SYMPTOMS

When you run a Full-Text query that uses compound words in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, you receive the following error message in the Error log file:
Date Time spidID Error: 701, Severity: 17, State: 123.
Date Time spidID There is insufficient system memory in resource pool 'internal' to run this query.
Additionally, if you run a Full-Text query successfully after this problem occurs, you receive the same error message.

CAUSE

This problem occurs for all the following reasons:
  • There is a bug in the code that is used to evaluate how many rowsets are required to perform a sorting operation. Therefore, the code greatly overestimates the numbers of rowsets. The required grant estimate in full-text is 64 pages for each rowset that is required to sort.
  • There is a large request that blocks the system from using the memory that is reserved for the full-text query.
