John,
"But no one is addr5essing why the thing gives an error and stops when I
try to run a view and main memory runs out."

It's not an error from SQL, at least not on the surface, its whatever
client you are using that is timing out.
AFAIK SQL will attempt to run a query forever...  unless limits are
placed on it.
The limits can come from clients OR from SQL.  Check the database
properties and see if you set the timeout
at some stage. IIRC 0 means run forever.

Grab the execution plan from QA for the query and post it, it may tell
us something.

cheers
