PRSQL9108007: Error 703 When Trying to Add New Logins

ID Number: Q75661

OS/2

buglist1.10

Summary:

Problem ID: PRSQL9108007

SYMPTOM

When trying to add a new user login ID through the Admin menu in

SAF, the following error results:

Memory request failed because more than 64 pages are required to

run the query in its present form. The query should be broken up

into shorter queries if possible." (Msg 703, Level 17, state 2).

CAUSE

When attempting to add a new login ID through the Admin menu in

SAF, SQL Server first checks to see what, if any, user logins have

been set up in LAN Manager. If there are user logins set up in LAN

Manager, SAF will display those in the Add Login ID screen.

This error occurs when running SQL Server on a LAN Manager network

configured as User Level Security, and more than 164 user logins

exist for LAN Manager. SAF incorrectly fetches and displays the

list of login IDs to choose from.

WORKAROUND

After receiving the error, pressing ENTER will remove the error

from the screen, and a new user login ID can then be added.

However, none of the existing LAN Manager login IDs will be

displayed in the login ID box.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SQL Server version

1.1. We are currently researching this problem and will post new

information here as it becomes available.
