Hi,

I am working on a code with lot of datatables, each having large number of records - 150000 plus. it was running fine till few days back and suddenly it started throwing error -
Sytem memory out of exception.

With a few links, i get to know that 32 bit OS allows max 2gb object size. I am running on a machine with 4GB physical memory.

Can somebody suggest anything to get it resolved. It's very urgent!

Thanks,

Solution 1

The memory limit per process is not something you can overcome on a 32bit system (no matter if you have 4gb of ram installed).

1) Try doing your process on smaller chunks of data.

2) Move to a 64bit OS.

Thanks Gholam,

I doubt as on one of my machines with same configurations, the same process runs fine.
So what could be the other cause?

And also i want to know whether 2GB limit is for a process or for a datatable. As i guess each of my datatable would be of smaller than 2GB, but yes, collectively all the datatbles(while the process is running) will be greater than 2 GB.

Any idea?
