Hello all. Is there a place in SQL server that I can look to see what SQL is doing to eat up so much memory? I can see the SQLAGENT in my windows processes, but I would like to know why it is using 18 GB of memory. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.Joefuss |

If you'd like a more detailed breakdown of how SQL Server is consuming the memory - use the sys.dm_os_memory_objects and sys.dm_os_memory_clerks views - these views will detail what memory objects are SQL Server allocated - use this script - http://www.sqlserver-dba.com/2013/03/memory-objects-allocated-by-sql-server.htmlJack Vamvas--------------------http://www.sqlserver-dba.com |
