Script is 25.5 GB. Using Vista Business on Quad Core 2.33GHz processor, 2GB of RAM. This error occurs when attempting to open the script.

  • Assuming "GB" isn't a typo...!

    I'm afraid SQL Multi Script needs to load the entire script into memory before executing it. On a 32-bit machine, each process is limited to 2GB of memory space, even if the system has more physical memory installed. [Edit: I've just checked and SQL Multi Script is currently set to run as a 32-bit process, even on a 64-bit operating system, so upgrading to Vista x64 won't help here]

    We tested up to about 500MB scripts, if I remember correctly, but that's a couple of orders of magnitude smaller than what you're attempting.

    Out of interest, what are you trying to do that results in such a gigantic script? :-)

    Thanks,

  • I am curious about this. I was running a script against 99 databases and failed on the "out of memory" error. The script is only about 3.5mb large and has about 17k lines of code.
    Is there a limit to the lines of code? The machine that I used has 2GB of RAM and enough processor power to run these scripts.
    Here is the context of the error:

    SQL Multi Script has encountered a problem. Details are as follows:

    Yes, the forums are moderated, but I assume that the person who replied to the topic would answer any further posts.

    I don't know anything about this issue, so maybe it would be best to contact support@red-gate.com - at any rate I don't think this topic is simple enough to use the forum as a support channel.
  • I had the same error. Reviewing in detail I could see that it was error generating the DevExpress Grid component, which shows the result of the execution of Scripts.He solved the problem eliminated PRINT and set the SET NOCOUNT ON. :D:D:D:D
