Error 703

1.  A dbcc checkcatalog attempted on a database which has many objects (for example, over 640 tables) may get a 703 error message.  Thusly, the memory request failed because more than 64 pages are required to run the query in its present form. The query should be broken up into shorter queries if possible.  To fix this execute master..CatalogCheck and key in the following script into a file named NEWCATCK.SQL and execute it:

isql /Usa /P<password> /S<server> /e /inewcatck.sql /onewcatck.rpt The script is:

create procedure CatalogCheck as
/* Check syscolumns <---> sysobjects on "id" */

if exists (select *
from syscolumns
where id not in (select id
from sysobjects))
print "A column exists in syscolumns with no associated object in
sysobjects"

/* Check syscolumns <---> systypes on "usertype" */

if exists (select *
from syscolumns
where usertype not in (select usertype
from systypes))

print "A column exists in syscolumns with no associated type in systypes"

* Check sysobjects <---> syscolumns on "id" for views */

if exists (select *
from sysobjects
where type in ('v', 'V')
and id not in (select id
