SQL 2005 error message of the day (7/22/08)

On July 22, 2008, in Misc, by Mitch Milam

Wow! I got a really scary error message today after I restarted the SQL server on one of my dev boxes and attempted to hit a CRM instance:

A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 – No process is on the other end of the pipe.)

That looks bad.  It looks worse displayed in that ASP.NET 24 point type the unhandled exception page uses. The world is just going to freaking end.

Luckily, the world was saved by me retrying the operation.  But, it was a close call. :)
