Hi all,

I'm very new with SQL Server. My company just purchased a dedicated server and we installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The operating system is Windows Server 2003.

We have only 8 databases in that machine and there is this 1 particular database that keeps getting error. I know that the database is in error if I go to the Management Studio Express and I expand the database, that particular database has no [+] expand symbol and if I try to view the properties it will say "out of memory error" or something like that.

How can I find out what is causing this error? That database has is 18MB and is not used frequently. The error usually appears once every month.

How to debug this issue?

thanks in advance

For SQL Server 2005 Express Edition there is nothing to monitor the server or database,if possible better install Developer Edition and use the profiler to find the cause of the error.
