SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft SQL Server 2000, you perform one of the following operations:
• You run the following statement. 
DBCC FREEPROCCACHE
• You perform an ALTER DATABASE operation.
• You run the sp_configure stored procedure, or you run the sp_detach_db stored procedure.
• You restore a database.
When you perform one of these operations, the following symptoms may occur:
•The server stops responding.
•The performance is slow when you run a query.
•A time-out occurs when you run a query.
Additionally, the following error message may be logged in the SQL Server 2000 error log:
Error: 17883, Severity: 1, State: 0
Process 51:0 (dbc) UMS Context 0x018DA930 appears to be non-yielding on Scheduler 0.

Back to the top

CAUSE

This problem occurs because SQL Server takes a long time to free a large procedure cache. The operations that are mentioned in the "Symptoms" section trigger a process to free the procedure cache. If the procedure cache is large, this problem occurs.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
