- Subject: GREP: Memory Exhausted
Hello All,
I am a support engineer from Microsoft trying to help my Customer Maziyar Samadzadeh. We have been notified by Maziyar that when they perform a Query on a bigger database using GREP we get the following error
GREP: Memory Exhausted
We have figured that at one point during the Query the application starts allocating memory drastically till we get this error. This happens probably within 30 seconds. On Further research we found that the GREP application has same behaviour on UNIX and LINUX environment. This seems to be same on Windows Environment too. However, in Windows the application cannot grow beyond 2GB so it crashes at that mark.
Do we have any know issues with GREP. If Yes, has this been taken care in later updates? Please update us regarding the issue as soon as possible.
