Bug #: 425165 (SQLBUDT)

Memory error: The operation cannot be completed because the memory quota estimate (XXX MB) exceeds the available system memory (XXX MB).

CAUSE

This problem occurs because SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services incorrectly estimates the memory quota for a dimension that contains lots of levels and leaf members.
