We have a process that we successfully ran on virtually identical databases. The process completed fine on a machine with 8 gig of memory. The process fails when run on another machine that has 16 gig of memory with the following error:

out of memory for query result

How is this possible?

The databases are almost identical. By that I mean, the database that the process completed properly is a dump of the database from the machine where it failed. There is about a week's more data in the database where the process failed. The whole database only takes up about 13 gig of disk space.

Any clues would be appreciated.
