hi .
I am facing a problem for excessive usgae of memory by SQL server.
It slows down the performance.
i mean to say the site runing using the Server is responding slowly.
both IIs and SQL server are on same machine .
Systenm has 2GB Of RAM and Max allocated to Sql Server is 2048 MB ith min 0
WIth Performance monitor wehen we monitor it gives the
Cache Hit Ratio 99.96637
Cache Flushes 0.0
Free Page Scan (Avg) 0.0
Free Page Scan (Max) 0.0
Min Free Buffers 331.0
Cache Size 4362.0
Free Buffers 27193.0
the memory allocated to it is
num Proc buffs 30
num Proc buffs used 30
num Proc buffs Active 25
proc cache size 24
proc cache Used 24
proc cache Active 19


the total Memory usage is almost 291 MB

Is this could be the problem that max usage of memory allowed is 2048 MB ie
2 GB so whenever the SQL needs it uses it but doesn't frees it up as requd
untill th os does .Or What could be the problem .
Pls help me > Thanks & Best Regards,

Vivek Jain

Sql server will grab any memory it can. Try limitting the amount of memory available to it.
In enterprise manager right click on the server, propeties, memory.


==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
