Hi All,

while our sheduled update stats job was running yesterday it was terminted abnormally and in logs i found the error as:
SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 7 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process
later i googled to see what the error is all about and why it failed..
i cld gather some info though.. later without any changes made i just ran the job sucessfully, surprising though

fyi:iam logging in using SA.. and have all rights

can anyone throw some light on this error or any suggestions plz....

that's an error internally in sql server. It means something in the terminated spid is dereferencing a NULL pointer or some such.

what SP and version of sql server are you running? If you are running the latest SP, I would report this to ms.

that's a supported sp, so I would report this to MS if I were you. It would be best if you have a solid repro (but it sounds like you don't). At least tell them in detail the steps that led up to this AV.

Still, they should know about it. Give them as much information as you can. Give them everything in the ERRORLOG that looks like it may be applicable, and also a script for creating the agent job if you can.
