SSIS Out Of Memory

Kevin Hill diagnoses an out-of-memory error in SQL Server Integration Services:

Notice the red sections above:

  • Not enough storage – was this physical memory, virtual memory or disk?

  • Buffer failed to allocate (10MB) – Why?

  • 2% memory load – yes, this box has 1 TB of RAM…plenty for what we are doing you would think.

  • Attempt to add a row – well, yeah…if SSIS uses buffers and cannot allocate one, there are either none, or they are full.  Makes logical sense to me

I won’t spoil the ending; you’ll have to read it over there.
