From Microsoft Knowledge Base on error 17803: <<http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=sql2k>> A Memory Leak Occurs When Cursors Are Opened During a Connection.

It looks all the symptom are quite similar to the above discription. But the fix "may receive addition testing and if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wit for the next service pack."

on this server, sql2k sp3 has been applied. Does anyone have similare issue and applied the fix yet?

thanks

p.s. This server has been running around 2 years with the same application. This error about insufficient memory is the first time. And it is ok now after a cool boot.

I found similar posting in some other forums. I am curious on your memory settings and system configurations.

see the below 2 links and see whether it is helpful for u.
