I am working in SQLS 2005, sr 3. I have built a CTE that joins two large tables and then appends its output to a third table - routine stuff that I have done hundreds of times. However, today, and for the first time, the procedure terminated and gave this error:

"Time-out occurred while waiting for buffer latch type 2 for page..."

I have checked on the Internet and can find very few articles on this error - and only for SQLS 2008.

Can anyone throw any light on this and tell me if there is a fix for SQLS 2005? Meanwhile, I will need to re-write the procedure to avoid working in a temporary table.

Thanks.

Chris
