Hi

I need to calculate the MD5 on SQL Server 2005 32-bits (no way for us to upgrade to 64-bits). I do it in a VB.Net method with which I have created an assembly in SQL server (so that I can use my method like a SQL UDF).

It works great for small data but when I have a large object, I get one of those error:

Msg 6535, Level 16, State 49, Line 1
.NET Framework execution was aborted. Another query caused the AppDomain DB_icISDev.dbo[runtime].101 to be unloaded or an unhandled .NET exception happened.
System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted.
System.Threading.ThreadAbortException:
at SqlServerProject1.UserDefinedFunctions.TestComputeMD5FromID(Int32 pID)

or

Msg 6532, Level 16, State 49, Line 1
.NET Framework execution was aborted by escalation policy because of out of memory.
System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted.
System.Threading.ThreadAbortException:
at System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlBytes.get_Value()
at System.Data.SqlServer.Internal.XvarBlobStream.GetByteArray()
at System.Data.SqlServer.Internal.XvarBlobStream.GetSqlBinary()


Any solutions/workaround?

BTW, the same mehtod works correctly and with the same large object when not called from SQL Server.
