FIX: Server Out of Memory when Inserting into Text/Image Fields

ID: Q158763

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Open Database Connectivity Driver versions 2.5 and 2.65

BUG #: 16076 (NT: 6.5)

SYMPTOMS

Using the 32-bit SQL Server Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver to insert chunks of data into text/image columns with the SQLPutData API may cause error 701, "There is insufficient memory to execute the query," from SQL Server 6.5.

WORKAROUND

The amount of data inserted into the image/text field can be increased by increasing the amount of memory allocated to SQL Server and the amount of memory allocated to the procedure cache.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft ODBC driver versions 2.5 and 2.65. This problem has been corrected in the SQL Server ODBC driver included with the U.S. Service Pack 2 for Microsoft SQL Server version 6.5. For more information, contact your primary support provider.

MORE INFORMATION

If your system is configured to the minimal SQL Server configuration of 8 MB of memory and 30 percent of memory allocated to the procedure cache, data that is over 2 MB in size may exhibit the problem. Data of about 1 MB in size does not exhibit any problem.
