A friendly nudge from Vitaliy Rudnicki (SAP) on twitter in April made me check if I could manage to come up with a talk and write and record it in time for the event. Obviously, this worked out, otherwise, you wouldn’t be reading about it now.

Last week a colleague from the WHM (data warehouse management) support team called me to get some assistance with a customer message he was processing.

The customer complained about short dumps with the infamous “TSV_TNEW_BLOCKS_NO_ROLL_MEMORY” error, which is basically the way an ABAP work process reports that it ran out of memory.

In my last blog entry “Starting off with a classic…” I presented a classic issue that may appear when the database software is upgraded.

The problem was that sometimes result sets are delivered to the user in a sorted manner even if no ORDER BY was specified. If the user/developer relies on this order it may be a cause for application errors, as the database don’t guarantee the order if ORDER BY is omitted.
