Unable to deallocate a kept page?

  • Does anyone have any insights on this error: "Unable to deallocate a kept page. [SQLSTATE HY000] (Error 831)"

    I get the error on jobs that usually succeed just fine.

  • This was removed by the editor as SPAM

  • I am facing this same issue. I am facing it when executing stored procedures. It does happen randomly though.

     

    Anyone has any input on this?

  • ok I was able to get a resolution on this issue.

    It is supposedly a bug in SQL Server 2005 engine. Microsoft has fixed this problem and it will be in SP2 when it is released. However I do not know the schedule of this release.

    The issue went away on its own on my server but experts recommend that you can also deal with it by re-starting SQL.

     

    Hope this helps

     

     

  • Where did you find this resolution?  In an article somewhere? Please share...

    Thanks for your help!

  • I am having the same trouble. Any updates on this topic. I have the latest service pack but it still get the error randomly.

  • I can't say that I've experienced this problem, but has any of you tried DBCC DROPCLEANBUFFERS OR DBCC FREESYSTEMCACHE ?

  • The stored procs does not use any cursors. It uses #temp tables other than that there are no major reasons to fill up the memory. The server has tons of memory. Any help? I'll buy you lunch.

  • I have the same issue on 2005 SP1 2153. Has anyone tracked down an article or bug no?

     

  • This is the first time I have got this message.  It happened on backup job that completed successfully.  I am running SP2.  Any further comments on this?

  • This has just occured to one of our databases that is log shipped. We too are running SQL 2005 SP2 (9.0.3054).  I was able to just do a Transaction Log restore with the next log file and things are running OK so far.

  • We haven't had the message since my last post but given this is prod and there are very large databases on this server I really would like to know why this is happening so if it has the potential to damage something I know how to fix it or what would be better to prevent damage occuring in the first place.  Any more comments for a resolve?

  • I just got this error for the first time on a large production system.

    Msg 831, Sev 20, State 1, Line 2 : Unable to deallocate a kept page. [SQLSTATE HY000]

    It happened during a DBCC shrinkfile operation, and caused the agent job to fail. I am already at SP2, so that is clearly not the solution. No joy from Microsoft on this one yet.

  • This appears to be a bug in SQL Server 2005 SP2. Here is a link to M/S support for the hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949199

  • I would hope M/S has covered this in SP3.
