An "Out of Memory" error message while executing DBCC primary occurs when the DBCC process performs check on large databases and utilizes CPU (Central Processing Unit) massively. Another cause of this error can be corruption of SQL Server database due to logical or physical reasons. While the former issue can be resolved by increasing the memory space, the latter needs an adequate database backup. The backup allows you to restore the data and continue with your database operations. However, if the database backup is unavailable, then you need to use an efficient SQL Database Repair application that can repair the databases.

To illustrate the above case, consider the error message:

"Memory allocation error during DBCC processing."

After the above error message appears, the SQL Server stops functioning, resulting in inaccessibility of all the database records.

Cause

The above error message pops up only when the server runs out of memory. The error message appears when a buffer from buffer pool can not be stolen for use as bitmap, by coverage bitmap for non clustered index.


The above scenario occurs when the database is corrupted.

Note: Corruption in SQL Server database can either occur due to logical or physical reason.

Resolution

Follow the below mentioned guidelines to repair your database and to access your records:
For examining if the error was caused due to physical damage, you need to firstly run the hardware diagnostics and also check the operating system, application logs, and SQL Server logs. To isolate the problem caused due to hardware malfunction, swap the damaged hardware component with a new component.
For logical damages, you will need to initially determine the extent of damage by running DBCC CHECKDB command without any repair clause. Next, run the DBCC CHECKDB command with a suitable repair clause (as recommended by DBCC CHECKDB) to repair logically corrupted database.

The second resolution may have adverse effect or even delete database records, a better option is to use an effective third-party ms sql repair application. A SQL Repair tool ensures comprehensive repair of corrupt SQL Server database, without any loss of database records. The tool does not harm the original data saved in the database, making it a completely non-destructive application.


SQL Recovery repairs corrupt MS SQL Server without deleting or modifying the original database records. Compatible with SQL Server 2008, 20005, and 2000, the sql database repair software is built with highly interactive user-interface that makes it easy to understand. It supports Windows 7, Vista, 2008, XP, 2003, and 2000.
