-This issue occurs because SSMS has insufficient memory to allocate for large results. SSMS is a 32-bit process. Therefore, it is limited to 2 GB of user-mode virtual memory. SSMS imposes an artificial limit on how much text that can be displayed per database field in the results window. This limit is 64 KB in "Grid" mode and 8 KB in Text mode. If the result set is too large, the memory that is required to display the query results may surpass the 2 GB limit of the SSMS process. Therefore, a large result set can cause the error that is mentioned in the [Symptoms](#symptoms) section.
