SQL server agent starts, then stops automatically

Hi,

SQL server (SQLXPRESS2014) is getting stopped automatically. In the event viewer I am getting the following error message.

SQL Server is terminating because of fatal exception c0000005. This error may be caused by an unhandled Win32 or C++ exception, or by an access violation encountered during exception handling. Check the SQL error log for any related stack dumps or messages. This exception forces SQL Server to shutdown. To recover from this error, restart the server (unless SQLAgent is configured to auto restart).

Can you please let me know what could be the reason of this issue ?
Kindly waiting for your resposne.

Thanks,
Santosh

It is very simple: SQL Server Express Edition does not support SQL Server Agent. It is somewhat klunky that the service is still there, so it lures you to think that it should work. But it doesn't.

If you need Agent, you will aim for a paid version of SQL Server. Then again, there is always WIndows Task Scheduler.

Hi @SantoshUmarani-1390,

Yes. Agree with Erland. SQL Server Express Edition is a free version that does not include the SQL Agent.
About SQL Server Agent: See FAQ and examples about the SQL Server Agent

This error means that you were not able to reach SQL Server. There can be many reasons for this error:
- SQL Server is not running.
- There is no SQL Server instance with that name on the machine.
- There is a firewall blocking.
- The Browser service is not running
- Etc.

Here is a link to a troubleshooter you can use: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/troubleshoot-connecting-to-the-sql-server-database-engine?view=sql-server-2017
