First some background: Application is running on a windows XP I’m currently using Ruby version 1.8.6-26 with easy installer (I couldn’t manage to manually install 1.8.7) Rails version is 2.2.2 activerecord version 2.2.2, 1.15.6 activerecord-sqlserver-adapter is version 1.0.0.9250 ADO.rb version is 0.1.0 (couldn’t find anything newer, is it abandoned or something?) SqlServer 2000 (I tried with sql server 2005 same problem continues) I don’t know it’s related but as session store I’m using active\_record\_store Problem: Database queries are generally working fine, but sometimes (lets say once in 30-40 queries) I get a strange error at sqlserver\_adapter.rb, the error message and stack trace is as follows. DBI::DatabaseError: Value OLE error code:8000FFFF in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server Iİşlem::Kaydet veya Iİşlem::Durdur çağrıldı ve nesne meşgul durumda. HRESULT error code:0x80020009 ?zel durum olu?tu.: SELECT \* FROM [product] WHERE ([product].[isActive] = 1 AND [product].[useInMobileOrder] = 1)

error message seems to be coming from Microsoft provider so it’s message is localized to Turkish. A direct translation would be something like DBI::DatabaseError: Value OLE error code:8000FFFF in Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server **ITransaction::Commit or ITransaction::Abort was called, and object is in a zombie state.** Any ideas to solve the problem? Thx in advance
