this error on our remote shared server. Turned out that our C drive did not have any space left.
I got it working by asking my colleague to close his SQL Server Management Studio session and it cleared up 7 GB right away! I could login then! Woot woot!
Right click on the SSMS icon and click 'run as administrator'. At the SSMS console verify that the error is gone by clicking on the 'Databases' tree node. The error should now be permanently fixed and you do not need to run SSMS as admin anymore. Next time just start SSMS normally and it should work fine.
Changing the temp variables did not resolve. Drive with SMMS installed has 34% free space.
However, using Run > %temp% > it would error out as "C:\%username%\appdata\local\temp\4 was missing" (this is not listed in my TEMP/TMP variables).
Quick solution was to add sub folder for "4" in c:\%username%\appdata\local\temp\ and now able to open SMMS without issue.
When running into this I found it was related to the environment temp folder (TMP Temp).
I had tried adding the "2" folder to this location with no success.
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp\2
Try typing %temp% in file explorer and see if it takes you to a valid location. I found that I received an error because it was trying to go to a "4" location.
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp\4
I created a folder named "4" in the Temp folder, reran SSMS, and it started working again.
A quick google suggest that apparently it is a bit common issue. It looks like that it is not an issue of SQL Server itself but actually .NET issue And most common (and quick) solution I found is to reinstall SSMS.
I've found that if you are upgrading an iseries odbc driver on a sql cluster. Lots of times you will run into this issue exactly. Renaming the machine.config in both the 32 bit and 64 bit folders does the trick. we currently upgraded from version 12 or 6.1 to 7.1 or 13 as the version 12 was causing a bug check on one of our SQL instances. Upgraded, and the issues all went away.
Cheers,
According to the following link:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/573771/value-cannot-be-null
I just checked that my user is local admin, then i logged off and logged back in.
After that step i haven't received this error again.
I was receiving this exact error and thought I'd have a go at running the repair.
Well the repair didn't resolve the issue however it did tell me that it was unable to access machine.config in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG - found it didn't exist! There was another file machine.config.default
So had a stab at copying, renaming to .config and viola resolved it and everything working like a champion.
I got the same error in SSMS and I found this link and followed the steps as it mentioned.
The problem appeared to be when accessing the contents of a settings file. The file had invalid entries. This file is CurrentSettings-. The fix for this is as shown below:
On the server Go to start menu–>Your profile–>Documents–>SQL Server Management Studio–>Settings (this is the location of the file specified above)
Delete all files from this folder
Restart sqlserver services
Launch the SSMS and this error is gone. You will be able to expand all the folders and perform regular SSMS activities without this error.
Once I performed these steps and restarted my PC this error was gone and SSMS worked fine.
I just faced this issue and resolved it immediately in 5 mins. Just go to Control Panel and Run Troubleshooting tool on Programs.
**PATH** Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Programs
It will give you the list of installed programs which may have any issue. Scroll down that list and find 'SQL Server Management Studio' and run troubleshooting process on that. It will hopefully fix you issue.
I gets this messages many times and every time it is resolved by different solutions below few of it.
Solution: Clear cache from temp folder, Press windows + R => type "%temp%" => Delete all the files from temp folder... And try weather it works and opens ssms successfully
Solution: create folder named "2" in this above mentioned temp folder location... And try weather it works and opens ssms successfully.
Solution:create folder named "4" in this above mentioned temp folder location... And try weather it works and opens ssms successfully.
Solution: It may cause because of low disk space in drive ssms is installed... so free some space...And try weather it works and opens ssms successfully.
Solution: Format is the last solution...
Vista just finished one of its many updates. After restarting my computer I try connecting to SqlServer2008 instance with Sql Server Management Studio and I get this error:
Error connecting to '...\MSSQLSERVER2008'.
Additional information:
Login failed for user '...'. Reason: Server is in script upgrade mode. Only administrator can connect at this time. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18401).
Pressing help gets me to an internet page saying there's no additional information.
Thx Vista & Updates. Anyone an idea because on the internet I can't find anything about this issue.
It appears This Guy was having the same problems as you and his only suggestion was to wait a few minutes before trying to log in again.
I have yet to see any type of Microsoft documentation about this, nor have I seen any forum posts which came to any sort of resolution concerning the same problem.
Check your event viewer. I had the same problem and found that (in my case) it was looking for a directory that didn't exist to perform an upgrade script. NO hint that there was any sort of problem in the dialog, but the event viewer showed clearly what the problem was.

I had the same problem. Waiting until update was done did not help. Solution was, (after checking Windows eventlog) to set the folder rights. SQL-Express had no rights on the database folder, why ever. Something has mixed up the rights during the upgrade from WinXP to Win 7. That was it.
Adding a comment to this page since this is the top Google result for "script upgrade mode". It seems that a number of things can cause a SQL Server DB to go into this mode. In our shop we've run into these two cases in the past months:
Log shipping - Can't recall at what point of the process exactly the DB went into this mode, iirc it was when bringing it back up. The solution was just to wait it out.
Hard drive full - The DB went into this mode when it ran out of space. We're currently clearing up the drive, will come back with an update if waking it up turns out to be challenging.
Update: After freeing up disk space, it was a simple matter of setting the DB "Offline" and then "Online" to bring it back up.
We had the same issue, but needed to know what was going on in the background.
The db's were put into recovery mode, hence they had to recover. To assist we went to the SQL Server error log located where the system files (normally master, model, msdb...) are located, but under the log folder. In the ERRORLOG, we did a find on the word recovery and could watch the db's percentage recovered. Everything recovered normally, but it was much longer than expected.
The Reason for this is that the system reboot happens with important\necesssary softwares loaded and does all other operation later so that the booting happens faster.
Here in your case, the sql booting is happening as the start of SQL is not needed for system to start. I hope you are aware of DAC account(Dedicated Administrator Connection, Link) who has seperate connectivity and has ability to resolve issues even the whole SQL server is not responing. The SQL server is asking you either to wait or open the SQL with DAC account and stop the SQL update.
Solutions:
1) Wait until backround update completes
2) Open SQL using DAC account and kill all running processes
I am stuck with something really nasty here. I have a SSAS Cube that was working fine till day before yesterday. Had some performance issues on the server and got cummulative patch 938077 on top of Service Pack2.
Since then I have not been able to deploy the cube - with a strange error -
File System Error: The following error occurred during a file operation: Access is denied.
I am administrator on the machine, have possibly checked the whole of file system for permissions. Have deleted the existing cube, stopped services, server, tried redeployment - nothing works.
Unfortunately I forgot to take a snapshot of pre-patch image, so cann't restore back. Only option I am currently left with is to rebuild the server, if I cann't fix this.
Strange but I cann't find anything on any forums about this.
Yes, one more strange thing related to this - I had SSIS package, to load DW (datasource for above cube), and strangely I have lost all my Data flow tasks. Something wierd is really going on and I cann't trace it.
Any suggestions or help would be great. I just cann't think of anything right now.
Cheers!!
Vineet
Figured it out, its more of a permission issue on the server than with the cube itself. Ran the SQL services under Local System account (after new security patches applied without us knowing it) and it worked fine.
