Hi All,

I have a SQLDumper.exe running on my machine
which creates .mdmp,.log, .txt files in the folder
..\\program files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\LOG

it will eat up my entire harddisk space in few minutes.
is there a way to stop this .exe so that the files are not created.


Back drop of Sql dumper.
this is used for microsoft to find the error which is thrown by sql server.

Any help appreciated in resolving this issue.

i am not very sure whether this is the forum to post it.
awaiting response and solution.

I'd be more worried about why SQL Server is repeatedly throwing access violations and stack dumping. it usually indicates a serious problem.

Yes, you are correct.
But i need to stop it anyway.

The Work Around is if i reinstall sql server the problem is solved.
But thats the solution.

Personally, re-read Gail's response. Find and get rid of the root cause and, hopefully, never worry about it again. Re-insalling is only going to prolong the agony when it occurs again. and again. and again.

Then reinstall SQL. It could be something as simple as a corrupted dll, or an installation that didn't complete properly.

It happens very often everyweek ones. its not a good solution to reinstall all the time.

You need to open a case with Microsoft PSS.

Dumper means that SQL is throwing access violations. About the only people that can really help with that are Microsoft's CSS (customer Support). Call them and open a case.
Also, do some hardware diagnostics on your machine, see if you have faulty memory, faulty drives or something like that.
